Correct. Although they are part of the EEA, not that either fact makes a difference to the point I was trying to correct!

I know my facts. Hope this helps: Before September 10, 2018: If you renewed your passport before the old one expired, the unexpired time (up to 9 months) would be added to the new passport's validity. After September 10, 2018: This practice ended, and passports issued after this date are valid for exactly 10 years. Why the change? This change aligned the UK with other countries, which generally issue passports with a maximum validity of 10 years. Impact on travel to the EU: Since the UK left the EU, British passports issued more than 10 years before travel to EU countries (except Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Lichtenstein and Switzerland) are no longer valid.

A great result. The beginning of the end for Musk, one would hope.

Not any more!! In fact, that stopped over 5 years ago.

No. It was an inspection of Walking Street (not Pattaya) and they found no evidence of prostitution on that night, which was not surprising as all the street hookers had vanished. Not that WS is popular for soliciting anyway, unlike Beach Road. The gogos and beer bars on Walking Street are not breaking any prostitution laws.

I agree. While Season 3 has been a slow burner, I can't wait for Sunday's 90-minute finale!

Of course. But don't most airlines have wifi these days?

An interesting read. It's all the Europeans' fault! https://mythailand.blog/2017/02/24/thailand-topless-women/

Another oft-repeated myth...🙄

Good question. Assuming that people who have not completed it are still allowed to board the flight at the point of departure, I would guess they will have to complete it in the arrivals area, just like they would have had to have done with the paper TM6. Or maybe, during the flight, cabin crew will go around checking that everyone has completed one and help those who have not (like they did with the paper TM6 cards)?

There are lots of agents who can deal with UK passport renewals and applications - including a sponsor of this Forum!

Absolutely! I love Vegas, so would be interesting to compare. My wife will love the slots!

Yes, I think @Batty has acknowledged that. His misfortune is for something to go very wrong with the processing in the UK and HMPO having no idea how UK passports are renewed for people who live in Thailand. I too hope he gets it sorted soon!

The King is very much a multi-faith King, as was made clear at his Coronation. The UK is a multi-cultural country and has a multi-faith population. Personally, I couldn't care less about having a King and favour a republic, but as Kings go, I'm happy with Charles.

Can they change the name back to Twitter?🙏

He had been wound up by online 'incel' videos (Andrew Tate is name-checked) and when rebuffed and mocked by the victim, he stabbed her.

I'd be very surprised if the 'story' continues. Personally, I hope they leave it. The story was not the point of the series.

Does anyone have a sample letter from a parent giving permission for the other parent to take their child overseas for a holiday (in English)? I'm sure I've seen one on here, but can't find it. Thanks.

Maybe it's a mistranslation and they mean "country of birth/origin"? In any case, if I can't enter Thailand (where I've lived for 20+ years, and where my son, who'll be travelling with me, has lived all is life) I guess I'll just enter our passport country.

Why would I? He got 40% of the vote (12,877,91 votes - one of which was mine) compared to May's 42.3% (13,636,684). In 2024, Starmer only got 33.7% (9,708,716).

I agree there is no such thing. However, the title of this thread and many of the posts, suggest some Americans really do believe it! 🤣

Nicely put. I have many American friends and like and respect them, as I'm sure I would you. At least they, and you, are not trying to claim that the USA is the greatest country in the world!

A great thread and debate. If Americans living in Thailand really believe that the USA is "the greatest" country in the world, why aren't they living there?🤭

If only Corbyn had won in 2017.

Yes, but it's not called a TM6 anymore - it's TDAC
