Top man

Happened to me once, never again, I'm no good with Internet bookings and I don't trust them. 

Now I go to flight center in London and in person and fly through Thai Airways or Eva brilliant service and cheap also I have to say they will match Internet prices if found they are above. 

It might sound trivial, but please don't say taxi, it was probably a mini cab.

You could of gone to the proper rank and got a proper taxi, it's all swings and roundabouts, it might of cost you a bit more on the fare but you could of saved on the car park charges. 

Sorry guys but I'm getting confused, I have 2 passports and I go to the Thai embassy in London, 3 times a year i do this, then I get my 60 day visa put in my passport so really is can only use 1 passport, how does people use 2 passports? 

Sorry to intrude in op's question but could someone tell me could it be possible for my salary in the UK be paid into my Bangkok account. Much appreciated.sorry what I mean is i do a lot of credit card work.instead of it going in my account in UK can it be directed straight to my Bangkok account, 

Many thanks.

I guess a lot of people ask that question before they come to Thailand,you can figure it all out before you move here.

Once you are here what are you going to do?Sit around all day?Nice for the first few months but the shine does wear

of fast.

Do you have hobbies?Fishing? Traveling?Golf? All cost money and you will need to find something to occupy

your time.

I have seen a lot of people turn slowly into alcoholics.

Thailand is a great country to stay imo but it is not for everyone.

Learn to say no and choose your friends carefully.

Post of the day. 

If the op doesn't know by now and the wife is not responding,  then there might be something wrong with the relationship. Only saying and this is from the wife. (Thai )

Far more such relationships end up in divorce though, the odds are against it working, but good luck to the ones where it has.

I would also like to see your statistics for your comment. I know  many that have gone back and been very  happy. Difference is the op is speaking honestly though TV. 

Someone just said. (They wouldn't go to your funeral ) well I tell you something, last year and good friend of mine died in the next village, he been falang, I was shocked to see how happy people turned up. I would say about 2-3 hundred. Made me think a lot about thai culture.

If I had the chance. Koh samet.

Beautiful and peaceful.

Is the babies father British? If the baby is born in the UK it will have British citizenship. However if the baby is born in Thailand and the father is British it will have dual citizenship. A lot more convenient if your friend spends most of his time in Thailand with the Thai mother.

well said and very straightforward.

But surely a baby born to a Thai mother in the UK will also be entitled to dual citizenship?

as said before, the best way to have a child, is to be born in Thailand, and the father can register the child in the UK. Hence the child has no problems with the Thai side because he /she will have thai citizenship, and also be able to have a British passport. End of.

There's no need to register a birth in Thailand in order to have a British passport. As long as one parent is eligible to pass on their British citizenship, you can just apply for a passport. I got my 9 month old son (born in Thailand, mother from Laos) a UK passport very easily.

My query was why a baby born in the UK with a Thai parent would have difficulty getting dual nationality?

The reason is, dual nationality is not the same anymore, if a child is born outside the kingdom, the child is alien. But the uk as we know will give British citizenship to a donkey.

sorry brewter, but that's what I mean, you said you got your child's British passport easily, but Thailand is not the same, abd before I get shouted down, Thailand has it right,

Mind you, in a few years time if the uk keeps going the way it is, who would want a British passport?

Please could someone tell me if it's legal to vape in Thailand. At the moment lm back in England and im coming back home soon, but I'm hearing some conflicting stories, some say yes I'm ok and some say don't even think about it. When I left I didn't even think I would be vapeing but been back here in London and that's all I done.many thanks.

This is the first post I'm doing, but I'm doing with a heavy heart. I do this not caring about trolls or people who might slate me.
Politicians are all scum, especially the ones in Britain, we now have a referendum in the UK now and all I can see is self interest. Europe has <deleted> the uk, but people still want to stay in. People forget all to quickly about the Kuwait war Iraq war Afghanistan war, where the french backed out. Sorry I'm trying to think who was there. Oh yeah I know (the Americans) or shall I say the Americans first then us.i know America has its problems, but by christ, I would rather be part of America than part of a cowardly Europe. Sorry if I have offended anyone.
