Obtaining Yellow Book

[Super Joe]

The questions been asked a lot so thought I'd post this:

Spoke to friend the other day and he wanted one and asked at Soi 102 Immigration and they offer a complete service, ie: they go to your embassy and then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok for you (or post/fax!?) for 18,000 Baht.
He thought he'd do it himself and tied it in with a planned trip to Bangkok. He said it was fairly straight forward, no hassles or blank looks, Embassy has to certify your passport and they have to translate in Thai and English, then went to Ministry of Foreign Affairs next day and they told him to come back to collect next day. So it was a 2 night stay, he's not sure if can be speeded up to 1 night stay if getting there first thing etc.
Total cost, excluding travel and hotels as was going anyway, was 4,000 Baht for all the associated paperwork.

I know this isn't a procedures post but confirms easy to do yourself and max. cost. HH Immigration gave him the procedures paperwork.

Thanks for the info chap but I will stick with the blue ones at 20bt . Plus a bottle of JWB for the PYB of course as a thank you .

4k is dirt cheap for all the translations etc .Certified anything from the embassy is normally around that per document in my experience .

No facts but when the g/f inquired at the tessabahn they said that they could do it here in Hua Hin.
