    Do all the translations also need a stamp from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

     

    So for the application here is the checklist - anything not necessary?

     

    - father's passport + colour copies of all pages

    - father's original birth cert + colour copy

    - mother's ID card + colour copy

    - baby's birth certificate + colour copy (translated and stamped)

    - marriage certificate + colour copy (translated and stamped) *  not sure this is required

    - utility bill

    Looks good, apart from ........

    Fathers long version birth certificate ........... they won't accept a short version birth certificate.

    I think Vietnam or even the Philippines would be better than Cambo

    Been to those places, Cambodia was a fraction of the cost, and probably more fun.

    Vietnam was a bit cleaner if that's important to you.

     

    Just for comparison.

    Power cuts, in a one week period, 3 in the Philippines, 1 in Cambodia, none in Vietnam, 1 in Thailand.

     

    Data SIM for 1 month works perfectly well in each country,

    Philippines 200 peso, Vietnam 200,000dong, Cambodia $9, Thailand 300bht.

    But it would seem rather questionable if a person moved their entire life to suck cheaper suds. 

    My pals were sinking 10 pints a day, so 800bht in a Thai girly bar Vs 150bht in a Cambodian freelancer bar.

    Add on a couple of drinks for the girls on your lap Thailand 300bht Vs Cambodia 30bht.

     

    That adds up to a 1,100bht ($40) night out Vs a 180bht ($6) night out which is a big difference.

    The avocados in Thailand are crap-

    As I said, they are not part of my British western diet.

    Faddy eaters always pay more, wherever they go in the world.

    Learn to eat food that is locally produced, and you will have a much better time touring the world.

     

    I don't have any complaints about the food prices in Thailand, my main winge is the constant VISA rule changes and the many corrupt immigration offices and staff and of lesser importance the exchange rates.

    You are in the wrong.  Have you tried buying avocados lately.  30 Baht a piece... I can get 3 for 1$ CAD in Montreal.  Kiwis are 25 Baht a piece here, I get 6 for 1$ CAD.  

    and @Odyysseus

    Avocados are very cheap in the local markets when in season, I would suggest you stop doing all your shopping in tourist supermarkets Rimping/Friendship/Tops/Villa and buy in the more local shopping areas.

    Although avocados and kiwi fruit are not part of my British/Euro diet so I'm not an expert on them and wouldn't include them in my 'western food' list.

  6. The one at the end of Chang Puak road on the Superhighway?

    With the attached dental clinic?

     

    I've used them, the dental clinic was a very reasonable price, and the doctors in the hospital did a good job of stitching me up. They also did a friend of mine with a broken leg (m/c accident) for a decent price.

    Cheaper than RAM but with similar rooms, more expensive than NaKornPing.

    If on a Non-O-ME, you will probably be OK, tomorrow - but I'd never try to enter there, myself. 

    Went there last week, Thai immigration gave me a hard time both ways even with a Non O.

    On the way out, examined every page in my passport, half full all SEA, took 15 minutes.

    On the way in one week later, many questions, why Cambodia, why this border, why Thailand, where you go next?

     

    Cambodian side very easy, the VISA officer demanded $300 + 100Bht, I just paid as not much point in arguing over 100Bht.

    Bus from Mo Chit  to Rong Klua 217Bht, leaves every hour, same for trip back, 5hr journey.

    Bust/Van PoiPet to Siam Reap $7, 4hr journey.

    Border crossing time 2hrs.

    Cheap as chips!

     

    Siam Reap is a lot of fun, don't bounce, make it a little holiday, your Cambodian VISA is good for 30 days and it's a lot cheaper than Thailand.

    you are lucky from the beginning their family wanted me to pay of the mortgage in thailand and scored a car from me when i brought her here she pretended to play happy family only to get what she wanted was a free visa entry my lesson learnt when too kind to others they don't comply I had a bad experience i have alot on my own plate i manage looking after our child she benefits now i simply do not trust thai women no more from my experience she knew from the beginning what she wanted and i have some evidence of that 

    It's never wise to be overly generous or trusting to any woman from any country.

    I can't say I've found any foreign lady to end up as bad as my former English wife of 30 years.

     

    Claiming yours is different after 9 or 12 years is laughable, they can all play a longer game than that.
