NO idea what ur talking about Passport issued thru Bangkok Bank???

only thing u need is a Bank check issued thru a bank to pay for sending ur passport to you , otherwise its all handled by the US embassy

and as he is in the states WHY bother replying?
Richard *********
in the US u can pay for expedited serivce. Other wise its 2-4 months

carry both passports

on arrival in Bangkok ( or anywhere ) immigration will transfer relevant stamps over to new passport and stamp u in on new one

My 10 bahts worth:

I'd say 95% of people that enter there, come back in less than a few hours as onward overland travel is banned for now and even before it was long bus rides after they stopped the boats travelling north.

or you fly

I was lucky and did boats all the way down ( 2 days from Dawei )in dec 2015

Ranong is very good about that< if they wont let ya back in, they wont let you leave>

OP has some serious bad luck or a lot of visa exempt entries/tourists visas to be told this > Usually they are very lenient there
