Hi,

Does any know if Thai passports can be issued anywhere in Southern Thailand? We live in Koh Phangan, Surat Thani. I've heard there is a consulate in Surat and one in Had Yai?

Would rather not go all the way to Bangkok if it's not necessary...

Thanks

There's one in Surat town and also in Songkhla town.

My then GF, now wife, got her Thai passport without leaving Hatyai about 3 years ago...let me know if you want the details and I'll ask her. From memory, it was all done by post.

The U.S. Embassy will make satellite rounds.. that might be a good start..

The OP is asking about obtaining a Thai passport. Where does the US come into this ?

I don't know about Surat, but I know it can be done in Songkhla. Both my step-kids and wife get their passports there.

Surat passport office is located here:

9°08'02.66" N 99°18'58.98" E

Surat passport office is located here:

9°08'02.66" N 99°18'58.98" E

I suppose the important thing is the OP now knows there is one in Surat.

From your directions....is it the building with the som tam cart outside or the one across the road with the bbq chicken?
