Not part of the embassy, but this was swimming in the canal next to the entrance. It is a big lizard, but they are not dangerous. LOL

A contrast tale of two embassies
First the USA
I posted this before, but the green space is PART of the US embassy grounds, located in prime real estate in the center of BKK.
Front Entrance To the Embassy
Connected to the embassy but the next entrance over is the Ambassador residenceNow, we go the Embassy of Kazakhstan
-
Embassy of Philippines. They have quite a large embassy and grounds on some central real estate on Sukhumvit Road (which is the main road in the city). But, Philippines are close and there are a quite a few foreign (Philippine) workers from there in Thailand.

Norway Embassy

A few more.
The embassies of Argentina and Peru are right across the hall from each other in the building in the picture below.
Argentina
Peru
When you step out of the elevator, there is this "foyer" with Argentina on one side and Peru on the other.
Republic of Cuba. The embassy was on the third floor of this building, but I was not able to get inside to see it. Hard to see, but it is the Cuban flag outside the building.
Republic of Georgia (but probably not. I was looking that this was an honorary consulate for Republic of Georgia, but I couldn't find anything that said for sure that this is it. So I dont think so.)

A few more
Honorary consul of Albania. I think it is just some guys house.
Below is the Embassy of Iran
It was funny. These were taken on a weekday and there absolutely no sign of any acitivy. It was a very dead embassy. I went to the front gate, but there was no one there so I couldn't ask any question.
Honoray consul of Uzbeckistan -

There is something written on that Tower sign in what certainly is Georgian script but what it means I don’t know. I’ve looked up the words republic, Georgia, embassy, and honorary consul. The latter looks closest but not identical:

Thanks! I just kind of look on the internet for the embassies/consulates and it sent me here for the Republic of Georgia. I went to the front desk to ask, but between my relatively poor Thai language skills and their non-existent skills in a language other than Thai, we really were not able to understand each other. I did try and explain that I was looking for the Republic of Georgia but
-
A few more.
The first is the Republic of Ireland. You actually needed an appointment to go to the actual embassy. I did not have one, so figured this picture of the reception desk would have to be good enough.
Embassy of Vietnam. Kind of a funny story. I was looking around outside, and the "guard" pops out. (Door on the first picture.) I think he thought I was confused on where to go, so he insisted on escorting me into the office. I felt bad, so allowed him to do so, and then sat in the office for about 5 minutes so he would think I actually did something, and then left. LOL
Sweden Embassy. Shhhhhh, but I was not supposed to take a picture here. They had signs indicated "no pictures"!!!, but I secretly took one.
Hungary Embassy

For the following, the next two embassies are located in the office block shown below
Embassey of Greece
Embassey of Kuwait (it is a holiday weekend in Thailand and the embassey was closed. When I stepped off the elevator, some guy (I think he was Kuwaiti and not Thai jumped up from his guard station and very rudely told me the place was closed. Certainly did not seem happy to see me! LOL So, i was kind of afraid to take a picture and waited until the elevator door was closing and then took a quick one. 555)
Embassey of Singapore. Pretty big free standing location, but they are a close neighbor and also part of ASEAN.
The last one is not an embassey, but was kind of 'funny' for me. It is the India-Thai Chamber of Commerce. So, here is the country with the largest population in the world and a pretty big trading and labor partner. And there association is located in kind of dingy building above a 7-11

And here I thought “Indian working in a 7-Eleven” is a stereotype just in the USA.

Czech Republic
Union of Myanmar
Holy See (they actually have a pretty big piece of land. Kind of surprising as I wouldnt think they were that busy. LOL Thailand is only about 5% Christian I think.
For the third pic, waited until the delivery truck was called inside so I could be nosey and try and see inside. LOL)
-
The above two are the building where is the Slovakia Embassy. I was unable to get up to the floor as it was the weekend. I usually pretend like I know where I am going and just walk past the guard station, but this time I was stopped. LOL
German Embassy
Denmark Embassy
-
Japan Embassy
Japan Ambassador Residence. Slightly different location from embassy.
-
The Belarus and Nicragua honorary consulates. Both are at the same address, so i think that the same person does both.
France Embassy
The above three pictures are of the Portugal Embassy. The first two are the "front" of the embassy. For the third picture, I happened to be at a shopping mall on the other side of the river and noticed I could see the Portugal Embassy so took a picture of the "back" side.
