lopburi3 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 What holiday is May 28th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalchromakey Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 What holiday is May 28th? The last Monday in May (28th) is a Bank Holiday in the UK (Spring Bank Holiday) - so the Thai Embassy will be closed for sure and also probably the UK Thai Consulates.

U.K. bank holiday.....o.k. that explains it. Also be aware that Vesak Day on 4 June is a Buddhist holiday in Thailand and listed as a Thai public holiday....expect the Thai Embassy and consulates to be closed that day also.

Bpuumike Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Wouldn't it be easier to just phone and ask them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endure Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The only Thai EMBASSY in the UK is in London. All the rest are Consulates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The only Thai EMBASSY in the UK is in London. All the rest are Consulates. Don't just leave it like that. Tell all these punters what the difference is between the Consulates and the Embassy....apart from the fact they are ALL closed on Thai and ENGLISH holidays despite the fact that some government wonk decided to swap the ENGLISH holidays around this year for ol' Liz.

Tell all these punters what the difference is between the Consulates and the Embassy.... The Consulates are scattered around the UK - the Embassy is in London. The Embassy has a Consular section which is open for ridiculously short hours and is best avoided if you have any Consular business to conduct.

marstons Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 well i guess if the phone line to the consul are busy some body on Thai visa is bound to know or could use google and find its closed on all UK public holidays. Consulate is closed at weekends and on all UK National Holidays http://www.embassy-in-thailand.com/tag/thai-consulate-in-birmingham/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
