Hi all,

 

My (Thai) wife is in need of a new passport and the last couple of times we have been to the office in Khon Kaen to get one as this is just a couple of hours away for us.  Does anyone know if this office is still there, roughly behind the old central bus station, and opening at the moment ?

 

Whilst not an overly exciting place, compared to the village we are in Khon Kaen is the big city and it would be nice to have a couple of days away whilst doing the necessary.  So as a follow up, are hotels (usually stay at Roma), bars, street food stalls, etc open in Khon Kaen ?

 

Thanks for any help ...

Yes

Address and location is here in Thai. https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/publicservice/19745-สถานที่ให้บริการหนังสือเดินทาง

Things are open, restaurants, markets. 

 

I got a Thai passport earlier this year, only 5 years. They do 10 years now. It is in the town hall(near the old bus station), where it has been for many years. 

Thanks Joe and Neeranam ...

If they're anything like the Pattaya Thai passport office, it's best to contact before going there and plan on arriving early.
