Its easy, and its all digital these days. Cost 1080 baht or something like that. We do however not have a permanent office in Phuket, so Thais here have to go to Bkk to apply for one. But once or twice a year they come here (Passport division) for a week or so., have been at Central Festival the last years.

two offices in Bangkok, at Laksee (near don Muang) and at Bang Na (end of sukhumvit and then some.

Just go in, fill in the forms and collect about 2 weeks later.

My staff regularkly get sent overseas so they have to get passports.

Expencive, but someone has to pay for the free visa thaigirls in the Schengen area get when they want to go holiday to England

My mate got one for his Thai daughter last week.He said it was the most efficient Thai office he has ever been to.It took less than 2 hours to get from walking in the doors.

Took me less than 10 minutes to get a 5 year driving license last week. The modern thailand is wonderful, shame we've just got the same dirty old politicians back.
