Hi!

Does anyone know if there is a Danish Embassy/Consulate in or around CM?

Or perhaps some occasional "outreach" facility or periodical visit by embassy staff?

Or ANYTHING to avoid a trip to Bangers!

I have a friend that needs his (non Danish) passport validated, verified and approved by the Danish Embassy - (it's got something to do with some papers he has at the Danish government, I believe) and the friend refuses point blank to make a round-trip of over 2000km to Bangers to get the necessary document, signed and approved by an individual there, that has never before in his life set eyes on my friend - and probably never will, again. (Which, theoretically, I rather agree with!)

Anyway, how do the Danes in/near CM (I presume there ARE some) get along? Do you all have to go to Bangkok to do any embassy business?

And - yes, I'm aware that people from certain other countries have no other choice but to visit their embassy in BKK, or wherever, but I'm asking about info specifically for the Danish Embassy.

Thanks for any help, advice or whatever

Why doesn't your friend email the Danish Embassy in Bangkok and ask the question of them?

Unfortunatly there are only consulates in Phuket and Pattaya, so Bangkok is the closet option unless the Sweedish consulate here in CM can be of assistance.

You mean embassies actually REPLY to emails?

- And Thanks for the info, AndersSN - but I'm not sure if the Swedish Embassy would do the validation or even if it would be accepted at the other end.

Yes, the American Consulate here in CM replies to emails. It may take 2 or 3 business days and they seem to have a lot of closed days, what with taking both Thai and American holidays, but eventually you get an answer.

Give the Danish Embassy in Bangkok a telephone call.

Why not just go to Bkk and make a short holiday from CM. I mean it can't be that bad, there are actually people living there and like it.
