So Embassy here must be different from other Embassies then seen this situation a few times all over the world and always the British Embassy has been there for people especially on two occasions where mental health issues were involves. Personally I would go to Embassy explain problems if they refuse help sit there don't move remember Embassy is British soil therefore cannot be arrested by Thai Police. Make sure someone goes with him with a camera. But I don't belive it will go that far I belive there would be help in the case of mental problems

Overstay bit might work hand himself in explain he can't pay overstay fine then deportation to UK. Might be an option

But you have to pay for your deportation, IDC will keep him locked up until he can pay for the ticket

Then that's when embassy steps in and if they don't then the papers will be interested

In his 30's with absolutely NOBODY back in the UK that could assist? There's a long-winded thread running somewhere else started by some Belgian who's allegedly shit out of luck, money, friends, family and replete physical impairments.

The new TV management should consider a forum like the personal ads inside the back page of Private Eye... "Need funding, hopeless case, nobody cares, [bank sort code and account number appended]"

Mmm hope you never get down on your luck who knows what's round the corner

Always used smoke to clear the things don't need a lot try keeping a little fire going whilst outside and throw the odd soaked pice of wood on it does work. I use a used tin bean can little twigs and a supply of well soaked twigs for smoke and sit it close to us whilst sitting out.

Overstay bit might work hand himself in explain he can't pay overstay fine then deportation to UK. Might be an option

On a lighter good news side my electric bill will come down won't need the AC

Thanks for clearing up my point

Forget the obsession people have over the photo fit it's just a hopeful exercise if people see even the slightest resemblance they will contact police and hopefully as it seems in this case it worked those from UK remember the Yorkshire rippers photo fit !!!!!!!

The definitive low down bought a truck in Khon Kaen went to transport office in Khon Kaen queued in the line of traffic to get vin/engine numbers checked got to front greeted with shaking heads and smiles can't do its registered in Bangkok if you want to change name in blue book Bangkok that way (pointing finger) smiles all round. Went in to offices found a very helpful lady.

First change plates to Khon Kaen

Second change name

Third come back in 3 days after you fill out forms.

Did all forms and went back 3 days later with all relevant documents I needed

Insurance

Passport and copies all signed

Proof of residency

Sellers signed I'd and house book copies and his signed permission for me to be power of attorney for him.

No queue for vin checks showed them paper re changing plates thumb up all done in 3 mins went into offices.

Went with book to read for long haul went back to friendly lady she smiled and looked at all paper work great she said all here there's a change for a ferang! ! 1 hour later I was driving out of center with new number plates and blue book in my name.

I suspect there was a cell involved in this probably 3 or 4 people great news if they have 2 they will cough the rest up soon.

Am I wrong here whilst doing one of those long visits to Imigration and doing several xword puzzles I look at the screen and I'm sure it says something like over stay over 90 days no re entry for 1 year over stay over 1 year no re entry for 3 years or is that for something else!!!!

Happy with choice here already got two I think should be banned worldwide McDonald's and Starbucks

I have asked this question a lot as my wife's family do this in Issan village all seem to sleep in same room although there are at least 5 bedrooms vacant. Answer it is just done no rhyme or reason just is what it is and strangely enough despite my reservations it works very well and I'm happy to go with the flow.

7700 baht for a revised dieselpump, nuzzles and also a new waterpump which is hard to reach.

Welcome to Thailand.

And then still complaint of course.

This would have costed 80.000 where i come from. With warranty of course.

Thought you might come from thailand now as you choose to live here just a thought !!!

Can get visa change in Pattaya you hand in paper work and they send it to Bangkok I think and I may be wrong I read somewhere Kor at does the same. Sure someone will know. I did mine based on retirement for this year within the first 60 day entry visa got a triple in Hull just in case. Will be moving over to based on marriage next year. Just easier for me will be moving up to khon kaen before then so I will have all my soldiers in a line by next Nov. For it to go smoothly at Khon Kaen immigration with any luck.

Depends were you are re coverage then it's horses for courses up in Khon Kaen I found Dtac to be the best signal wise and package wise.

Bit like freedom of speech we should all have that right some don't and never will but safety is your own responsibility one can never be 100% safe not even tucked up in your bed behind locked doors nowadays but with a bit of pre planning you can be as safe as you can be. Pre planning doesn't mean full on security checking for bombs and full surveillance. But if your going out for a drink or three make sure you have a safe way of getting home or if you know a certain area is not good after a certain time don't go there even if the beer makes you feel invincible. As for the right to feel safe in Thailand Yes you have the same right as a Thai National no more no less. We all have the right to have a good drip session (moan) and for someone to say your a foreigner put up with it is aload of tosh. if you break the laws of the country then you take the punishment of the country then you have to put up with it your choice your consequences.

Yes she wanted to change and was proud to do so and yes so was I. As for paperwork was strait forward I'd Ard house book bank no problems just took a good supply of crossword puzzles whilst we waited LOL

Very helpful for me to cheers glegolo

By going to Imigration as we all do.

I came in on triple visa (did not use all in end got retirement visa quicker than intended) any worked it all out first visa 90 days with 30 day extension border run 2nd visa just 60 days border run 3rd 90 days with extension total 240 days roughly 8 months did it that way to get the last visa in before 6 mth expired.

Now retired. Water of a ducks back my friend quack quack. But I'm sure you can find someone to play your little games obviously a bored man

IF that is the case and I bow to your take on that. We live in Thailand corruption bribery is the norm. How ever for me to give a gift of 200Bht for no favours but because the person has dealt with me in what I deem to be fantastic customer service is as I said at the start good public relations

Not where I served there not still going strong. Cash sure I got given cash and declared it to my sergeant who in turn informed who ever he needed to but I will also add any cash I was given whilst serving in the form of gifts or thanks went straight to a charity. But I know what your trying to say bribery imigration officers are not police so your innuendo has no thrust to it.

As it would happen now retired yes every Xmas always gave our village Bobby a bottle or chicken. And when I followed suit I was given a good few thank you tips.
