Ubon Ratchathani City Hall - Opening Times?

[mattk1]

Hey everyone,

I live in Khon Kaen and am trying to get hold of the City Hall in Ubon Ratchathani as I need to take some documents there to be legalized and I want to double check they can do it for me (only just found this out, no need to go to the MFA in Bangkok as apparently documents can be legalized in Ubon, Chiang Mai and Songkhla :-) )

I have a telephone number for the City Hall in Ubon as Tel.: 045-344581-2 but I was trying all afternoon and got no answer. I don't want to make the 4 hour trip only to find they are not open, or can not do what I need :-/

Any one in the local Ubon area able to verify opening times and document legalization stamps issuing?

Cheers in advance everyone :-)

Have only been there once when I moved to Ubon a few months ago, but 95% sure it opened at 8:30 when we were there.

Hey asiannomad,

Thanks for your reply

How about finding the place, is it fairly east to locate? Cheers

If you're looking for actual city hall, "Tesaban", then it's a little east of the city park, Tung See Muang, on the road of the post office between the park & post office. If you need the "Ampur" (district office) then it's about the same distance a little west of the city park. If you need the provincial office, then it's a couple kilometers outside of the ring road on the road that goes to Yasoton. Cheers,

From KK I would think Bangkok would be closer, or at least an easier destination. If you book well enough ahead you can get a pretty cheap flight.

The number you posted is the same one shown for the passport office.

I can recall a post by a member that tried to get some legalized and was informed they do not do it at the office here.

Info for Bangkok is here in Thai. http://www.consular.go.th/main/th/services/1518 (same page shows the office for Ubon also)

Hey everyone thanks for the replies, much appreciated :-)

We made the trip to Ubon and found the City Hall no problems and they were also able to legalize our documents in an hour after we paid 400 Baht per document for the express service (the stamp states "Seen at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs").

The legalization office is the room next door to the passport office (as mentioned by ubonjoe), and there was only one person in front of us.. happy days!

Hopefully this thread will be of use to someone else in future.

Cheers everyone, and have a good day :-)
