If it turns out this is only a British thing (which is what other nationalities of course are hoping for) is there nothing British expats can do to elevate this issue back in the British press and government? If it's only a British thing, then the British government is creating hardships for it's own citizens. If other embassies have a way to deal with Thai immigration requirements, what's the British excuse? 

No. There are only standing place (no chairs) and no cover.
 
The queue got worse.

 

I was replying to post No. 2 by a Canadian who found virtually the same denial is going to be imposed by the Canada embassy. Since then, Americans, Aussies and other Canadians have chipped in. And, if you haven't read most of the posts, the change has been sparked by Thai immigration, so it likely applies to many nationalities. 

Then it should have been announced on their website

Sparked by British embassy.

No, what Immigration are saying is that income verification letters issued by an Embassy are no longer acceptable.   My understanding is that Immigration now require proof of either 4/800,000 baht on deposit for the required period, or minimum 40/65,000 baht/month being credited to a Thai account, neither of which any Embassy could provide verification for, only your bank could do that.   My question would be, for what period would you have to show the monthly credit for, i.e. the previous 12 months, or as in the case of the lump sum, 3 months.

The price was increased to 2K this year I believe. Can't remember what it was before, but it was a pittance compared to 2000 baht.

They were rounded up. Most went to Pataya where there is no shortage and good riddance

It's possible they actually increased it to 2K to deter people from using that method of income verification. What are the odds of having your (possibly false) stat dec being challenged, and subsequently charged?

Read my reply I did say he said all .
you are so wrong about lady’s with dark skin, ok I agree with the tattoo side of it . My thai was not great at English when I meet her , but you know some girls do lean English in thai schools, and some lean it on YouTube, like I lean thai with YouTub.
it’s not a fact , you have your facts so wrong.

maybe a scam in the Aussie scenario, but the Brit Embassy wants 3 months bank copies of my statements as to my pension income,

Interesting though not another single country has made an announcement. It's starting to sound a bit like the brits are understaffed or they are not making enough income or they can't be bothered

With the oz embassy charging 2k to witness a signature it's unlikely they will relinquish that cash cow any time soon unless by force

Let's face it, the letter of income, or signing a statutory declaration, as is the case with the Aussie embassy, in a lot of cases is a scam, and taking advantage of a loophole which allows those with insufficient funds or income to remain in Thailand.

With a huge spike over the years in vegan and vegetarians this does not surprise me one bit

I bet most of the female CM Backpackers end up there

I told my wife about this and her reaction was "We're up here" (in Kalasin). In other words, it has nothing to do with her/us so she just doesn't care. And that is probably the attitude of most Thais. If it doesn't concern them directly they aren't interested, be it tourists being gunned down or who is elected to what position in the USA. They are happy in their own little bubble.

 
Google Thai student street fights and see what comes up.

Maybe not big fighters but they are WELL KNOWN to be cowards in all meaning of the word. so if they are 5 or 6 or even 10-12 people they will NOT hesitate to bombard you with kicks in the head stomach and maybe even put e knife inside you...  
 
Just be care full here i Asia and particularly in LOC (land of cowards)

More bad news that will scare off tourists, chinese and indians included.  The international media has also well publicized this disastrous incident in downtown Bangkok.
 
This is where the Thai Police should do it's job...instead of harassing expats and retirees on their visa extensions or other bureaucratic hassles.

Would have thought at least one would have survived at the back using the bodies up front as a cushion.

Sounds more like a plane crash. RIP

It's Thailand's own fault for never enforcing their own rules, even on their own citizens. I guess foreigners stand out and are easy targets. Whatever they put in place just makes it harder for genuine visa/extension holders to live here, but will barely dent the numbers of foreigners flying under the radar. 

I wouldn't be too sure about that, people have had their ticket void for that reason.

I want something that’s gonna make my member hard as a rock, or I guess that depends on the dosage ?

 

Yes.  It doesn't allow name changes.
