I was advised to try this forum. I generally help people if I can, and thats all I ask. Sorry if this has upset the apple cart. Just trying to gain some knowledge on the subject and find out what has happened to a family member.
My condolences and I wish you succeed in finding your father.
Hopefully you have got some advice which will be useful to you.
As for the trolls with a poor sense of humour ?, unfortunately on this forum there are a lot of people who think they are extremely funny, whatever the subject matter !!- 8

Not sure of why 3 visits ?? But it’s almost 2 years when I did mine.Thanks Andrew. I will have a go myself despite my lawyer suggesting it could take up to 3 visits to get the translation agreed! He would like me to pay 4K for him to handle that part...Was really easy, Embassy appointment which was quick and easy and then off to MFA, left the documents there with a lady at the counter, paid the money and they posted them on.
I don’t remember exactly what copies they requested but we did them at the MFA so probably passport copies etc etc .
EDIT: just had a quick look and the copies were 2 passport copies, boarding card and my gf’s blue book ( not sure if that was required at MFA maybe just in with the other stuff ), recommend you take all the documents with you that you might need.
I just remembered that while we were there my gf called the Amphur with a question and they then said “ oh and we need a certified copy and translation of your birth certificate also “. [emoji35]
Luckily I had an original birth certificate with me and the Amphur said that just a translation would do !! So got one done along with the passport.
I believe the birth certificate is because they want your parents names translated, but not 100% sure .
Looks like it was 1,150 baht at Embassy and 450 baht at MFA .

Hi again, I read on the British Embassy website that " AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT4.You may need to get your certified copytranslated into ThaiThe authority that has requested the certified copywill inform you if your affirmation needs to be translatedin to Thai. Go to any translation agency. There are translation services available at the Legalisation Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (see next step 5) "
The next step is just the address of the MOFA at Chaaeng Wattana. I am happy to go there myself since I am free in the next few weeks and will get my lawyer to do the translation beforehand. He wants 4K to go to MOFA... Would you recommend I pay him to go to MOFA or do that part myself? I'm used to standing in queues at the Imiigration Department:)
I did it myself, they can post it on to you by EMS.
But then again I live north of Bangkok ( Ayutthaya ) so after the Embassy I called in at MFA, it was on my way home. -
Thank you for this link. I now have an appointment next week at the British Embassy. The Thailand MOFA to follow it seems, for a Thai translation...
Yes that is correct, I did exactly that then my Amphur started adding on “ extras “ , birth certificate, decree nisi !!
Hopefully you won’t have any more docs to certify and translate , good luck . -
OCD is a better diagnosis, but you should also know that in most Western countries where recycling is done mechanically by computer programmed video and jets of air they ask that plastic bottles, soda/beer cans and cartons should not be crushed. The video/computer has a harder time recognizing the item to be recycled and the programmed jets of air are not as effective in the separation process as the objects move along the conveyor belt. Not sure what the recycling process is performed here.
Initially I wasn’t crushing the plastic bottles, just chucked them in a big bag. The first thing that the recycling guy did was crush them before weighing. So now I crush them, helps with storage.- 1

I do the same as the op , crush the plastic bottles and put them in a big bag round the back for the recycling guy. Also glass bottles are stored for recycling.
Bought a big flip top bin and black bin bags so now the waste ( usually lotus or Big C bags from the kitchen bin ) are tied up and put in the bigger bin outside.
Waste removal comes early Sat and Tues, I tie up the black bag and put it in my bunker.
Maybe I’m OCD( actually I think I am ) but my bunker is clean and easy for the collection guys to handle. Next doors if full of trash, small bags untied, plastic bottles etc etc and stinks to high heaven !!- 1

As KK notes, I just purchased 3 sims with pre-paid 4 MBPS for 1 year on Lazada for B1790 each, which works out to B150 per month. They arrived quickly and I went to True with my phone and my daughters' phones and got the SIMS registered and installed. I already had 2 sims, one for phone calls and 1 for data, so I just changed the CAT data sim with the new True sim. The woman at True confirmed the 1 year contract term and the 4 MBPS speed of the service. My daughters both have iPhones, so they now have new numbers as their old numbers with CAT could not be transferred to the new True sims. Everything else works perfectly, including Line and all of the apps on their phones. They are both very pleased with the quality of the service, but as they get older I expect that keeping their present number will become more/very important. A very good deal, I think, if you can accept a change in phone number on the new sim.
Yup, a good deal indeed, I have the same ( 4 mbps True unlimited valid for 1 year).
Bought mine from Lazada also and registered 1st Jan.
I bought 2 , one for me and gf , paid 2,490 baht ( 1,245 each ). Looks like they have increased in price, but still a good deal. -
Did he in fact remove the sim, delete data and change the language? I read the article from the OP and didn’t see that info. Did I miss it? Where are you getting it from?
Can’t find the link that I originally read , but here’s a similar one.
Of course it’s now all a question of who ( or which newspaper) do you believe but just the fact that he took the phone back to his hostel without looking for somewhere to hand it in is suspicious in itself.

At the National Art Gallery in Dublin, a husband and wife were staring at a portrait that had them completely confused. The painting depicted three black men totally naked, sitting on a bench.
Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in the middle had a pink penis. The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his personal assessment.
He went on for over half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of African Americans in a predominately white patriarchal society . "In fact", he pointed out, "some serious critics believe that the pink penis also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society".
After the curator left, an Irishman approached the couple and said, "Would you like to know what the painting is really about?"
"Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the gallery", asked the couple?
"Because I am the artist, who painted the picture", he replied, "In fact, there are no African Americans depicted at all.
They're just three Irish coal miners. The guy in the middle went home for lunch"- 1
