The challenge you will have is first the cost. second where are you escorting him to. As @Sheryl said there is o where for him to go right off the plane. You will get there and be stuck there with him unti something gets sorted and really do you think the UK health system is going to move fast. I think it would seem a better idea to see about getting his passport renewed. This can be done quick if you present all the info but rule out returning to the U.K. Find him a home to stay in or find him a lady that will look after him in the condo/apartment he has. Then allyou have to do is once a month check up on him.

Pattaya's Pedestrian Perils: Crumbling Walkways and Traffic Chaos
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
The main issue is that there are all the vehicles parking it is as if they gave up on the walking route and need to make that corner 1 lane with drop off. get rid of that mini parking lot at the end -
Not sure of that in Pathum Thani. While I was doing my annual, a guy came in to extend, and the captain told him he would need to know where the guy was staying when he came into extend. This whole system is so screwed up I long for the (BIG JOKE) days when we had a guy in charge that was in charge. Things are so messed up right now. For example, when I first moved here, I stayed with my GF, who was renting a house. All immigration wanted was her to fill out the paperwork and send them a copy of her id card by email. After that I took her with me but she was never needed. Then got a new GF and have been staying at the house that I rented and submitted a copy of teh lease agreement for the first year. Then, a few years later, gf bought the house. I never needed anything but took the gf with me in case. This year, they told me I needed tm30, and after supplu\ying that, she told me I just needed a tm 28 next year. Man it keeps us on our toes. I also go to Pats, Samed or stay overnite in BKK never needed to do a tm30 for 90 day report. I will see what happens this time

Airline staff will assist but there must be an identified adult there to collect the person upon landing. If ot then they will just leave him and maynot let him board as he will be an issue at the immigration at Heathrow. Not sure what the Embassy can do but would advise checking with them at least to have it noted. One sily question is it a direct flight to U.K>

Forced to book a hotel on the spot
kingstonkid replied to Saigon's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If you are coming to Bangkok to get your passport renewed, then obviously, you are going to need accommodations. It seems reasonable tht they would want to now where you are living or going to live. most of us who travel book hotel accommodations in advance. So that should not have been an issue. But then again, most of us understand the game and play it better. -
Major E-cigarette Bust Near Pattaya Police Station
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Obviously she was not paying LOL Wonder when RTP will start that on the streets of NANA with the E cig and marijuana trucks, -
The problem is that they really do not care. It is a business, and Farang are doing something to help the business. An example I was part of was a gf owned a restaurant in Pats. I went to take my plates to get washed, and she blew a gasket because the people in the next shop were probably going to call the police and complain that I was working there.

Bangkok's New Plan: Beat Traffic with a Congestion Charge
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
There are a few challenges. 1. how doyou collect the fees people are already ignoring speeding tickets and still able to get their licence renewed. 2. Where are all these people going topark their cars. BTS parking is already full. 3 congection on the BTS is huge we saw it withthe free week. They need to add more trains to the routes which will also cause congestion. 4. If you just make it interesections people will take alternate routes. -
Pattaya’s Mass Tourism Strain: Overcrowding and Ecological Harm
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I really do not think there is a way to make more roads in the tourist part of pattaya. The one thing they might add is garbage baskets along the side of the street and the beach. I am glad they have been able to solve the sand problem at least the beach looks good. It might be an idea for them to take areas that are not developed and make them bus stops and tourists have to walk abit -
Outdated 2-5pm Alcohol Ban Faces Renewed Criticism in Thailand
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That part of the law I will agree with it makes no sense. But then again if you are in a tourist area there is not ban or time you can not buy. I wonder what would change in Pattaya and pat pong if they changed the rules as NANA and Cowboy are in fulll sale mode. Would that mean that walking street bars would be open at 2 pm with girls looking for quick time LOL -
Say what you want about Donald but his comment got the result he wanted. The Arab world is meeting now to discuss how to avoid getting involved with the U.S. The TRUMP effect works. You have to believe. https://apnews.com/article/egypt-gaza-arab-summit-trump-16697d5c6671b5edeb0d864901fe7edc Remember, everything is a negotiation. In this case, it was do you want Israel and the U.S. to rebuild Gaza? We are ready to do so. OR do you want to get off your \assets and fix this? Same with the U.N., they start to see all that money disappearing and have to fly coach instead of 1st class.

Thailand Rolls Out Free Condoms to Teens for Safe Valentine’s
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Why are Thai girls not introduced to berth control methods, and get proper education not from the old 60 year old bat or the young 22-year-old barbie girls The challenge is that the girls cannot turn or get assistance anywhere. Thailand needs a Sunday night Sex with Sue call-in show. Imagine if a TV station promoted that with the same rules that Sue Johansen had, HIV/'STD screening should be free and available to all teens starting at Mat 1. Being teen girl in Thailand to me is worse than being a teen girl in the 60's and 70's in Canada. Can you imagine girls going to mom to talk about sex when she really only has the 2 minute 3-inch wonder and the OLD school taboos to go by Maybe that would be a good job for some of the older Bar girls sex education for girls in Nat schools so they know what they are getting into. -
Photos of Monk With Woman on Jomtien Beach Spark Controversy
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
You have to think that there is some rule in the books against impersonating a MoNK. Then again, anyone can go to a monastery and become one. The ability of people to post trivial things on FB or other sources is rediculous. Makes me wish we were back inteh pre FB era where word of mouth was the only means. how much of the crap we get fed here as news would really be news. -
Thailand Debates Costly Move to Relocate Capital from Bangkok
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Pakistan did the move it works but you have to take your time. Start relocating minor government agencies first. Remember that while you move the agencies there are all the people in those agencies that have to sell homes at a loss and buy new at new location Housing market will die.
