Have used SCB Internet banking for 13 years and never had a problem.

I have PR and I think one of the requirements when you get PR is to get put on a blue tabien baan. So I think all PR holders are on a blue tabien baan. The ID number on my pink ID card starts with an "8", which is "for foreigners who legally come to Thailand and are allowed to stay permanently and foreigners who get Thai Nationality" Since yours starts with a "3", it appears you are classed as " Thai (allow foreigners too) who have name in tabien baan born before 31 May 2527  (1984)"

It will never happen, as the so called 'Elite' do not want an educated population.   Keep the men dumb and the women barefoot and pregnant is the way forward for the foreseeable future.

Agreed. Been here 26 years. Keep the population docile, subservient, ignorant and frightened and you can get away with anything.

I have PR and a pink ID card. The 13-digit number begins with an "8" to indicate you are not Thai. It also says on the front of the card "does not have Thai nationality"

More water management brilliance from the RID, just like in 2011.

My wife said that the Ferrari was on the TV news last night.  Apparently, they said it was going to cost 2,000,000 baht to repair.  

Indeed...won't be cheap.

Interesting news about expats getting a so-called ID by using a yellow certificate of residence. Anyone know about IDs for permanent residents who have the proper blue tambien baan? I guess it would be a different colour ID.

I have PR, my name in the blue tabien baan and a pink ID card with a 13 digit ID number beginning with "8" (denoting that I'm an alien!). I use the card all the time for checking into hotels, getting the Thai price for tourist attractions etc.

Hua Hin is very quiet at the moment. I have a condo here.

I have had a pink ID card since 2012, issued by Pakkret tessabaan, I didn't know I was allowed one...went to get my name put on the tabien baan after getting PR. They took my picture and said come back in a month for your pink ID card!

Has anybody use an ultrasonic device as sold on Lazada for about 350 Baht?

I have a "Dog Dazer" which I bought on Amazon. Certainly makes most dogs react.

My son is a pilot and was delayed for 1hr 51mins out of DMK this morning. He was number 19 in the queue to take off.

Anyone know the procedure to get a Thai passport for a Thai/UK child with Thai ID card and lives in Thailand? Father is British and lives in the UK. Mother is in a Thai jail for the foreseeable future.

Do you have of can you get a copy of the mothers ID and house registration? If so fill out passport in her name, get her to sign in prison along with a power of attorney to make the application on her behalf as well as a letter from her authorizing the child to leave the kingdom with you accompanying the child. Of course it may not be enough for officialdom here. The safest way is to get the mother to agree to you becoming the guardian of the child which is the more sure way to go. It shoukd not be too difficult but you will need the help of a lawyer if you can find an honest one.

I'm not the father! Am enquiring for a friend who lives in the UK and who will come to Thailand in May to get his kids a Thai passport in preparation for a trip to the UK in December.

It is possible with consent from both parents.

Info is here: http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en/services/1415/21479-Requirements-for-the-Ordinary-e-Passports-Applicat.html

Thanks for that. By any chance do you have soft copy examples of:

1. Letter of Authorization from the applicant’s parents giving the non-appearing parent's representative the authority to sign a parental consent form in front of the Passport Office’s authorized personnel

2. Parental consent letter signed by the applicant’s non-appearing parent

Got my work permit renewed last week. No problem at all. i have PR, which may help.

Have had PR since 2012. Makes life easy without the hassles of getting visas etc etc. Haven't given citizenship much thought.

Very overstaffed. Look at the revenue per passenger compared with other full service airlines.

My friend has two children by his Thai wife who is now in jail. The kids have UK passports, but don't have Thai passports. My friend wants his kids to visit the UK this year. Is there any chance they can leave and re-enter Thailand using only their Thai IDs? They can enter and leave the UK on their UK passports. If they also need Thai passports, that would be a problem with their mother being in jail.

Here's the official report, all 206 pages: http://kemhubri.dephub.go.id/knkt/ntsc_aviation/baru/Final%20Report%20PK-AXC.pdf

Yes, there was a problem with the tail rudder limiter on the aircraft, but the plane was perfectly airworthy. But because the tail rudder limiter was faulty, they pulled a black circuit breaker which turned off the autopilot and put it into "alternate law". The airplane banked to 54 degrees...they corrected the bank...but then the rudder (which was off by 2 degrees) caused the aircraft to descend, at which point, the crew put the aircraft into a steep climb, which eventually caused a stall. The stall could have been quickly recovered by pointing the nose down and regaining lift. However, the Indonesian Captain was telling the French First Officer to "pull down", which added to the confusion. The nose remained up and the aircraft plummeted to the sea.

The stall was very recoverable and it's amazing that a Captain who had 20,000 hours flying and who had just had his 6-monthly check (which includes stall recovery) was unable to identify and recover the stall. All they had to do was fly the plane instead of being distracted by the faulty tail rudder limiter.

I think there was a dual input problem during this incident (like Air France)...don't know why Airbus doesn't do anything about this. Apparently, you can have two opposite control inputs at the same time and one will override without the other pilot feeling it in the controls.

An impossible height to jump to. 100 people per nationality. They really don't want us here.

Has this limit ever been a problem for people of your nationality?

I simply don't bother applying. 100 per Brit for the whole of Thailand? 1000s of us pests are here.

But do you qualify for it. How many of the thousands you mention qualify for it. I doubt that the limit is ever reached for the UK.

When I applied in 2007, I was applicant number 25 from the UK so I doubt the UK quota was reached that year.

My wife and I are picking up our daughter there on 2 December late afternoon. What's the current advice on short term parking there to achieve this. ? Is the amari hotel over the road a good option?

Earlier this year I went to pick a friend up and spent 70 mins looking for a parking space. Best to take a cab or park at the Amari and walk over.

My mate was the Captain of the private jet he was on.
