Hi

 

Do you have the details of the company you used to do this with in the UK please? 

 

Thanks in advance. 

Hagueapostille.co.uk 

  I think they are based in coventry but it was all handled by post

Ive just had my uk degree copied then notarised by a solicitor, stamped by the uk foreign office and stamped by the thai embassy in london. This is what i had been told was necessary.  I used a uk based company to handle all the processes,  you post your original degree to them and it came back 2 weeks later all complete.  Total cost £141.plus postage.

i,ve sent a few packages, always through post office and never shown id.

i have just taken the bus from sida, which is about 1hour south of khon kaen, to bangkok and although it took at different route it just added 1 hour to the journey.

Just get one of them airport taxis from pattaya and redirect him to stadium, i think they advertise 800 baht to airport so should take you to stadium for less than a thousand.

Used to be one down by Gate F / G in departures opposite side from the Burger King / Pizza Hut.

i think that bar just shows dvds of old games and mr bean.

what airline are you flying with?, if you dont have frequent flyer access to there lounge you may be able to pay in, you can with etihad, 1000 baht, but all you can eat(snacks) and drink inc, have tv,s, newspapers, sofas etc. apart from that you have shit out i think.

if you have time, get a freedom pre paid credit card, you load it with sterling before you travel and use it in atms anywhere, they somehow give a better exchange rate than normal banks or booths, current rate at time of posting this is 49.44.

they then charge 99p per visit and 150 baht at the booth.

Have some spare cash in safe 10,000 or so and the rest stashed, if they make you open the safe they might walk away with that thinking they have your lot.

How much money would you take if you where going with her? think about that then just give her half.

pratunam market in bangkok, open all day till about 9.30ish, also plenty of shipping companys in the area.

Your wifes visa will probably have been stamped "no recourse to public funds" that also means that as a visitor she is not entitled to free NHS treatment.

She can get emergency A&E treatment but anything further would have to be paid for, have a gander through this website, it might help http://www.dh.gov.uk...sable/DH_074379

No doubt she took out travel insurance, would this cover her if it's not routine?

Travel insurance never covers pregnancy

You could argue it WAS an accident (condom broke...)

I use a pre-paid credit card ( escape but there are many different types) i paid £5.00 for the card which my wife holds and i can load it with cash online anywhere in the world. ideal for small amounts. its free to load with cash but they charge £2.00 every time the card is used at an atm, also the thai bank charge 150 baht. can draw £300 a day max and card account can have a maximum £3000 in it.

outside the tesco on highway 2 khon kaen

I rent a 2 bed bungalow in bua yai approx 100 sq m for 3000 a month

hi, you need your birth certificate, i then used an agency to sort all my paperwork, translations etc. if you have a lot of time on your hands then you can do without but i have heard stories of paperwork not filled correctly 3-4 visits back to the embassy etc. the agency also took us to a local amphur to register there straight after the embassy. cost, 10,000 baht all in

neilo

you will want to be careful, if you bring anything of significant value, you will be racketted by customs.

Well in the OP's position I would buy as many cigarettes as I could stuff in my luggage and chance it at customs....worst case scenario is they get confiscated.....chances are you can turn at least 100% profit.

Bit of a risk....depends on your poker face.....

I used to work as groundcrew at a UK airport and it was not unknown for a foreign country to tip UK customs off when they spotted a suitcase full of cigarettes.

Not a good idea!

How much are packages of 100x 500mg paracetamol pills sold in the UK? (90 baht at boots)

Pennies in tesco

Flipper house, soi 7, 1000 baht, 2 swiming pools, room service etc. as good as it gets.

i am planning on travelling by car from korat to hua hin tommorrow(18th april) and was wondering wot to expect on the roads, i went from suvarnabhoum to korat on the 10th and that was murder!
