As stated his mum will not help .. he did have thai passport and birth certificate as well.. but are long gone . I want to do everything as a british citizen ...not Thai if possible. Visa company said they can get his UK birth certificate stamped if I want to . but is it realy necessary ?

ELVIAJERO.. Are you saying once I"ve got my 1 year retirement visa ... I can do something else (Extension of stay)  for him that piggybacks mine very easily ? Excuse the ignorance ... what exactly is it and how do I go about it .

If you do not have a cop of his birth certificate then you can always go to the area he was born in and apply for a replacement Then applying for his Thai passport is  a snap

Should not be a problem However coming in a British Passport I would get him a Visa until you sort out the rest

Unfortunately in Thailand justice is not available by the police.  Vigilante law makes for a precarious society.  But I wonder, in America, had this happened, what the outcome would be legally.  It does help me be convinced that the man had been talking about doing this for some time.  This is a tough one, like the other story about the Australian that was raped by a motorcycle taxi driver allegedly.  In that case too, the alleged rapist had a history of rapy behavior.  Jesus, guys, this is Thailand where even *I* can find a girflriend, is it that hard?  

If this had happened in America she would not be charged

Now if she was from Australia or white, posters would be saying. ...

How stupid of her to be in the field working by herself. 

Why does she let herself be pretty. 

She probably flirted with him. 

What was she wearing? 

She shouldn't be in the field in the early hours of the morning and so on. 

The way some people talk about a white female being raped and a dark skinned person being raped is really shocking. 

Always blame the woman Common people grow up

Its sounds clearly self defense  I know farmers and working in the field alone is common as 99.99 % of the time they are safe

I hope she is not charged with anything She has a right to defend herself

About to renew mine, curious too. My photos are 2x1.5 instead of 2x2--totally spaced out on the requirement--will they accept the photos?


Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect

They will reject it It must be  the dimensions they request Its not expensive Go do it again and tell the person the size you need

No need to worry It takes normally 2 to 3 weeks I renewed mine the beginning of the year Having said that 

I did pick mine up at the embassy  I don't like the mails Too Ify 

I am not a doctor but I truly believe it is not sugar  but a diet high in cholesterol and Salt . Sugar does not block arteries and cause clots We all know how a diet high in

fats and salt are poison to the body

For some reason the Thais have not been educated in this Wonder Why 

How many times must it be said that drinking and driving do not mix. Even if you are moving the car just to "PARK".

If you have more than one bear or glass of wine then take a taxi 

No excuse Taxis by western standards are cheap here in Thailand And if a Taxi is not available a Tuk Tuk or cycle taxi will do 

But for god sake dont drink and drive ITS THAT SIMPLE

From what I have read about this The woman had insurance but was not aware it did not cover pregnancies To be honest I have traveled with my wife with travel health insurance but truly never bothered to look if pregnancy was covered  .

After reading this you can be sure I will read the fine print more closely to make sure it is covered  under her policy 

As some posters have said It is Illegal for someone or an entity  to retain your passport For the record Don't give anyone your passport PERIOD 

According to Thai law everything gained during a marriage in Thailand has to be split 50/50 So a title is not the issue 

Its 50 50 yours and hers

Take the wife  to court and settle it there  Dont listen to her dribble from the mouth

Black listing is not easy You either have to have overstayed a visa for a lot of time or committed a crime and they do not want you back in the country.

Your boyfriend and Thai girl would not have been able to do anything to you  with regard to black listing

Just a bunch of bull

I have lived here for more than 15 years 

Not be a worry wart

Something just occurred to me .

Why didnt she just change the date of her flight on her return ticket?

 

She must have had a restricted ticket  where you cannot change dates  and if not used  then it expires

She said they would not honor her ticket when she went to the airport at a different departure date 

Of course She thinks there is a conspiracy and the airlines are in on it  Give me a break

This is a bogus story or little of any truth to it 

You know I respect people who don't like black cats and I don't criticizes people who do not walk under ladders .

But my jaw is almost touching the desk 

What else can I say

Sorry your post is completely nonsensical, how do you come to the conclusion that I am a dog hater? what am I arguing or speculating about? I stated a fact - good restaurants do not allow dogs based on hygiene........its really that simple. Yes I concede that the majority of pet dogs are probably clean but it's the minority that the restaurant has to guard against. As for the EU regulation this states that dogs are not allowed in to any area where food is prepared...........

 

The legislation, which makes the provisions relating to dogs in food premises is contained in Regulations (EC) No 852/2004, Annex II, Chapter IX – Provisions applicable to foodstuffs (4) as below:

Adequate procedures are to be in place to control pests. Adequate procedures are also to be in place to prevent domestic animals from having access to places where food is prepared, handled or stored (or, where the competent authority so permits in special cases, to prevent such access from resulting in contamination).

Nuff said on this subject now.

Yes I agree where food is prepared Its called a kitchen  and dogs are not allowed in those areas It does not prohibit them from going into the dinning area

where people sit 

Anyways I have a dog who lives with my wife and I and he can eat off my plate any day . He is cleaner then some people I know

    The Tourist Police is a different department, should she really be worried that cops did that to her. 

 

         It does smell fishy, right. 

Not everyone who has an event here in Thailand is lying but there are a few every year that make weird accusations  and you know there is something missing in their 

statements. Maybe she is not lying but on the face of it It does smell fishy Sure maybe  there is something to it but the police are not going to cover something like this up 

Its in the tourist industry the one industry in Thailand that is monumentally important to then So any scum from it they will want to clean out 

If true she would have been safe going to the police

I have been to Europe...............very nice it was too.

Some of the countries visited were; Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, UK, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands and Austria, none of which allow dogs or any pets for that matter (except guide dogs) into indoor restaurants. The simple reason for this rule is "Hygiene" and it has got nothing to do with whether Bruno has brushed, gargled and flossed his mouth twice a day since conception. Dogs are covered in a fur coat which is a natural habitat for all kinds of bacteria and undesirable little insects etc.

As for France and Spain not sure what kind of restaurants you're referring to but I suspect it is the greasy Joe type cafes and not proper respectable restaurants.

Speculation is not fact my friend I have witnessed dogs in good restaurants and bistros in both countries. It seems your just a dog hater Sure soi dogs are not very clean .

Strange what you say If that was the case then  120 million people in the United States would become deathly ill since they are in contact with their dogs on a daily bases as the dog hovers around the Kitchen  while someone cooks or is under the table waiting for morsels while they eat .

Your argument is not based on fact rather is based on a knee jerk reaction to your emotions about dogs.

Please get your facts straight before you make a comment I want facts not emotion If those four legged creates where as dirty as you say  then people would not have them as pets 

Its that simple

There's the Tourist Police, 1155 even toll-free.

   

 

        

Your questioning her validity as well Who is to say maybe a guy she met beat her up and she does not want to report it This is a fishy story 

Canad the United States Britain and other European countries have casinos that are fun to the benefit of the people. Most in those countries are void of 

the mafia in the 21st century It is a corporate world now .

If run correctly casinos in Thailand would be a windfall for the people 

Set up a ministry  for this purpose  to oversea it 

If they can run casinos in China then its time to have them here as well

Casinos will attract monied people

Not being a fan of filthy dangerous animals does not mean I hate them, I don't eat them either

 

Fatal dog attacks in the United States are a small percentage of the relatively common occurrences of dog bites. At least 4.5 – 4.7 million Americans are bitten by dogs every year, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 20 to 30 of these bites result in death.^[1][2]

 

Number of deaths from the Influenza  from the CDC on a yearly bases is  4,605 in the USA  And people catch the Flue from other people  20 to 30 people die from dog bits is a non statistic 

Get real You just do not like dogs

If the kids have not been killed by one of these filthy beasts first of course.

 

 

Your just a dog hater That's all People are more filthy than some dogs so get over it 

I have a house dog Never goes out gets baths regularly has his shots all the time when needed 

This is not a dog with a health threat to humans Here is a quote for Web MD

"Dogs and the health benefits for children. Not only do children who grow up with pets have less risk of allergies and asthma, many also learn responsibility, compassion, and empathy from having a dog or cat. Unlike parents or teachers, pets are never critical and don't give orders. "

You're damn straight I have not been to Europe -- All I read was this:

"Don't leave Fido in the hotel room when it's time for dinner. A dog's gotta eat too! And no matter where you're headed, we can point you towards a great sidewalk cafe, brew pub, coffee shop, or other eatery in Europe that will welcome Fido to join you at an outdoor table. Bone appetit! "

https://www.bringfido.com/restaurant/region/europe/

 

If I ever did find myself in Europe even California for that, I certainly would not go to any restaurant that allowed a dog inside of the restaurant or even outdoors for that matter.

Then you have a problem and will starve in Europe my friend for not eating in restaurants 

The food labels here in Thailand are a true joke Salt is listed in grams on total volume How the hell can someone figure out 

how much salt is in a product they would like to eat

This has to change so people can truly figure out salt content Wonder if CP will support the change
