I meant in their wild environment. And I think you got the wrong meaning of the part of my post you are quoting. The member I was replying to said something about going on a $10,000 safari to Africa

Duuh, we are in Thailand not the US of A.

I also put that I do not want ANYONE at the after funeral party whom i have never met.

Cockpit, other chains, Makro. FB battery shop.

What was Capt Hook called before he met the Crocodile.

Same for me for Oct, Nov & Dec.But no discount for using less than 300 units as in May to August. So very little difference on the overall cost.

Yes you are correct.......in orange?

Obviously in Thailand as that's where the Mall was.

I know, I was just testing to see if there was anyone who would spot it, and pull me up. You win, thanks.

Clever Dick!

Until you decide to change it! 555

A definitive answer, thank you Mr Tops.

So lets get it straight. A UK passport does not have retinal scan details. It merely has facial measurements which the Thai camera image compares and if they match, you're in.

You can drop the 800k down to 400k after 3 months, and then top it back up 2 months before re-newal. Does this apply to you?

Happy to tell you that, at 76, I still have a full head of the stuff. Apparently it is the bones shrinking and spine getting shorter as age progresses.

That is why I qualified my statement with 'in UK' to convince some people that they cannot be on a UK ePassport.

Not entering Thailand?

According to Mr Bing, a UK passport's chip contains all facial dimensions BUT NOT a retinal scan. How can it if you have never had it taken? There is a company called IRIS which can do the scan and I believe put it in the chip. No fingerprints on the chip.

Sometimes.

It's probably measuring other parameters of your face. My passport photo is without specs, but I do not have to take them off to go through eGates. The Thai system is comparing the gate camera with the photo which they have taken and keep on file. But even so, there is no way the resolution from their camera, or on my Passport photo can reveal that finer detail. They have facial recognition abilities in a lot of countries, but none taking iris scan into consideration.

And on the subject of ID photos, I just re-newed my Thai driving licence, and the photo which they took is 50% of the shirt I was wearing. I asked the girl why, and she said those were the rules she had been given. Same on my Pink ID card.

There is no way that the resolution on a passport size photo can be used as a retina scan subject.

I never realised that 'Cloud Cuckoo Land' was here.

I was answering the member who suggested a trip to Africa. Read it again. And it would be a 7000 mile trip for me to get to San Diego, so no thanks, I'll go to the North Pole to see the penguins instead.

Correct, mine certainly doesn't (UK 2018) And it would only be any use if the country you are entering can access the database of your country. That's why Thailand, and other countries, have their own system.
