Thanks, that’s a good flag about the return of the old passport. I had assumed, like yourself, that they would be returned together; however, I will be back there for a month and intended to make a prior appointment for a couple of days after I get back, so should be safe. I prefer to keep my marriage extension as it is; it has worked well enough for the last 6 years doing it ourselves, and you know what they say about something that isn’t broken, but thanks for the heads up.

Thanks, and yes, I was aware it is at Western gateway. Custom House Station on two different train services.

Sentence all of them to one year in Phuket

Islam; we will conquer using our most powerful tool, the womb.

Thanks; yes, I can use the one week service for an extra fee and get an appointment prior to getting back, and I am near London which helps (Freedom pass on the train)

Thanks Jack and also thanks to Upnotover and Crossy. It was what I was hoping for, and it is logical, but being Thailand I needed to check; yes I have read some of the stories about renewing from here which is why I want to do it when I get back to London Many thanks 🙏

My passport expires in November next year (2026) I am going back to the UK in October this year, and I will obviously get a re-entry permit in my current passport before I go (NON-IMM based on marriage) I am thinking of using the one week service to renew my passport while I am there, but I do not know how that effects my return to Thailand with the re-entry permit if I do. Will I be able to enter on my new passport showing the re-entry permit in the old passport or not. I understand that if I can, I will need to go to immigration later and have all my stamps transferred to my new passport, which I have done before; but if getting a new one will cause issues, I can wait and get a new one from here next year … thanks for any advice.

Hands like shovels, five-o-clock shadow, knobbly knees, and look like a lipstick pig-in-a-wig …… shouldn’t be too difficult even for an extreme lefty to spot.

And what exactly did the previous US administration, and the rest of Europe for that matter, do to end the conflict in Ukraine …. oh, wait a minute, they’ve only had 3 years; probably not long enough for sleepy Joe to find Ukraine on the map, or for the EU to pass legislation through the minefield of bureaucracy in Brussels.

Sorry, but I am not sure because my wife says there have been conflicting reports regarding his nationality. I don't think he has been to the police to report the incident, which is when we would find out for sure.

The tariffs have taken effect already

So, the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Brunei and Japan, all state publicly that they are extremely unhappy with China’s claim of the nine-dash-line, and some of them with the accompanying harassment of their fishing industries, but you have insider knowledge that they are only kidding and are really happy with Chinese expansionism. …… you seem to have morphed into a total fantasist

Thanks, some valid points, but of course as you say yourself, the muslims in Singapore are mostly indigenous; same with Hong Kong, where the majority of muslims are Indonesian and Chinese. However, this ignores the elephant in the room, which is mass Islamic migration into Europe; and just naming Sweden and the UK as having broken societies is very selective. Maybe have a look at the fractured societies of France and Germany, two countries that have been on the receiving end of much of the imported terrorism. You may find it difficult to tell me any country in Europe where multiculturalism that involves muslims is working. As you say, Trump, despite his faults, is addressing this important issue in the US, something that is not unfortunately happening in my country, the UK.

It is

I don't often find myself in agreement with you, but happy to say when I do; excellent comment
