Just got back from a holiday in Siam Reap and I either lost my passport on the bus to the bts or getting off the bus.

I need to fly the 18th to phistsanulok(sp?) And it's not really something I can cancel. If I can't get one in time I'll have to take the crazy long bus ride there and back.

How quickly can I get a new US passport and do they offer express service.

Get a police report then go to the embassy. You may have to make an on line appointment. Normal service for a US passport is 2 weeks. I got my new passport in 7 days. When you pick up the passport you will get a letter from the embassy to take to immigration. Go to immigration and get this done as you need an entry stamp. As for any travel inside Thailand, I would not go any where without the pp. No express service and cost of a new pp is 110 USD, they do take baht and plastic.

Here's the passport page: http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/passports.html

Not sure if you can get a "regular" passport right now because of the computer glitch, if not, then you will be able to get an "emergency" passport which is still good for travel. Should take about 3-5 days, they'll EMS it to you, or you can stop by to pick it up.

Please let us know how it goes.

FYI, an appointment is mandatory: http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/acsappointment.html

Info for the getting the new passport is here: http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/passports.html

Do you have a copy of your passport? That will help in getting the replacement.

And don't lose it again as the US will not issue you another 10 year passport for some time.

Good advice above about reporting the passport lost and obtaining a new one. That should be your first priority. However, it is possible to fly domestically without showing a passport. You can show a Thai drivers license instead.
