Passport photos for visa

Post by caller »

Just about to go to extend my visa and I realise I have only one pasport pic of the size needed.

I need another for the TM8.

Can anyone point me to the best place to go for new pics, with car parking nearby.

Many thanks

I've always used the Kodak shop almost opposite Soi 80. However, parking is a bit 'hit and miss'.

If you're going to Immigration anyway, just use the nice lady in the photocopy room - she's good, and not expensive. I try to use her each time I need photos - you know background will be accepted as well.

Soi 74 Kodak shop; never much traffic so parking is not a problem.

I used to go there, but I thought they had gone.

I had it in my mind that she might do them! Im' running a bitt late now, so will probably go in the morning. Still to go to my bank to collect stuff I need from them.

Thanks everyone, still plenty of choices available then.

I forgot to update this thread. There is another option for photo's now, in Bluport.

If at the ground level, you take the escalator down, that is nearest to Fuji restaurant and to the side of Burger King, at the bottom, to your immediate right, as little as a metre away, is a stall that has some IT gear and does photocopying - the first thing you will notice is the photocopier. On a whim, I asked if they do passport photos, and they do, which is understandable considering their proximity to immigration.

Next thing I know, a white screen was pulled down, a stool plonked in front of it, then one of those light umbrellas appeared and finally a screen was held over my head to prevent glare! After I had approved the pic, and within a nano-second, all the gear had been put away again.

I went to collect the docs I needed from my bank whilst the pics were processed, came back, handed over 120 baht, and 15 minutes later I was at the main immigration office extending my visa.
