Traveling U.S. Embassy Consular services

[hhfarang]

It seems the the U.S. Embassy sends a representative(s) around to different areas in Thailand throughout the year so that if the timing is right you can get things done while they are in your area and avoid a trip to the Embassy in Bangkok.

Here's the info from their web page. They will be in Hua Hin in March (and over in your area Pete in February, June and September).

Notice on the web page that the next visit date is selectable. That's because they don't determine exactly where the venue will be until a couple of weeks before the visit so sometime in March the exact location will be determined and you will be able to find it out then by selecting the Hua Hin line.
