Anyone have any issues with advance passenger information when dealing with two passports where the name is spelled differently?

Say if your wife's Thai name is Sophaphen Sophonpanich (on her Thai passport) but she's married to your UK name... making her Sophaphen Smith in her UK passport for example. Which name would you use for the ticket? Logic says it should be the one you will use at the destination.... BUT presumably since you have to present your boarding pass and passport simultaneously at outbound immmigration in Thailand, you'd have a boarding pass with Sophaphen Smith (and given, you had already presented your UK passport to the airline so that the ticket and passport match and you pass the airline's check system) but passport with Sophaphen Sophonpanich (to clear outbound immigration as a Thai).

My wife has her UKpassport in hermarried nameand her Thai passport in her own name. nobody has ever queried the difference. You may have trouble booking her ticket on internet if youuse a name different from the surname on your card. I suggest you book as Mr and Mrs.

Did the gold and diamonds exist? Is she claiming on her insurance?

My wife is an excellent cook. So good that she has made dishes for a friend who has then served it to her husband as her own work. She also makes an excellent mince and tatties, although I had initially to restrain her from putting "Pla Lah" into it.

I am too lazy to scroll through all 126 pages of the farming and gardining forum.

Please tell me the name in english (if any) or the latin scientific name of the bean Pak Khi Hoot.

My late friend Ray Ford used to pay a personal checque drawn on his UK account into SCB in Chiangmai and get credit for most of it until it cleared. Clearance usually took about 4 weeks.

I have an HP. It is VERY expesive on ink. Since I only use it intermittently. the cartridges, dry out in just under a month and a new black costs £12 from a discounter. Also, it counts the pages and refuses to work even though there is plenty of ink left. I advise you to avoid HP.

I am not afraid of my wife but all her sisters are.

My granny can suck eggs.

If you have time, hire a car and go to Fujeira on the indian ocean coast , or to R'as al Khaima in the north. They are both less developed and traces of the old Gulf are still plentiful. Both are a day trip from Dubai.
