I spoke to a lady from one of these citizenship applying checking services.

My wife has attended an ESOL course at one of our local colleges and has obtained several certificates from an awarding body named OCN, this is an exam awarding body partnered with Edexcel and AQA.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

In the next few weeks I am going to be applying for British citizenship for my wife. We have all the correct ESOL life skills certificates and other documentation sorted but apparently we need to get a letter from the college that she attended and obtained the ESOL life skill certificates from.

Does anyone know what exactly this letter has to say?

Is there a specific content this letter has to contain or set out?

any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Next summer myself and my wife are going to spend a few days in Chiang Mai then head down to Tak to visit some of her family. My question is, how long will it take to get to Tak from Chiang Mai and which mode of transport is best to use?

Going to Thailand next month and my mind is starting to think about my stomach troubles I have over the last few years. Last year on my trip I stayed clear of the vendors selling food, had no ice and brushed teeth using bottled water. On the whole I did feel alittle bit better but not 100%.

During my trip the worst I felt was probably my 1st week in Thailand, my stomach was terrible. I had the runs and generally feeling un-well

Anyone got any new advice or help to get rid of these problems?

Thanks again

My parents r coming to thailand for a holiday in the Summer and they will be staying in Pattaya for 7 nights. Can anybody recommend some nice bars to take them to for a few drinks, we are all staying at the Pattaya Marriott. No go-go's or anything like that

Thanks everyone

When in Pattaya I normally hire one of those automatic Honda Nouvos. I find them really easy to ride. I dont have a motorcycle license in the Uk or Thailand. I would recommend a place at the top of soi Pattayaland. It is run by a woman and her son, really trustoworthy.

if u were going to go for a few drinks in some nice bars (not go-go's) and u dont have to get a taxi from bar to bar where would u go?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Bringing my parents to Hua Hin in the Summer for a few days. I want to do some tourist things with them but have no idea what Hua Hin has to offer. any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Anyone know any places in Hua Hin that do a good oil massage?

Thanks

Thank you everyone for your replies.

My parents and grandmother will be staying in Bangkok for 6 nights so really looking for 6 really nice restaurants to be able to take them to. My grandmother cannot really walk that far, however we will be able to get a taxi.

If u had 6 nights, where would your top 6 restaurants be? Any cuisine

Thanks

We will be staying in the Landmark. Are there any nice restaurants in this area?

Thanks

I got a couple of suits made from the guy who has a shop just next to the Irish bar Mulligans (Dont think it is called this anymore) on Soi Pattayaland - Fantastic quality - Had them almost 3 years now and still in great condition. When I am in Pattaya in July I am going to get a few more made.

Yes they would try Thai cuisine but not from one of the vendors on the street.

They r in Bangkok for 5 nights and each night I want to take them to a beautiful, highly rated restaurant (Does'nt matter which cuisine)

Thanks

Any cuisine interests me.

Restaurant has to have a wonderful setting, fantastic food, price does'nt bother me.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

My parents r visiting Bangkok with myself and my wife this Summer. I would like to know some really top notch restaurants to go to. We r staying in the Landmark.

Me and my wife tried Vertigo last year so I think that will be a place to go to.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again

Are there many bars and restaurants near the Dusit Thani Hotel?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I thinking of spending a few nights in this hotel in the Summer. Expedia have a superior room for £53per night. I was just wondering if any other board members have stayed in this hotel.

Any information would be much appreciated

Thanks

Hi Scouse,

Thats exactly what I thought.

It says on the information sheet that comes with the application form - Should the applicant wish the Royal Thai Embassy to mail their passports by post, a properly stamped and self-addressed envelope is required.

This says to me that u can mail them.

Does anyone know why the Royal Thai embassy website is down?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

We r just busy completing the application form so my wife can extend her non-biometric passport for the 2 year extension until 2010.

Can this application form be sent off by post or do we need to make an appointment at the Thai Embassy in London?

I thought we could do it by post but she said one of her friends said that we need to make an appointment at the Thai Embasy.

Which is correct?

Thanks

Hi Scouser,

What do u mean "Moved up a notch"?

Thanks again

My wife is currently at college studying an ESOL Level 1 course. She completes this in June this year. Am I right in thinking that if she is successful and gains the certificate, we can then apply for naturalisation (Been here in the Uk for nearly 5 years)

Is Silom area near where they have the big Patpong Market on a nightime?

Many good bars around this area?

Staying a few days on Sukhumvit but might stay on Silom and try some places there afterwards.

Thoughts?
