  2. hello

    Reason for my post is simple before january 2014 any British national living in Asia could apply for a new passport in most asean countries and their passport would be dealt with at the HongKong office that stopped in January 2014 now all renewal or new passports applications are now dealt with at the passport office in the uk only and here sadly is the rub ? the passport you are using must be sent with the application not a copy the original which puts most people in problems if local countries such as Thailand deems it unlawful to be without your passport at any time lots of online comments and reports of serous delays now over 30,000 back log in uk offices very sad situation and looks like its going to get a lot more serious as the weeks go by before from Thailand you were able to send a certified copy with all the completed forms with payments also made and from the HongKong office your new passport was returned in about 14 days that service due to cut backs by the uk government stopped in January of this year now all are dealt with in the uk passport offices causing havoc on a grand scale.

  3. hi in reply to your comment re international driving permit if its to be used but not in the Asean group of countries then yes follow advise from other posts

    but if its for only Asean countries then a Thai smart driving permit will be all you need cost 600 bahts valid for 5 years but covers driving in all countries in the group but also remember if its using your own private car then you will need to get a cover note of insurance for your car so be sure to carry the cars documents for entering laos,malaysia,singapore,myanmar , etc hong kong is also on the list as is main land china as now with right visa's you can drive to china all the way to kunming border crossing and into china from thailand even drive up from singapore to kunming what a trip that would be .

    cheers from a smart permit holder

  4. i WOULD LIKE TO PASS A COMMENT AS IMMIGRATION RECEIVES NOTIFICATIONS DAILY FROM HOTELS AND GUEST HOUSES WHEN NEW GUEST CHECK IN AND ALSO IF YOU COME IN FROM OVERSEAS AS A GUEST OF A FRIEND IN WHOS HOUSE YOU WILL BE STAYING YOU THEY MUST REGISTER YOU AS BEING IN THE HOUSE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF YOUR ARRIVAL OR FACE A FINE OF 2,000 BAHTS SO FRIEND WHEN YOU MOVE DO GET THE LAND LORD OR WHOM EVER OWNS THE PROPERTY TO GO TO IMMIGRATION THE NEXT WORKING DAY DONT WAIT 90 DAYS AS THEY WOULD WIN THE 2000 BAHT FINE FOR SURE

    MY REASON A FRIEND (THAI ) WAS FINED BECAUSE HER FRIENDS STAYED ALMOST A WEEK THEY NEED TO DO 90 DAYS CALLED IN WHERE ARE YOU STAYING ?? PULLED MY FRIEND SHE PAID THE FINE

  5. in reply to your request about the Thai Embassy in paris ? not far from a great coffee corner and the famous statue of "Foch" and the most wonderful view of the most famous tower in the worldraised for the 1899 world fair

    all the staff are most helpful I used the embassy for my visa's for more than 8 yrs in all while living in France and visiting my future home in Thailand however I am an English man but feel confident your vias application will be dealt with the same profesional wayin which my own was over many years I have been associated with Thailand now for over a quarter of a century and living here for 17 years

  6. I am please to hear of the new bus route from Bangkok to Laos Capital vientiane and the time taken 11 hours wonderful and yes a pre Laos visa a must but dont worry the Embassy in bangkok opens at 8 am and you can pay a little more for a one hour service the same day

    now my main reason for this reply the text quotes another route to pakse in the south well in march of this year 2012 I did that trip using an over night from the capital "vientiane " leaving at 8.30 pm took all night and arriving at the bus station outside the city at just after 7.30 am ? the new service from bangkok quotes its a 13 Hour journey to pakse from Bangkok sorry not possible the service used was a sleeper bus with beds backets pillow etc and cost 1,700 kips Pakse is on National Road 13, the main transportation highway of Laos. and be aware There is a high risk of Malaria and dengue fever during the monsoon season in that area .But one good thing the roads are great one on the new highway and next comment "laos " is the most connected country I have traveled in in some years the whole country has wifi ,broadband available a laptop works on the bus even wonderful skyping enroute south was so clear unreal. hope this brief reply helps even one doing this new route from bangkok but in more like 22 or 23 hours total .
