Another successful Outreach in Udon. 118 people were served. A big thanks to the 3 ACS staff who came to Udon. Very efficient service. The majority of people came early. By 10:30 the majority had left. Between 11 and 12 they were only a few walk-ins.

"•Notarial Services and Certified Copies ($50.00 or Baht 1,650.00). This includes income affidavits for retirees in Thailand. "

so should this read "This includes, but is not limited to, income affidavits...." ???

As in, they can certify other copied documents???

I assume so, but my drill instructor taught me about "assuming" things.

I have taken a taxis to the Centara for this event in the past. This year I would like to drive my car. Can anyone tell me where to park. I think it is too early for the mall parking, so should I park in the hotel parking garage or the outside lot adjacent to the hotel where the motorbikes are parked. Thank you in advance.

Looking from the front of the hotel you have the entrance to the hotel underground car park then a side soi then a fairly large car park on the right parked there quite a few times even ok at night.

Thank you. I was thinking of parking in the open lot but I always worry about getting blocked in as drivers do not seem to care about blocking cars or trucks, which has happened to me at Big C and the airport. Albeit, they do leave the vehicles in neutral and expect an old man like me just to push them out of the way.

Another tip-of-the-hat to the ACS folks who come to visit the area a few times a year.....thus saving at least a hundred people a trip to Bangkok each time they visit. I went to Khonkaen today......got there at 10:30, #96 on the list of people who visited. I was done in 30 minutes.
ไก่ย่างวรรณา (gai yang Wan Na in KaoSuanKwang) a must stop on the way in to Khonkaen for chicken, pork lahb, and somtom......then another must stop on the way home to pick up several bags of vacuum packed grilled chicken. Pop them into the oven for 15 minutes and they taste as if they just came off the grill.

A reminder...as posted already: The American Embassy will NO LONGER ACCEPT CASH at outreach events beginning October 2016. Customers must purchase a bank draft from either Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn Bank, or SCB, made out to American Embassy Bangkok, in the exact amount of Thai baht for total services.

I've a feeling there will be some screaming and gnashing of teeth but people who aren't aware come Oct 1st!
