dick turpin

Thanks guys.....most critical advice would seem to be to test out on small area first and go from there. Agree, should call back the builder to take care, but he obviously has already demonstrated his attitude to maintaing a clean workplace.

Had a builder splatter gloss paint over my floor tiles am a bit reluctant to go the full monty with paint stripper for fear of damage to said tiles....is there a safer means.

Had a similar request to update my address at Korat, simply because slip in my passport was an old version. Also at Korat the IO dealing with the extension will automatically reboot your 99 day report and issue any re-entry permit....all at the same desk.

Your name not Farage by any chance......

Yawn.....very old news and already discussed on this forum, try and keep up old boy.

If you are travelling up the Mittraphap or highway to hell it is hardly an epic journey. Better you time your trip so that when you turn off for Khao Yai at Pak Chong you will have a wide range of eateries such as Chocolate Factory, KP Steak and Studer.....mind you all at Khao Yai prices

What bugs me is when they are too lazy to change the menu, but just put stickers over the old prices.

You get to keep your passport intact for purposes of ID and domestic travel in Thailand, but as you say invalid for international travel. It will then be clipped when you pick up your new passport. Not sure of current charges, but you will fill out a separate form with your credit card details, to allow them to deduct what they like.

Do you mean the percentage that can spell "foreigner".

HMPO will make payment deduction immediately on receipt of application in the UK, which suggests delay in submitting to VFS at this end. Out of interest, who told you your photos we're not acceptable HMPO, VFS or Key Visa.

"Polish"...........give me a break.

The only guy that knew more about Thai immigration regulations than Thai Immigration.

Got a confession to make.......still got the blue film on my extractor, it actually makes the kitchen look super smart

Out of interest, anyone picked up a new Brit passport at VFS in Bangkok lately and been told they no longer need an embassy transfer letter.

Let's see how his insurance company handles this one......yes, you've guessed.

Think you will find Monday is a late substitute holiday to cover for Saturday.

Extended for "many years".........and still he has to ask

Go on.......that's right break it to me gently and I had the T-shirt already pressed

Going to 12-14........coming back 16-18, on 15 everyone too ratassed to care.

Indeed, which expires when his next extension is due, when the 90-day clock will be rest as per my post.

My local IO always resets the clock from the date you go for a new extension..

Well spotted.....was discussed on forum two weeks ago.

Your old passport gets cancelled once your application is received, allowed to retain in Thailand for the purposes of ID, but invalid for international travel.

Wonder if VFS will continue to accept renewal applications if this kicks in.

Coming up to 65,000km, tread still looks OK, but is it time to renew due to general degradation, after five years.
