My wife was in the same situation, trying to renew her British passport when she was told the rules regarding surnames had changed.

She decided to wait until the covid situation in Thailand got easier before going back home to sort it out. Meanwhile she wrote a letter to the UK passport office saying it was difficult to change her surname at this moment in time either by going to Thailand or by doing it through power of attorney.

The passport office agreed and sent her a new UK passport. Maybe they're softening the rules at the moment due to the pandemic.

I remember when it was all fields...Well it had a very laid back bungalow resort on it, full of mostly Germans and their Thai partners, until about 2000. It was one of the many green and natural areas that was once in the area (like the field in 1991 with one beer bar in it where Kiss Food and Drink is now) which have all been turned into concrete. They were the relaxing and fun days of Pattaya. Glad I am out of there now... Too bad it had to change in such a dramatic way...

I think that resort was called the Palm villa. 

If we registered now wouldn't the authorities ask questions, why come to us 22 years after the event?

My wife and I got married 22 years ago in the UK but she never registered the marriage in Thailand.  If she registered it now would there be problems?

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll suggest it to her.

My wife owns 8 rai of farmland in Korat province. She allowed her brother to work the land and he registered it with the SPK. Now she wants the land back to sell and he is refusing to hand it back. My wife still has the original papers that her mother gave her from the PBT.

Has she got any chance of getting her land back?

It didn't take long for the crazies to make an appearance.

Has anyone got a motorbike taxi from the Central Pattaya area to Pattaya United's stadium? I was wondering what it would cost.

There is some information here - http://metropattaya.blogspot.com/2010/09/derek-adams-rip.html

Derek took over what was called the Bike Shop and renamed it Mad Micks Bar - Where the plain insane meet!

Early 1993 it was.

Ah happy days...

RIP mate. I still can't believe you're gone. Soi Yamato won't be the same without you, that's for sure.

Thanks for that.

Does anyone know if there is a Thai massage school in Korat?

Thanks,

Mark

My wife has both British & Thai passports. The Thai one has a stamp in confirming that her surname has been changed to mine.

She has just applied for a new Thai passport at Queens Gate. They told her that they do not endorse the new biometric passports with the surname change stamp, so it was issued in her Thai name, which is what she wants anyway.

Also she doesn't want to change her name on her Thai ID as she says that she will lose her rights to own/buy land etc.

So my question is can she have two passports, a British one in her married name, and a Thai one in her maiden name?

Will this cause problems when buying air tickets to Thailand?

Thailand are competing at the Baseball World Cup that is currently being played in Taiwan.

Walg, I've read your posts but you don't say you know 100% that she is seeing someone else.

I was suspicious once that my missus was seeing another man. She was coming home from work late and when I asked her why she would give me a load of old fanny that I knew was b/s.

So, I got someone to follow her for a couple of weeks. All she was doing was going out with her workmates for coffee or a drink.

I never told her that I had her followed, but I wondered why she wouldn't tell me the truth. It's not like I would have minded, but to come home from work late and give soppy reasons why got me suspicious, in the end for nothing.

Check first that she is seeing someone else.

Pattaya: Tarts "n" Taxis'.

the interesting thing to find out would be what would have happened if HE invited a thai girl he just met to stay at their bed? would that have been the final straw for her too?

might be worth a study

Well, he has just come back from Pattaya, and i believe according to his wife, has found himself a new "companion".

Another Thai-Farang couple we know have just split.

According to him, the final straw was when she invited to stay (in their one-bed flat) a Thai man who she had only just met !

He said to me something like, "this is our home, not her village."

Have you got any facts to support that "racism is rife in the UK"? I don't believe it is. Yeah, you will always get the odd fracas etc and everybody puts it down to racism but that doesn't warrant the word "rife". What is it called when two whites fight each other?

White on black assult is a racist crime.

Black on white assult is a motiveless crime.

Yet another half are just media influenced (look at the peadophile!)

Paedo-hysteria is rife here in the UK. - Only last week i was walking down the road with my daughter when some boy-racers drove past shouting out "paedophile"!

I couldn't believe it. I'm 35 and my daughter is seven, so what must it be like for men with younger wives.

My sister-in-law sent the missus a parcel from Korart on 21 july. It arrived here in London on 25th - That's FOUR days !

It cost B794.00.

BTS = Skytrain

MRT = Subway/Tube

1. The bar owner fills the bar up with women so that he/she can profit from the bar fines.

2. The bar owner fills the bar up with women so that he/she can profit from the beer sales that will be earned from the customers drawn in.

Now, which one of these best decribes Soi Yodsak?

I think you have to catch the bus from Mor Chit to get to Ayutthaya.
