What's left of today's bbq ribs, done in the oven as lazy to start the barbeque.

Salted almond brownies, l usually add a squeeze of lime when eating.

I received an email today saying my passport is ready collection in Chiang Mai. The docs were submitted 20th December. Maybe this gives anyone who is applying an approximate timeframe.

They are open, l got an email reply with their up to date price list. I did call the landline number as a follow up.

Closest Foodland near me is Ramintra and has never had it. Could you tell me the producer so I can ask. Thank you.

My son handed in the documents in Chiang Mai today and received email confirmation from VFS that it will be posted to HMPO. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for the help.

I am unsure how a local agent can get me a new passport. Correct me if I am wrong but does the agent apply on your behalf in the UK? I'm really unsure about procedures. I thought the 'interview' was for security purposes. I have collected passports for friends so l know that's possible.

I have just received a reply regarding the interview in Bangkok to renew my British passport. The earliest date is 12th Jan 22. I'm willing to travel to Chiang Mai as l want to do the interview asap. Does anyone have the VFS Chiang Mai email address as l can't find it online. (The phone number is the same as BKK and out of order) Many thanks.

I will go on Friday to their office as their telephone is not in service and no email response. VFS doesn't open daily according to google maps.

Many thanks, l will try this today. Can l ask, did you renew via VFS Bangkok? I have tried many times to call them and am still waiting for an appointment slot. Thanks.

Many thanks, yes I have a driving license (5 yes), I will check with immigration here in Bangkok. Thanks again.

I need to get a new British Passport, however I'm unsure how to provide proof of my address here in Bangkok. The utility bills are in my wife's name. Has anyone successfully got a new British passport recently? Thank you.

Kindly post a photo of the loaf Kenny, I often get inspired reading this section of Thaivisa. Cheers.

Thank you very much, so upon receiving my new passport I go to immigration for the remaining months of the 1 year visa stamped at no additional cost?

My retirement visa runs out 16 November 2021 but l just realized my UK passport runs out 22nd March 2022. Will I get new visa until my passport runs out or can l get a new stamp in my new passport? Can l send my passport via DHL to someone in the UK who can then apply on my behalf to make the process faster? Thank you for any guidance.

Im curious as to your point. What are you looking for?

I saw some mackerel (I think as a shiny blue back) though smaller in the market. Didn't pick any up but may if anyone has any ways to cook it. I thought of grilling....any other ways or recipes? As a kid I remember it was full of bones and would catch 5 or 6 on a line of feathers. Cheers.

Thanks Mark. I renewed my 5 year driving license at Chatuchak today. Arrived 07:15am outside building 4. Right hand tent for foreigners (maximum 20) and only 12 waiting when DLT staff arrived 08:00am. I hadn't watched the video so watched it on my phone, video is 60 minutes, but it stops intermittently with a couple of questions. Passed the test questions at the end and went inside for a queue number. Had to do color test and brake test only. Up and down a couple of floors with paperwork, then waited around for license and left at 09:50am.

I'm going tomorrow for renewal of 5 years driving license in Chatuchak BKK. My wife finally got through and was told only the first 20 applications for foreigners. The lady said need to watch a video online first. Then they can give me a new license in 5 minutes. Is this video in an app does anyone know? And which app as there are several. (The operator hung up the phone before we could ask)

Yes l have tried all the usual places. Foodland used to have it but stopped restocking it.

Please check if they have heavy/double cream. If so, I'll drive from BKK. Thanks.

Alexi, could you please share which DLT office you attended? Thank you.

Thank you, Ive only found Granny Smiths here, never found a Bramley yet. Doubt I'll ever find a crab apple..

Trying to keep this thread going... Had some Granny Smiths so a simple apple and oats crumble using brown sugar.
