I know that I will have to go to Ubon. I just want to ensure I have all the documents first. If I need the passport to be certified that will mean a trip into Bangkok to the embassy and dept of consular first.
The slight problem I have is that the Amphur is not answering the phone or emails and I need to do it at an Amphur that is a 9 hour drive away in Ubon Ratchatani.
I think the thai authorities are clamping down on that now (i have only heard this anecdotally), but I am no expert, so I was just reminding Vini of the law.
