I honestly havent read anything about Thailand pass. That would be great if it happend, but I don't understand how they would be able to manage that. Embassies have a hard enough time processing COEs for people in their country, now 1 office in Thailand will process all COEs for the whole world?

It is not going through Embassies for Thaipass though is it? I thought it was being centralised. Embassies will not have capacity???
