    It's a Lao website address and refers to VFS in Vientiene. That said, VFS/HMPO are likely to have the same policies in all Asian countries. As @benlovesnuksays, you should follow the gov.uk instructions. A DNA test is certainly not a requirement for a child's first UK passport. https://www.passport.service.gov.uk/overseas/information/thailand/first/child/thailand

    That's for Laos and is very badly written. The HMPO website makes no reference to a DNA test being required for a child's first UK passport, and unless it's changed very recently, it certainly wasn't required when I got my child's first UK passport in Bangkok. https://www.passport.service.gov.uk/overseas/information/thailand/first/child/thailand

    Yes. Progressive countries like the UK have allowed people to change the gender shown on their birth certificate since 2004. I don't think Thailand does, but once the new government are in office I would expect it to change.

    In Thailand you can only do the A1 IELTS Life Skills test at either IDP or The British Council. Unfortunately, I think both only have UKVI approved Test Centres in Bangkok.

    As long as you have all the required documentation, translated into English if in Thai, and counter-signed photographs, then I'm sure you can. The child doesn't need to be present. Will you give your UK address as the child's address? I might be missing something, so see what others suggest.

    The 12,000 includes the price of the passport and their fee.

    You quoted Webfact's post. Learn how to use the quote system, if you don't want people to misinterpret your posts.

    That's not what you wrote; you were replying to this post: "Others shared harrowing accounts of being coerced into sex work and compelled to consume drugs against their will."
  9. brewsterbudgen
    Anything between 5,000 - 10,000 baht.
  10. brewsterbudgen
    Do you honestly believe that the average Pattaya bargirl has been trafficked and compelled to consume drugs against her will? You should take your evidence to the authorities!
  11. brewsterbudgen
    No. Good luck if you want to start one.
  12. brewsterbudgen
    I would think so. Heterosexuals are the majority and don't need to campaign for equal rights (any more).
  13. brewsterbudgen
    I agree. My 8-year-old has never had the Covid vaccine and no one has convinced me he should!

    Isn't the freedom to marry a civil right? Same-sex partners are not treated equally in Thailand.
  15. brewsterbudgen
    I'm sorry but if you think British pantomimes, Lily Savage et al have no innuendo, you can't have seen them!
  16. brewsterbudgen
    The comment I replied to was about drag queens. Hyper-sexualised content can be found everywhere and is not restricted to drag queens.
  17. brewsterbudgen
    Why not? Drag queens are part of British pantomime tradition, as are people like Danny La Rue, Lily Savage and Dame Edna.

    Decent cheese and halfway decent wine are just two things that have to be purchased, irrespective of the cost. I couldn't live without them.

    Maybe he's still there!

    Anyway, back on topic.... Will there be Pride events and celebrations in other parts of Thailand or is it just Bangkok? ????
  21. brewsterbudgen
    And banned for life ????

    Strange question. My wife is 30 years younger than me, and our son is 8 years old. If my son was my daughter, no, it wouldn't feel like I was dating my daughter. I don't date 8 year olds.
  23. brewsterbudgen
    It's incorrect but 'safe', advice. Thailand does not have a 6-month validity rule as has already been pointed out, but many airlines either don't know this or have their own rules! I went through this in detail with the UK Embassy who were insisting my son needed a new passport or wouldn't be allowed to enter Thailand, as he had 4 months remaining. Fortunately I took advice from this Forum and he was admitted without issue.

    Is it better to send the Life cert via DHL or similar?
