I was suppose to have an appointment today with the Department of Consular Affairs, Chaeng Watthana office. Do I wait for them to call me to reschedule? Or just show up on the 30th and hope they give me an appointment. My fiance and I flew from Udon for this appointment and I have to fly back to the USA next week.
Answer summary
The user had a scheduled appointment at the Department of Consular Affairs in Chaeng Watthana but is uncertain whether to wait for a reschedule or show up on the 30th. Comments suggest that while Same Day Express Thai Passports are still being issued despite other services being closed due to flooding, the necessity of re-contacting the office is emphasized, especially since the user is on a tight schedule.

Also, was this for a Same Day Express Thai Passport?? as only at Chaeng Wattana ( DCA HQ ) will they issue Same Day Express Thai Passports for all Thai Passport Offices across Thailand, and Same Day Express Thai Passports are still be issued (operating) even though everything else is closed for the Flooding Special Public Holiday

But, if it was for most Document Legalisations, the Udon Thani Passport Office should be able to issue most/many document Legalisations

Thailand DCA (Department of Consular Affairs) HQ at Chaeng Wattana should contact you to Reschedule your Appointment, but you can still call them since you are in Bangkok for a limited time, specifically for your original Appointment at DCA Chaeng Wattana
