Yes. There are scheduled visits to Koh Samui but probably not when you want.

Yes, you can. I have done it twice at the embassy in Laos, now have a 96 page passport. It's free, and can be done at any US embassy or US consulate. Well, at least it used to be that way. However, I have one of the old passports "pre 9-11". Maybe the new, more secure passports are harder to add pages to, don't know.

Immigration officials must love perusing through your personal copy of "War and Peace" at border points.

btw, I wonder what the record is?....

I've done it 3 times, don't know number of pages but it's huge and certainly over 100. I have to keep a clip or pos-it on the page with current visa otherwise takes forever to find.

Immigration officials either give up perusing after a few minutes or don't even try...just ask me to find the relevant current page for them. But then, I'm a middle aged woman which puts me in a very low-risk demographic. A guy and/or arab/south asian/african with a thick passport might encounter more delays and scrutiny. Sad but true.

Dunno but I have seen some Indian passports that looked about as thick as a phone book, probably because Indian citizens need a visa to visit most countries which use up full passport pages quickly.

Used to do it with the old Brit PPs but not any more.

When I was fun running between Saudi-Iraq and Nigeria they used to fill up pretty quickly and the best I ever had was an origional think.. 95 pager with 2 new/extensions stapled on to it plus the ribbon and the big red wax stamp all in all about 200 pages.

A single visit to some of these places involved pages and pages of visa stamps that make LOS look like a non starter.

In some you even had to get a stamp to buy booze...

Also with the EU they dont stamp you in or out when you go on a jolly over to Calais/Amsterdam any more so wee red book usually sufficent nowadays for most people.

For some TV posters, that would change things from War and Peace to Encyclopedia Britannica......

thanks for the info... i called the US embassy in bangkok and they said the ways to do it are: go to the consulate in bangkok, wait for them to come to samui (only about twice a year), or mail in a request to my home consulate and have someone forward to me. FYI
