They  don't issue you a marriage certificate if you get married in Thailand

Why should they issue death certificate.

Register a death is on the website gives you all the options you need 

looks very straight forward     

No need to panic 

Treat them mean and keep them keen policy is working a treat  

My experience is mail seems to depart from the airport every 10 - 14 days 

but it does not always go  direct to the UK and may be held at the next airport

Posting in Bangkok the tracking shows it is processed and ready to leave the same day 

It is just luck whether there is a flight ready for it or not  

when it arrives in the UK it is delivered in 2 - 3 days.

I have had mail take anywhere between 3  - 30 days

 Not  100 baht specials , The meat at jeffers is very  poor quality

Sorry to drag up an old post, but seems like the post has possibly reverted to having the same issues as the beginning of the year.

Is anyone else having any issues sending items to the U.K. once again?

How long  have you been waiting this time

Strange, nobody asked for anything like that when I married my wife in Sweden.

The OP is in Thailand  

You extend your permission to stay not the visa

you can get the 30 day extension  

check the requirements need photo, copies  of passport pages  

application form TM7   and 1900 baht 

More evidence that possession of a valid visa is not the sacrosanct guarantee that some keep insisting it is...  When it comes to foreigners anymore, EVERYTHNG is on the table.

What airline did you fly with ?

A rather vague post

Thanks for all the helpful replies which tell me things I already know.

What I asked was how long it would take to drive from Victory Monument to Ekkamai at 5pm.

I ask because apparently the government are arranging a shuttle bus to do exactly that.

Anybody who decides to take that journey deserves the pleasures it will bring

How on earth is this going to reduce traffic at Victory Monument!?

Instead of getting on a Minivan to go to - say - Rayong now a commuter has to get on a Shuttle Bus at VM to get to Morchit, then get in the Minivan.

So instead of the Minivans causing congestion at Victory Monument there will be scores of Shuttle Buses causing congestion there.

I really wonder sometimes at the idiocy of these "planners"!

Normal people will not go to Victory monument if they Know the vans will not be there

The shuttle busses will benefit people who are local to Victory monument and those who did know that they had moved

Visa on arrival is not for 30 days

are you getting confused with visa exempt

How long is your total trip ?

You can extend the tourist visa by 30 days

Interesting chat with local Post Office.....

What are the sizes of the boxes used for the "one box" service ?

A: We dont do that, no hab, you must go BIG office.

Yes, but you are the Thai Post Office too, do you have any information on the one box service offered ?

A: No, must go BIG shop, we not do nothing, not know nothing about that.

Oh the joys of living in Thailand.

I saw those boxes hanging at the wall in a postofficeshop in a mall and asked her how much to ship it to the UK.

You like big box? No that box on the wall is the perfect size, how much to send to the UK? No hab UK sir, cannot do.

Then i gave up and went my way.

How can one work at an international postoffice and not speak english? Thailand only

Where is the international Post office I have only ever seen regular Thailand post branches.

So you've avoided the BTS for years rather than work out how to use it properly.

Like others have said - Rabbit card. Bangkok 101.

No, I know very well how to use it, it is very simple, but if you read my OP, I said I object to queueing up twice for

the one thing, and if possible, I walk, use a bus, or the MRT where you only queue once.

I do not live in Bangkok, so a rabbit card would not suit me, and a lot of times my business is not near BTS stations.

The card lasts for 5 years

the money you have on the card lasts for 18 months from top up

you don't have to live in Thailand never mind Bangkok for the card to suit you

the idea of the card is you do not have to cue

I heard all these kinds of things started going up back when Yingluck transferred 3 trillion to the central bank.. or something

Yes that is why they charge for ATM withdrawal

If you've maintained 800K+ Baht in a Thai bank FX rates are irrelevant.

A Baht is a Baht is a Baht!

The topic is not about savings

Anything that has been sent to me recorded from the UK arrives in Thailand in 5 - 7 days

after that it has taken anything between 1 & 21 days to finally arrive depending where it has to go.

When I was staying in Pattaya the tracking was the full of the page it must of stopped at least 10 times from it left Bangkok.

Please let it be true this time

Your battery is knackered. Get a new one or better still buy a MacBook (I know Apple are a horrible company, but their computers are good). I bought an HP for the wife a few months back, the screen detaches to become a tablet. I regret the purchase and she won't use it. Windows 10 is a shambles, a dreadful operating system. I had to buy her a MacBook.

Windows 10 is a great OS

Some people just do not know how to operate computers

Beach OK , Water not clean. The only Sharks are on land

Nobody cares but I hardly believe that someone not even able to check shipping prjce on post website will ever succeed in anything.

Also, it's clear that you will never sell enough ti register any company, open your eyes.

This is what Thai Visa is known and loved for. I would be disappointed if I didn't get at least one answer like this! Haha. Let's talk about Thai women and double pricing next. 555.

You got the truth

If you have no experience selling online you could it difficult especially with clothing.

Lucky for the whales that Thais haven't developed a taste for them. Soon they will be the only "fish" left.

Whales are not fish

Was it only a few years someone claimed "it will never flood in BKK again".

Or did I imagine that ?

You think too much
