To keep the thread on subject i.e. it will be my journey, including mistakes and pitfalls, I will keep it locked, and post it as a sticky so that it can be easily found. Any comments/help should be posted on the existing Yellow Book thread viewtopic.php?f=9&t=30544 .

• Visited Hua Hin Tessebahn to make initial enquiries. This is what I was told:
o Make a photocopy of my passport details page.
o Have the page officially translated – I used Sirada (cost 450 Baht).
o Provide details of parents, and where they lived. Tessebahn provided the correct format.
o Have parents details officially translated – I used Sirada (cost 200 Baht).
• Next stage will be to take passport, photocopy and Thai translation to British Embassy to have everything confirmed as correct. Appointment to attend British Embassy has been arranged online for next week (cost will be £25 I think/hope, but could technically be double – original + translation). I need to provide proof of identity and proof of where I live.
• When British Embassy have confirmed everything, we have to take those papers together with details of parents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to have everything confirmed as correct.
• Final stage should be to take everything back to the Tessebahn, where they say they will issue my Yellow Book and ID Card.
I will update further as I progress. It doesn’t sound too difficult yet, but attending 2 Bangkok Institutions does sound a little bit daunting.
