    I think as the cars are all private the drivers use their cars for extra income but they are not making as much they thought they would mostly due to the congestion in central Pattaya. We have been stuck in traffic a few times but the driver didn’t ask for more than the agreed fare. One was also a motor bike taxi driver, after being stuck in congestion for nearly an hour he said he was going to dump the car at home and go out on his bike.

    Because they have some nearer than you, they can select their pick ups.

    A lot of the Bolt taxis use the sat nav, some know the rat runs to avoid the congestion, we went to Pratunmack Beach the other week from near Klang with a Bolt taxi, it took over 40 minutes yet the fare was only 110 baht, the driver could have avoided the congestion on 3rd road but stuck to his sat nav. On the way back the driver knew all the rat runs so avoided all the congestion, less than 10 minutes.

    Yes, my Dad worked on a farm and we ate rabbit, hare and wood pigeon I mentioned this to my Thai partner, she turned up her nose, I said what do Thai people eat, rat, road kill, what’s the difference.

    I have seen wood pigeon breasts on the menu in U.K. restaurants, tbh they are very nice, you need 2 though.

    I used Thailand Post to send documents to the U.K., arrived ok,, the Post Office give you a tracking number. I would advise always to send track and trace as i was sent stuff before and I never received them.

    Correct the agent have an an agreement so they collect your passport, only issue I would think is it might get lost in the post when sending to Key Visa and possibly when they send the new one.

    Not collapsed just loads of customers.

    Key Visa can do it via post,

    I think it’s because the money has to be in GBP so there is no issues with fluctuating exchange rates of different currencies.

    No idea as I used my own, the owner was a U.K. citizen so I assume he had one, the business is still ongoing but I believe being run by his partner, you would need to enquire with them.
  12. Jumbo1968
    Call them or send them an email.

    Key Visa can renew your passport irrespective of where you live in Thailand. https://www.keyvisathailand.com/services/renewing-uk-passport-thailand/

    The agent I used to renew my sons said they would use their credit card if you didn’t have one and you paid them the cash. I suppose you could use a friends or relatives cards and give them the cash ?

    A friend countersigned it here in Thailand, he is retired and living here.

    Key Visa in Pattaya can do it, you don’t need to visit the office all done by post.

    One on Klang near the traffic lights at 3rd road, recognisable by the 2 round holes in the window, they take test through holes, amazing how they cut the holes in a shop window with breaking the whole window, can’t have been toughened glass.

    The bill isn’t going to go through Parliament before the election, the consensus of opinion no matter who wins it will be watered down making cannabis only legal for medical purposes but how they would enforce that we don’t know.

    Ban the sale of water pistols, jail if caught using one, ban standing in a truck with a barrel full of ice, water, jail if caught and alcohol ban for a week, dream on !

    From what I know the girls in the office do all the leg work, I believe one has worked there for 15 years.

    Key Visa, Pattaya.

    Off topic, VFS Global require a DNA Test for child’s first Passport, I did our sons first Passport at VFS Global and a DNA Test wasn’t required ?
  23. Jumbo1968
    Why do you need proof of address, when I renewed my sons here we didn’t provide that ?
  24. Jumbo1968
    I used Key Visa for our sons renewal, I live in Pattaya, no trips to Bangkok required, completed application form, 2 photos and Passport, plus the Passport renewal fee, separate payment form with details of debit card/credit card. I can’t remember what Key Visa fee was

    I never advocated not wearing a mask, just the quality.
