Red cards issued in Phuket, foreigners deported
AhFarangJa replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Every Immigration office is a mini fiefdom for the bosses. They interpret, and instigate the regulations how they wish, with impunity mainly. Break their rules, and pay a 'fine' or leave. The one bad thing I can foresee in Phuket is that if you upset a local, or someone else with influence, it is now a lot easier to get rid of you. -
UK Passport Office workers to strike
AhFarangJa replied to OJAS's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
It is a headache for sure. I live in Surin now, so two trips to Bangkok would cost me about 5,000 Baht in diesel. I used Key visa company in Pattaya, which, as you say cost 5,000 Baht. I was lucky regarding the photos. Went to a Thai photo shop in Prasart. He took my picture in the photo room, then changed the background, etc. on the computer. He certainly knows what he is doing. -
Diesel Price Set to Fall by 0.50 Baht Per Litre

UK Passport Office workers to strike
AhFarangJa replied to OJAS's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Same as Transam, my application took 16 weeks last year. Applied middle of June, received passport middle October. The biggest headache is not being able to track it. Even though VFS give you a reference number it does not work for British passports. -
Yes, but it should be noted when applying for the first licence. Then you can renew it for a 5 year licence as they will be running almost consecutively.
-
Another good tip for you, if it is possible, is to get the licence soon after your birthday. They count the years before expiry based on full years. For example, if your birthday is in September and you get your licence in December, it will not expire until September 2026.

Sort of on topic, re blackouts, You must live near me, because exactly the same happens here at least twice a week. Once a month it is a drunk Somchai taking a power pole out at about 8 at night. -
