IIRC the one day service for a 'Jumbo'[48 pages] is less than the cost of same through the embassy here [AKA Hong Kong].

It would be the best option in my view. These days I think you have to arrange an appointment some time ahead, but at least you can now do it at local Passport Offices.

Regards

not local offices,which are in lots of towns now, but regional offices - London, Liverpool, Peterborough, Glasgow, Newport, Belfast and Durham

Obtain a tourist visa first to save problems with flying to Thailand.

Get a year multi entry non immigrant 'o' from hull consulate,they are about £100. that will give you 90 days on entry to Thailand, and would allow you entry for one year from date of issue. see here -http://www.thaiconsul-uk.com/ I have trouble downloading the pdf files, but you should be ok.

have a great trip

what a sad story, it would seem to me that she was demonstrating to her sibling how it was done. my thoughts are with the family

thanks for that i will have a look at both places

Get a 90 day non 'o' visa which would avoid any trips to a border or immigration and would work out about the same price as a 60 day tourist with an immigration office extension. I always say its better to come here with the correct visa, it saves any problems down the line.

Hi I have to do a border run towards the end of august, and I was thinking of combining it with a 4-5 day break to Chang Rai, Does any one have any recommendations regarding a route from Putalung area to Mae Sai, taking in some views and places to visit and overnight stays.traveling by car. many thanks

should be ok once it has cooled down, blow a fan on it in the future if you are going to use it for a long time.

where are you?

Once the final 90 days have been issued on a multi entry 'o' and it is coming to the end of that 90days, would it be possible to go to immigration and obtain a 90 day visit thai wife, extention as a one off?

fly to u tapao airport and try the coast from sattahip through to trat, very good beaches, and ko chang is a lovely place.

The best direct flight from heathrow by far

Ask for a window seat at the rear row 67 to 71 as these are only 2 seats so you wont get bothed by other passengers wanting to use the bog

very good airline the best of all the direct flights, these rear seats are a bit bumpy,so try and get an emergency door seat. if a drink is required outside the normal trolley runs just go to the rear and ask the crew, no problems have a good flight

How old are you? Do you have a passport? Have you ever left home before?

No problem they will be looking for you. May I suggest that you go online and google Thailand or buy some books. Do your parents approve of you coming here?

Not old enough to be patronizing? I may get banned again for 3 days, but let me ask you where in your life have you been outside of America? Are you old enough to travel alone? If not I suggest that you go to India first, then to Afghanistan and Pakistan after some good experience there come to Thailand.

What a load of cr*p, A young person comes on here to ask a perfectly valid question or two, and you spout off that Thailand is like a modern day beirut, answer the persons questions correctly or leave it alone, We all know that Thailand is safe as long as you do not go and ask for trouble.

Patriots I hope you have a good time in Thailand, enjoy the culture and the people, who are extremely friendly, and yes some will try and get your money but the vast majority will be very welcoming and helpful, give as you expect to receive. Some people on this forum should really reassess their place of residency.

A Visa would be easier, 30 days visa exempt would only be issued at the airport, and you would need a plane ticket out within 30days, a multi entry 'o' visa would give you the opportunity to do any adjoining country visits by land rather than air, as would a two entry tourist visa with a reentry permit.

income tax is only paid in one country, not both as far as i am aware

A sad story, and my thoughts go out to the family of the lady, what ever the reason for this grusome crime,I do hope the person/persons are held accountable. On a slightly different point why the anti uk post by the newbie uptownbob, completly off topic..

exactly what type of visa do you get, and what is your home country?

good report try this link - www.bangkokbrt.com

To be safe, prior to leaving buy a cheap flight ticket out within 30 days of arrival, if you use it that is a bonus. you will more than likely be refused boarding without it.

Hi

OEM Versions of windows can only be used once, full retail versions can be used more than once but can only be used on one computer, so to use it on a second computer it must be uninstalled on the first computer. you can purchase a key on line,but must be part of a cd/download package and it must be a key for the same version you are installing, ie windows 7 ultimate key for a copy of windows 7 ultimate installed etc. see here -http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/. it would be cheaper to get an upgrade key from vista to windows 7, use the vista computer to check online with microsoft how much to upgrade the current operating system. see here -http://www.microsoft.com/windows/buy/default.aspx

also available in the uk can be topped up at the post office,etc.

2. When you buy the printer, have ink tanks installed the printer. You can easily see when the ink is getting low and they are very easy to refill. Have this done by a technician who is qualified. Many times I have seen a poor installation where the feed line comes lose and the print head jams. Or they get ink all over the carriage causing steaks. If you are in Pattaya, I have found the technician at Power Print (TukCom, 3rd floor next to the escalator) does an excellent job.

I agree with getting ink tanks they are about 700 - 900 baht fitted. I have used them for a couple of years in a epsom photo r220 with a six colour tank, still prints as good as new.

have you thought of a honda wave auto see here - http://world.honda.com/news/2010/c100218Wave-110i-AT/, the release says they will be 44,000 baht

obtain a multi entry 'o' visa from hull. that gives you a choice either doing border runs every 90 days which will give you 15 months here, or in the last 30days of any of the 90day stays of changing to a 12months marriage extension.

A 20 foot container collected from your door in the UK and delivered to Laem Charbang is about £1,500. ship in wifes name only, ALL fees at the dock and delivered to your door in thailand, not too far from the port 27,000 baht. I have just done it in the last couple of months
