Greetings from Pattaya!

Years ago, Japan kept the original California Department of State Apostille of my University Diploma and I currently only have a copy of the Apostille and the original diploma. The notary branch of the Thai Visa Sevice here in Pattaya informed me that I need to get the copy of my apostille "stamped" (notarized?) at the US Embassy in Bangkok and then bring it back to the notary branch of the Thai consulate here in Pattaya where she can then "stamp" it (notarize?) herself on behalf of the Thai government.

My new employer (set to begin processing my work permit) said she can't use the apostille-copy without a "stamp", because it's not the original apostille.

Question: Will the US Embassy in Bangkok re-apostille my diploma, or will they be doing a more basic notarization of my copy of the original apostille?

Has anyone out there ever had such an experience? Any info or advice would be much apreciated.
