Pretty much the entire media reporting of the issue in the UK is disgraceful. Anyone would think there's an election coming.

I wonder how long UK passports will stay at The Trendy?

Then she should be convicted in a UK court and locked up. The key can be thrown away for all I care. I think you have missed the point!

She's a fool and was a dangerous fool who deserves to be punished. But making her stateless is wrong and a purely political decision. I have faith that the UK Supreme Court will overrule.

Perhaps if Australia, UK and USA gave Thais visa-free entry, Thailand might relax entry requirements for them as well. But seeing as they already get 30 days + 30 days, or 60 days + 30 days with a visa, it's unlikely Thailand will be even more generous when there is zero reciprocity.

I suspect the Supreme Court will overrule again. I hope so. She deserves punishment but it should be handed out in a court of law, not by disgraceful politicians.

Give them time, they're probably busy.

All good. A diverse multi-cultural society is ideal. How boring it would be if we all assimilated.

Wai away. If you're not Thai it really doesn't matter whether you get it "right" or not.

Didn't people have the same crises about books in the 18th/19th century, TV in the 1950s/1960s, then video games in the 1970s/1980s etc. Things change.

Go to Immigration and do it in person.

Hopefully.

There are plenty of international schools to choose from, with a wide range of fees, but it depends on where you're going to be living. As well as the academic/English requirements for your son, pick a school that is nearby. Having a 1-2 hour journey every morning/afternoon is not recommended.

Ah, right. I forgot that. I guess as they're a charity, they may make the rules.

Rarely. Most are commuted by HM. The last one was in 2018 (lethal injection).

Why is PDA not an option? It's scalpel-free, cheap and they're the specialists.

Hopefully the OP has read all the comments and is already winging his way to BKK to submit his passport renewal application! There is still time.

As Sheryl mentioned in the other, now closed, thread, making the short trip to PDA in Bangkok may be worthwhile. I had it done there a couple of years ago. Very quick and easy, in and out in an hour, and only a 5,000 'donation' required. https://pda.or.th/en/contact-us/

Maybe he's saying Thais are 'childlike'. Something that many people find endearing about them.

Indeed it is; it's the Thai way!

I'm sure you've made some good points, but the lack of paragraphing doesn't make me want to try to read what you've written.

25c all night.

Once or twice a week. I try to limit eating it as it's full of sugar, sodium/MSG.

Good news about the same-sex marriage bill, though. 👏

If that's what you're after, it's easily done.
