northernjohn Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Was looking on their web site and got this. U.S. citizens who travel to or reside in Thailand are strongly advised to enroll in the State Department's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) https://step.state.gov/step/. U.S. citizens without Internet access may enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. By enrolling, you make it easier for the U.S. embassy or consulate to contact you in case of an emergency. You obviously have access to a computer to get this message. To top it off To get into the conciliate you need an appointment. Get it on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Just trying to think outside the square. "You obviously have access to a computer to get this message." ... is not exactly true. You need an internet enabled device and many today have smart phones. Plus, back in the USA, they most likely have universial access to the internet. As for their statement "U.S. citizens without Internet access may enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate." Being a government organisation, they need to cover their ass and do so by making alternatives available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuestHouse Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Rest assured, if US Citizens were in real danger in Thailand, the US Government and US Embassy would be right on the case of getting them out of harms way. If British Citizens were in real danger in Thailand, the British Government would be responding with 'Your problems are non of our business". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
