H.E. Dr. Suriya Chindawongse, Ambassador of Thailand to the United States, together with Ms. Chuliepote Isarankura Na Ayudhaya, Minister, inspected the mobile consular services organized from 20–22 February 2026 at Wat Buddharangsi in Miami, Florida, with the aim of providing consular services to Thai nationals residing in Florida and nearby states. Services included passport applications, Thai national ID card renewals, interviews and applications for Thai birth and death certificates, as well as other consular assistance such as document legalization and powers of attorney.

The discussions with the members of Thai community focused on their well-being, daily life, and areas where they would like support from the Embassy and relevant Thai agencies.

The Embassy received kind support in providing the venue from Abbot of Wat Buddharangsi, as well as strong cooperation from Ms. Phonethip “Tai” Vaz, the President of Thai American Association of Florida and local volunteers who assisted with venue preparation and facilitation for both officials and service recipients.
