Collected my Son's passport from Trendy today.........the time line of my ordeal -
29th April - documents submitted to Trendy and money taken off my card 2 days later.
Several phone calls made to the UK helpline with the promise of being emailed in 72 hours.....never happened.
1st week in July managed to obtain an email address for Liverpool HMPO where they replied informing me the application was approved and sent for issue at the beginning of June. Several emails sent to Trendy asking if the passport was there and ready for collection.......zero response.
Trendy phoned me this week on Wednesday 23rd July and I picked up the passport this afternoon.
The girl that handed me the passport was very keen on retaining the DHL envelope, I kept hold of it only to discover the passport left the UK on the 2nd June and was received at Trendy 4th June.
The issue date in the passport was 30th May and Trendy sat on it for over 7 weeks.
Although HMPO are taking a long time to process the applications in my case 5 weeks, things are not being helped by the dogs dinner of an operation at Trendy. We have paid for the DHL fee can they not deliver to our house? I live in Bangkok so relatively easy for me to collect but I spare a thought for those in the islands and up North.

FORD Everest
in Thailand Motor Discussion
Posted
My Hilux is 5 years old this October and I'm planning replacing with a SUV.
I've not looked into power figures but I like my 3.0 prerunner and the Thai manufacturers look to be dropping the engine size, is this due to efficiency or emissions related tax?
Having test driven the Pajero, Fortuner & Everest they all feel very similar. I prefer the Ford 3.2 engine over the others but the deciding factor for me is the Ford due to Isofix child seat fittings.
Thai manufactured cars Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi etc don't have them but the Ford does. It might be a minor detail to swing the decision but the practicalities involved with having young children and car seats being pulled in and out. My my wife has a Mercedes and being German has Isofix, so switching seats between the Merc will be easy as opposed to my current Hilux.
