Liz Truss crashed the economy, caused a panic in the money markets and wanted to give tax breaks to wealthy people with uncosted budget plans. Her government left office with 22 billion black hole, the British public voted very clearly to kick out a corrupt, incompetent shambles.

renewed in May this year VFs office on 29th April and collected again from Bangkok on 12 May. Not clear why I could not have delivery to home by DHL.

I renewed my passport this year, no big problem. With the new passport you need to make your next 90 day application in person at the Immigration office. There is no reason to register before the 90 days becomes due unless you are planning to travel abroad or do business, but you will need to carry around both passports for around 90 days. Also you need to inform your Bank with lots of paperwork and photocopying and signatures. DHL forwarded the documents to Liverpool HMPO, but I had to collect the new passport in person.

We ran mini-marathons in Isaan over the last 2 years. The competitions are well-managed, and the camaraderie is good. I always feel welcome as a farang sharing an event with Thais. I run for pleasure rather than trophies or prize money but this year several events have advertised that prize money is only for Thai competitors not FOREIGNERS. Farangs can compete but will not share any prizes, even finishing first, second or third. I want to ask this forum is this legal?
