Luuk Chaai Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Drew the A card again .. today was the due/return for my final stamp after under consideration "Marriage / Non O " @ Samut Prakan .. It's true what everyone says about Mondays.. got there 8:35 am and the line for information was 25 deep and the tent already had a crowd .. I got on line and my wife walked over to one of the officers and inquired what to do .. they motioned me to go straight to the door .. handed my passport to the staff at the door, was handed a laminated "#9" card and took a seat on the side .. 9:05 a young staffer came out called my # and handed my passport back all stamped and done Checked the dates .. exactly 365 days. Special Thanks to Ubon Joe for all the good info and advice .. and if I can add anything... Let the wife do all the talking.. lol ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtreelove Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Samut Prakan office at Pak Nam is like that, it could have something to do with the fresh air from the sea breeze and being located right on the river. It's well managed, no up-tight officers, I've always been treated respectfully and efficiently. There are few farangs using that office, so their headache is the multitude of foreign workers being processed for the big industrial sector. And when you're done, you can take a stroll along the river, through the market, and take a boat across to the market on the other side and the historical sites.

Bredbury Blue Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 ^I can assure you it didn't use to be like that. It was too busy, the office too small (used to be the left side only, right side was the post office), some officials were aggressive (one senior male in particular), but in recent years they've greatly expended and improved the office, it's now almost all female officers and most definitely during covid the whole service feels like it has improved. It's just far less stressful now than it used to be. Parking is still rubbish though. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
