- Upon request and against payment of costs, we will be happy to have a photo certificate or a certificate of the condition and authenticity of the P.A.T., Bangkok created. Please note that the creation of a certificate via P.A.T., Bangkok can take up to 3 months. But that's not because of us, but because the certification Committee of the P.A.T. only meets every 3 months.
