Embassies of Bangkok

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

Some more
Consul General of Papua New Guinea. It is located as part of a company office. They were quite nice in there to me. Gave me all kinds of tourism information on the country.
Building where the Consul General is located.
Embassy of India. Doing a lot of road construction on the road in front of the embassy.
Embassy of Sri Lanka. Also quite nice to me. Met a Sri Lanka guy there who was working in Thailand who needed to talk to the embassy. He liked to talk and told me a lot about the country. LOL
Building where Sri Lanka embassy is located. Also in the same building is Embassy of Israel. But there was ALOT of security for there, and I was kind of afraid to make up story to try to get to the Israel embassy. So, I kind of chicken out to go there. 555

Embassy of Pakistan
The above two are the street in front of the Pakistan Embassy
Hallway leading to the Consulate of Cyprus
If you look closely, you can see them listed. It appears to be just a "co-work" space so dont really know how active or available they are. I am guess it is a honorary consulate.
Building where the Cyprus consulate is at.
Above is the building with the Liberia Consulate. This is also a honorary consul. Building was gated and it was a Sunday, so I could not get inside to "check it out"

People Republic of China
The guards looked pretty mean, so I did not want to take a picture right in front of it, so waited until I was across the street. LOL
Republic of Korea (South Korea) (Below)

Havent updated this in a while. Here are a few more.
Honorary Counsel of Jamaica. This is actually located in a famous eye hospital. When I went up to the floor(s) where the eye hospital was and said that I was here because of the Jamaica consulate, the actual owner of the hospital came out. She was quite nice and told me quite a bit about Jamaica. I am not sure what her contact is with Jamaica. (She is obviously Thai).
The Honorary Counsel of Mali. Located as part of a company. Usually the person is quite happy to see me and ask about the country. The last picture is the building where the council is located.

@Renauda said in Embassies of Bangkok:
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:
საპატიო კონსული
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

I finally found the actual location of the Georgia consulate. I was in the wrong place before.
Here is the place where the consulate is at. It was closed so I was unable to go in there and talk to anybody.
