Land border at Sadao only takes about 10 minutes to do border run and is seamless nowadays - flight to Hat Yai is cheap and there are cabs that will take you there and back.

Does anyone know of a reliable agency that can process a one year business visa for the People's Republic of China ?

I have a UK passport with a Thai retirement extension and wish to avoid having to spend 2 days in Bangkok doing it myself as I live some distance away.

Any help gratefully received.

I think you have been stitched up but don't get into any illegal protesting as it can end badly for you - remember that a bullet in the head only costs around 50 USD so be very careful.

Proceeding with a police report or going to the Consumer Protection Board would seem the sensible option and remember to stay calm at all times.

I cannot see the point of decentralizing corruption to a more local level - the entire force needs radical change and nothing short of a new start with a clean slate and a totally radical change of philosophy will do the trick.

A revised legal system would also help

Been doing the same thing for years - what you do is not the business of the IO and she was wrong.

Wouldn't it be easier to just go and try one ?

As usual Costas - a piece of nonsense.

All relationships are different and work or not for different reasons - mine is certainly not the business of either yourself or this forum

An entertaining chain if someway contrived - keep it up guys.......

apologies but someone had to say it !

How many more times ? It is not that difficult to play by the rules people !

Since every person capable of even semi-intelligent and independent thought knows this is a fit up, I would have thought he would appreciate the help of any reasonable outside professional policing - he could hold his hands up in the air , blame some lower echelon police personnel , save face and let the innocent fall guys carry on about their business whilst arresting some seriously unpleasant HISOs.

Still he is an army man and obviously knows all about policing - maybe while he is abroad he could recruit Inspector Morse to sort out the troubles in the South.

It is of no importance who is doing what to whom and whose methods are better.

what is important is that two innocent men not be made to pay for the crimes of 2 SOBs who think they can get away with murder because they are connected.

SINCE THE VICTIMS WERE UK CITIZENS it seems apt that the UK government are playing their part and hopefully a responsible result will be the outcome.

We all know who did it as love 1012 pointed out in his post, so let us hope they get their just desserts.

While they are at it they could also lock up the Red Bull low life and throw away the key.

Locks, alarms and safes are only to stop people who don't really want to get in - any scouser can tell you that

Find people who are related to someone else with who you have business so that it is not just themselves that are affected if they perform badly - got my maid through my caddy at the golf club and the gardner through the maid - no problems for years.

Definitely not enough chlorine in the gene pool here !!

Having lived in 4 countries including Australia, it is an over regulated, over taxed nanny police state but it does have nice beaches and ability to earn good money without an education

UK is the same without the beaches and the money making opportunity .

Another example of the peaceful religion of Islam - how much longer does the world have to listen to their total BS before our eyes actually open to the threat.

If a non Muslim committed some of the crimes they say are in the name of Islam , it would lead either to indictment in the International Criminal court or sectioning and a life in an institution for the criminally insane.

Wake up and smell the coffee world - non Muslims have a right to live a life free of forced indoctrination and terrorism and it is about time we started some payback.

If your vehicle is registered in Bangkok then there is no need - anywhere else you are technically obliged to reregister if your permanent address changes to a different region.

The same is true if you purchase a vehicle second hand from another region.

The paperwork is quite extensive ( imagine that in LOS ) and there is, of course, a fee involved and a vehicle inspection.

You are looking at a day unless you know somebody there however for a small fee there are places where they will do all the messing about for you which is by far the simpler option.

More evidence to support my claim that gardening is dangerous and it is easier to pay someone to do it.

Briandajew - as in all things ........

Sad git - get a life...

I wonder what the UK Embassy is actually doing. The outrage expressed by people on the Internet has been helpful in putting focus Thai and Burmese leadership . The only thing missing are statements from the UK. Please correct me if I am wrong.

WAY TO GO MYANMAR !
Uk can learn a lot from your stance of strength and you will not be messed with quite as easily as you have been in the past. Anyone afraid to speak up from the FO when it is a military junta that seized power in a coup, regardless of the "show" they are giving you, is essentially a coward and You and Sean McAnna should stay hidden in the shadows of this affair so we don't have to clap eyes on either you until you can both step up. Good lord What will it take UK ?

The accused aren't UK citizens. Nothing they can do.

The victims were !!!!!

I never have any problem knowing when my wife wishes to show disdain - attitude, silence and the face....
