I am in Phuket awaiting my visa issuance numbers. I would prefer to avoid going back to Bangkok unless I have to... I also wonder how long it takes once I present the paperwork?

My flight back to Korea is August 16th at 7AM, if the numbers don't reach me until tomorrow or the next day will I be OK?

This waiting game is a little bit of a pain, keeping my room booked and all without paying for days I may not use.

When I got my visa in Bangkok it was an overnight affair, so you should have plenty of time since your flight doesn't leave until the 16th. The embassy in Bangkok is picky though, about when you can go in for visa issues, so check with them beforehand (if I remember right, you had to drop off visa apps between 1 & 3). The location is also a little out of the way, about a one hour taxi ride from Khao San Rd. (where I was staying at the time), and not particularly close to anyplace else you're particularly likely to want to be in Bangkok.

Yeah
Im in Bangkok at the mow going through the whole visa thing. You can get the blue line tube from Siam up to Thailand Culture Centre stop. Then get a cab from there its only five mins and cost you a way lot less. Im still waiting for a shool ar agent to give me a contract. Accepted five so far but all of them have fallen through. On my way to Busan.
