Embassies of Bangkok

@Klaus Good question!! Gives me a chance to see different parts of Bangkok, and just curiosity about them, and a chance to spy on people in the embassy if possible. (just joking on that last part!!!!!)

Kind of funny. It was Sunday, so I knew they would be closed but did my usual "act like I belong" as I walked past the guard desk. However, when I took the lift back down, there were two guards at the lift door asking me what I was doing. I explained that I thought the embassy may be open because it was an Arab country and they used different days of the week.

Below is Canada

Again, it was a Sunday, so could not get up to the actual embassy. Not sure if I count this an official visit or not. LOL

Below is Bulgaria

This is an honorary embassey/consulate and is actually run out of a company office. I walked into the lobby and wanted to go to visit, and just at that moment, when I was talking to the guard, the honorary consul walked in the lobby!! The guard called her over and she was very nice and just talked to me in the lobby and I did not have an excuse to go up to the office. LOL

They were quite nice and friendly there. They saw me standing out in the hall and invited me in so I had to make up some questions as to why I was there. LOL

Interesting pics, TG! Would be cool to have an honorary embassy in my house. I guess it doesn't enjoy the diplomatic immunity of a real embassy though.

@Horace Great minds think alike. I have thought the same thing. Find some obscure country and offer to be their consul. LOL

I got to know, in a professional and over time, social capacity, the local Honorary Consul for a European country which is now a EU member state. At that time it was not an EU member. The position has few perks, minimal prestige and actually incurs a lot of unanticipated out of pocket costs in the faint hope of a meagre commission or finder’s fee on some small business transaction. Any big commercial deal has agents fully engaged and embedded well in advance of any negotiations. Not worth it. No thanks.

Embassy of Spain

They were quite nice to talk with me in there.

Embassy of Chile

Office Tower of Spain and Chile Embassy

Honorary Consulate of Burkina Faso. I was not able to get into the building on the day I was there

Consulate of Syria. I believe the main embassy for this area is in Beijing. I am 99% sure this the correct location, but they obviously look like they went out of business. LOL

I have never heard of Burkina Faso. So I googled it. The country is beautiful.
