Opening a new topic for this question from one of the existing topics, as it's a good one. 

We currently have four Honorary Consuls, located in Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Phuket and Koh Samui, places where we normally have large numbers of ex-pats and tourists. We also have Consular Agents in Hua Hin, Trang and Koh Pha Ngan.

Honorary Consuls and Agents perform a vital role for the Embassy by acting as an extension of our consular services. Their primary role is to offer urgent and usually immediate assistance to British Nationals facing serious problems in their respective regions; this could be for example, an arrest, a hospitalisation, a violent crime, a death or anything where rapid help or guidance is required on the ground. If these cases are complex they then hand them over to us, if not they can sometimes provide all the assistance needed.  Hon Cons and Agents are trained to deal with all kinds of cases and also play a key role in our response to full-blown crises. They also develop and maintain vital contacts in their respective areas, for example with local government and police authorities.

Names and contact details would be even more valuable than the many words above.    Why the secrecy?

Is there a consulate near Nong Khai or, failing that, Udon Thani?

As far as I know, there is just the Embassy in Bangkok.

No secrecy - we weren't asked for names and contact information, we were asked what they do and where they are. It's a fair request, though, and we will share them. Just confirming final details. 

I have only just discovered this British Consulate section and I must say I'm impressed, very impressed.  What a innovative idea, I congratulate whoever at the Consulate decided to do this and Thaivisa.  

 

Presumably honorary consular services only apply to emergencies and not to get letters, legalized documents, etc which I'm guessing must be done at the Embassy in Bangkok.  Would be great if this could be offered, especially in this day and age with covid travel worries.

 

 

What is claimed in the OP is untrue. The Hon. Consuls were prevented by the BE providing any form of consular assistance which if required now has to be requested from the Embassy/Consulate in Bangkok --

So you're claiming that an official British Consular post about British Consular services is untrue?!   Hmm; I wonder who to believe?

Hi @pontious, here is a post on Thai Visa where we shared contact details of our honorary consuls.

Thanks for that.   Is it possible to include the agents as well.?

Could you explain what you mean by agents?

We also have Consular Agents in Hua Hin, Rayong, Trang and Koh Pha Ngan.

Sure. We've just added contact details of Consular Agents to the post. Please check it out.

Where they are usually means an address.

Our Hon Cons and agents don't have official premises for their roles with us. If you need to contact one, please use the e-mail addresses we have provided.
