yeah, whatever. Am just sharing my own level of knowledge with the guy who asked for our take on things that’s all. I don’t really need your input on that thanks. If ya can’t help people in life, don’t hinder ‘em. That’s always been my philosophy as a long term expat

Ian *********

As reported in BKK Post, yes. 5 Provinces including BKK to ‘open’ in October and November. I’ve also had that from an official contact. However, it remains to be seen what the definition of ‘open’ is. Perhaps a sandbox model with restrictions. Who knows?

Not hard mate. Contact VFS at the Trendy Building on Suk Soi 13 to make an appointment. Take all relevant info (and more) including your Police Report. You should have a new passport within a couple of weeks.
