The closure of the country's main passport service centre by anti-government protesters at the Government Complex has caused long queues of passport applicants at the remaining two centres in Bangkok. People are arriving at the CentralPlaza Bangna centre at night to ensure a place in the line the next morning. To make matters worse, the Government Complex closure means the main computer system is down, forcing officials to work at a much slower pace. Video by Jetjaras Na Ranong and Nattawat Watanasuwan.
