Are you sure those dates are correct? They are all Fridays on a 2007 calendar, however this being 2008 those dates are all Sundays. Somethings not right.

For most of the expat Americans I know living in Pattaya, a representative of Uncle Sam is about the last person they'd care to see.

GB ..GayButton of Gay Thailand Forum called the US Embassy...
there are NO scheduled US Consular Services visits
scheduled for Pattaya or Phuket in May 2008..

GB said:

I called the US Embassy this morning (May 21st).
I reached someone in American Citizens Services
and explained what is on their web site.

He said, yes, there definitely must be some mistake because the embassy
doesn't even have a consular visit scheduled for Pattaya at all in May.
He asked for the URL of that announcement, which I qave him, and he put me on hold.

When he came back he said, "Sir, I don't know how you got that URL,
but what you are looking at is our announcement for May, 2007, not May 2008."

He gave me the URL for the latest correct announcement, which is:

http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/embassy/ww ... -2008.html (http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/embassy/wwc/r...may-9-2008.html)

So, the announcement above would be just fine if you enter
a time machine and go back a year.

Just so nobody is confused, there is no consular visit in either
Pattaya or Phuket this month, and the Udon Thani visit has already come and gone.
The posted announcement is incorrect.

Thanks GB for the good followup...

I heard from Pattaya's American Warden that there will be no more provincial visits from American Citizen Services this (fiscal?) year because their budget has been spent.
