The answer is 3,138. Below is an nxtract from a Freedom of Information request submitted earlier this year, also giving the numbers for 2016 and 2017:

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 REQUEST REF: xxxx-xx

Thank you for your email of 28 July 2019 asking for information under the Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA) 2000. You asked: 
I would like to know the number of Income Affadavits (Proof of Income Letters) issued by the British Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand each year for the last five years please.

I am writing to confirm that we have now completed the search for the information which you requested.

I can confirm that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) does hold information relevant to your request.

The following figures are for the total number of consular fee 2i (preparing a certificate in 
English) issued from 2016 to 2019. We do not hold the information requested prior to 2016.

The vast majority of consular fee 2i are related to the proof of income letter but this consular fee group does include a small number of other certificates. We can not break down the number further because checking through each certificate individually would take us above the cost threshold.

2016: 2211
2017: 2679
2018: 3138
2019: 0

How many do you think? thaivisa.com knows the exact figures, and we will publish them at the conclusion of this poll.

In the meantime, how many people were affected? @mikebell questioned the British Embassy staff about the income letters here, and the reply seems to be that they will not be coming back.

He is academically strong with top grades in most classes. Has only been there one semester. He is often late and to day they inform me they did not "like the way he dresses".

Round peg square hole. Better off out of there from the sound of it. If it wasn't this it would be something else.

Does he speak Thai? I ask because Patana gives the highest priority for entry to students who, '...by virtue of their previous education experience, have no choice but to attend an English-speaking international school."

In years 12 and 13 they teach International Baccalaureate (IB), which is the right age for your son.

Here is a recent advert from Patana:

Is your son at a private/international school or a government school?

...do you really have that 200A available?

No idea. We are 20 meters maximum away from the MEA transformer which has a plate that says 500 on the side of it.

We are the first and closest connection to the transformer. The wires from our building are connected to the output wires of the transformer about 2 meters away from the transformer itself.

No idea if that makes any difference though.

This is the sticker on the meter:

We have a 200 amp, 3 phase supply coming into a building. There is negligible existing use of electricity (a few led lights and a couple of plug sockets that charge mobile phones and camera batteries). We want to purchase a machine with a motor that uses 30kW of power. The machine could be situated close to the building's fuse board.

1. Do we have enough power available to run the machine?

2. If the machine was running, how much power would be left for other electrical items?

Thanks you!

As stated, it's your flight number. VJ is Viet Jet. 803 is their lunchtime Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok flight.

The applicant must get an Overseas Insurance Certificate completed by their insurers. This then needs to be handed in with their application.

You can buy 4 tickets for 8,060 baht, which is 2,015 baht each. These tickets take you one way out of the country only.

You can also buy 4 return tickets for roughly the same price.

That works out at about 4,000 baht for a return ticket to any of the destinations.

How does that compare to their rivals?

Today is a bad air day in Bangkok aswell.

Easiest thing to do is give her some cash. She will appreciate it much more than a voucher.

This might not be the done thing in your home country, but it's quite normal here. Just tell her that the meal is on you.

This forum will not be used for the discussion of illegal activity such as evading tax or import duty that might be owed to the Thai government.

Perhaps you underestimate the number of Thai citizens with Indian heritage. You can read a bit more here:
