Thai passport one day

[nkped 1,208]

A Thai, at least one, who has an expired passport, can get a new one the same day in Bangkok.  As best I can determine this was at the Klong Toei office and the applicant probably needs to be there first thing in the morning.  This is second hand, but I saw the new passport.  To make things more interesting, she lost her queue card and fee receipt after turning in the application.  They found her in the computer although my impression is they weren't in a rush to do so.

Kind of. 

For 2000 baht they send it to Bangkok, fast track it and you can pick it up from the Bangkok office the next morning or for 200 baht more they will return it to the Avenue office and you can pick it up in the afternoon.

and a few hours later passport in hand done. I should have known to easy. will find out

in 2 weeks and see if they chip the new one. still one day and not enjoy bkk traffic sounds worth it.

I know that used to be the case when that place first opened, I suspect it is now rather busy. You can see people waiting outside during the day.
