  1. It did not have my name on it. The money also got deducted very quickly (after a couple of days).
  2. I used a SCB debit card with no problem for my passport renewal.
  3. Definitely got to get myself one of those amulets.
  4. I had the same problem on Christmas day. No idea what upset them. Did the appeal thing with the head turning etc., About an hour later was told my appeal had been approved. Have no idea what caused the suspension. I assumed it was some glitch in their algorithm.
  5. No all fields were blank. Had to fill them in.
  6. Got a new UK passport while here. For the first 90 report I had to go in person to Jomtien. For the next 90 report, I did this online. No problems.
  7. The camera guy kept shouting Yoot, Yoot, to no avail. Maybe he should have said Cut to get their attention.
  8. I did and it informed me there was a problem with my birthday and nationality. Went into Krungsri the next morning and informed me the problem was that I was over 70.
  9. You are lucky. As I am over 70, this app option is not available for me with Krungsri.
  10. In Pattaya, told me my TM30 was not valid as I had a new passport. Had to renew.
  11. Maybe looking for a Pattaya pothole.
  12. 100 metres past soi 5 on Jomtien second road.
  13. No mention of insurance when I went to this branch.
  14. I opened an account at the Bangkok bank on Jomtien second road, next to soi 5, very close to immigration. It was a year ago, but very easy. Got my Certificate of Residence, then just walked a couple of hundred metres.
  15. Thought they should also be made aware of the problems. Also contacted HMPO with about eight emails. Just went round in circles.
  16. Haha, thought all that was gone. You can't keep a good Chinaman down.
  17. I did contact the British embassy in Bangkok, but got no reply. I did contact the British embassy in Bangkok, but no reply.
  18. Maybe she knows the Thai cops reputation. So, "till the end of the line" as the song says.
  19. At least she still has her kidneys and other body parts. It could have been worse.
  20. I just renewed my British passport using VFS Global in Bangkok. It took eleven weeks. A mate did his at the same time and it took nine weeks. In the UK, they used to renew passports in Liverpool, but now they do this in Corby. Think this might be the main problem, as they were unaware that we have to retain our passports in Thailand, thus the reason for photo coping all pages. In the end, I had to sign a paper saying I would return my lost passport if I found it. Sent many emails, but each team did not seem to realise what had gone on before. Reckon this will be my last passport renewal before I die, thank God. What a nightmare.
