When you make your appointment, you are assigned a number. That number didn’t seem to matter at all. Show up early on the day of your appointment. Bring a Sun Umbrella. You leave everything (including your passport) with the Embassy. Once they review your application and take your money, you are given a slip with a date and time to return to pick up your visa. If you drop stuff off on a Monday, pick-up is Wednesday. Drop off Tuesday, pick up Thursday. This is the cooking school I chose. www.bangkokthaicookingacademy.com
