Only time I held 2 passports was while I was in the military I had my normal one and one issued as a member of the military.

Well I did finally get it completed, saw the higher ranking village head who actually lives a fair way outside the city limits, was a nice bloke( as I find most non governmental thais to be) he couldnt be more helpful. It was still a cluster till the end though with the new guy handling the job trying to save face by talking loudly to me in the crowded office and me using hand gestures back it then took the poor girl who was entering stuff all of her lunchtime to finish it as we were told they had to use a seperate part for farangs, we then waited for a bit to get the pink card but she told us to go home and come back at 4 pm as they had to change out of the thai system to the farang one(I already knew this thankfully) but it was a pain as stragglers kept coming in but finally it was done. As a few said, just give up, I would have if during the pandemic I could have got a vaccine earlier(as I do have a small lung problem) but couldnt get on the list without an id number(which the pink card provides) and who knows what the future holds in regards to ids etc. Also saw a remark that someone who wasnt married was knocked back as I was at the start of all this, thats because in the instructions it states they need a copy of the marriages certificate if there is one, the Thais read this as needing one, same can be said for a work permit as well.

He gets calls from the Amphurs when they run into problems but would like to know what problems the amphurs are causing, as he does courses for them, my latest being we have to see the big village head as Im like a new son-in-law and i need to introduce myself, hope he likes my request for help getting the roads fixed in my village.

Just as a new add to this, it is still an ongoing saga, my wife contacted someone in the Bureau of Registration Administration(BORA) yesterday and we were told to go to Buri Ram Amphur and see if we could get some help from them after the guy handling our request for a yellow book threw my wives phone back at her when she said someone from BORA wanted to speak to them. Not much help really as the big position there said just go see the big village head( after they had told us it would be easy to do in Buri Ram), all of this came about after we had our 2 witnesses seen, then a government employee our next door negihbour a police officer, then the local village head and finally the big village head who we have tried to contact to no avail) all of this taking up more and more time. So the other guy wont work with us now and the new guy who my wife shielded me from she is worried that I may lose it with them is a little better but not much as he said he would get it done in 10 days and we should be polite and go and see the big village head not just ring him, what my wife should have asked how are we supposed to know all these procedures when they arent stated anywhere.

I would pay dual pricing( I dont at present because I dont visit anywhere thathas it), if I could claim back all the vat tax I pay each year.

As an aside as there is a bit of Yellow book, pink card stuff here, I used my Residence certificate for the translation of my passport as it includes that in the certificate and it was accepted about the only think that was.

Congratulations to you and buy a lottery ticket, I thought it would be simple as well but now 2 months in it is a nightmare, I dont even have to go to the office anymore(luckily as I was get a tad boisterous on my last visit) my wife handles it all and still the person comes up with another thing wanted or a delay in getting it to his boss, who will then let it sit on his desk I suppose, we know what they really want even the people at the front desk told us but Im not playing that game.

We only lived in CM for a short time about a year and a bit, I did enjoy my time there and I would like to visit again one day, my only regret is the no more Rugby 10's my only chance to see any type of rugby live and the traffic was so so if you were lucky enough to be able to pick what time you were going somewhere and we only had a Click then so it wasnt that bad.

LOL it doesnt have to be a lane it just has to be a bit of ground and they will use it and then get <deleted> when you dont let them back in.

and if he had gone to rehab he wouldnt have needed to steal weed

and you can sit in a circle with your friends and do what comes naturally to you

AND if the thief had stayed in hospital he probably would not have died.

Not doing it in my part of Buri Ram, but then Im just a new convert to an O for marriage from an O-A.

Cant believe any survey that has Melbourne in its top 10 for anything.

No they dont have too as the police would be already looking for the person.
