I have never been charged a fee for them via this rou...

Re: 'How To' - Requirements for visa extensions etc
Having spent years as a senior manager with the UKBA I found this sort of behaviour by a, albeit relatively small, number of unprofessional Thai Immigration staff particularly difficult to swallow. I also found that the inconsistent interpretation of Thai Police Orders, depending on which member of ...

Rubbish disposal or dump/tip in Hua Hin
We're moving home shortly and our "declutter" has resulted in a fair amount of rubbish for disposal, previous experience has shown that the rubbish collectors on our estate wouldn't take it. Wifey has suggested pay a man with a van, but I'm concerned they might take the cash and drop it of...

Re: 'How To' - Requirements for visa extensions etc
My extension of stay expires on 22 April and for the last fifteen years or so I've always renewed in early April to aviod the Sonkgran breaks. We are visiting the UK on the 12th of March and won't be returning until May, so I'll need to obtain a further extension before our departure, to aviod the n...

Re: Renewing a UK passport in Thailand
I’ve just collected my new passport, a little under three weeks since I submitted my application when I was in Bangkok just before Christmas, they advised me that it would take twelve weeks, though it might be a tad quicker. When I transferred my stamps from my previous passport in Bangkok ten years...

Re: Flights to/from Hua Hin Airport & other domestic locations
Air Asia did announce that the resumption of the flights from Hua Hin to KL would start in June this year and even sold tickets, a mate of mine brought a return flight, of course they never got off the ground, and the last I heard he was struggling to get a refund. I flew to KL from BKK last week on...

Bangkok Bank have recently introduced a free service whereby you can request a twelve month statement via their Bualuang i Banking mobile banking App, a properly formatted statement is delivered by email in less than 30 mins.

Re: GBP vs THB
People are asking Boris the same.
Maybe with Macron winning on Sunday the EU is more secure and, by default, the UK isn’t.

Re: Immigration to introduce 90 day reporting online

I got one a couple of weeks ago and then did my online report which was confirmed a couple of days later. Not as quick as the old system, but it's certainly better tha...
