Per the page at http://www.traveldocs.com/th/embassy.htm<http://www.traveldocs.com/th/embassy.htm> , the Thai Embassy is in Washington, DC. They have Consulate offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. I, too, am curious as to why they want a Viking 1. I have one, on the air, with a pair of 807's in the final. Jim, W8KGI
