The max 8 and max 9 are different planes, and the FAA did not recently ground the max 8 only the max 9. “Boeing's 737 MAX program currently operates two variants, the MAX 8 and MAX 9. The MAX 8 is the most popular in the max family, with 1,176 aircraft currently in service and at least 1,971 more on order. This aircraft variant is certified and fitted to fly. The main difference between the MAX 8 and MAX 9 is that the MAX 9 is longer, measuring 138 ft. 4 in. (42.16 m), while the MAX 8 measures 129 ft. 8 in. (39.52 m). According to Boeing's specifications, the MAX 8 can seat about 162 to 178 passengers. The MAX 9, the largest in the family, can seat 178 to 193 passengers, with a maximum of 220 depending on the configuration.” The max 8 previously had problems following two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019, and the FAA grounded the plane for 20 months and mandated significant software and training improvements. Lion Air Flight 610 on October 29, 2018 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 on March 10, 2019. That grounding ended on November 18, 2020. Thai VietJet Air have also ordered 50, 737 max aircraft, unconfirmed variant, during the 2022 Farnborough Airshow. The first 12 aircraft to be delivered is expected in 2024.

Jonny, this has to be a first, I agree 100 % with your post. 55555

Not the best way to do PR. Just release a factual statement in reply and move on. This just brings it back into the public view and always the chance it gets picked up by international media.

That is good, seems the school has shown some sense, given the situation, and you can complete everything by email.

So again you ignore the facts and state IMO, like only you know the truth. Is the government lying or is it a conspiracy, only you can see? Or do you have a different agenda? I see why you posted the other day, you only listen and talk to yourself. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7783/#:~:text=How many NHS staff are,staff with a known nationality. https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-7783/CBP-7783.pdf

Yes fully agree with you. I assumed that the body had been transported/moved from another area to Bangkok, from reading the original post , so the police seemed to have requested an autopsy. ” His body is now in Bangkok, mum and I are situated in the North East. The funeral will probably be near Pattaya”

Here is the link to the UK embassy Bangkok, it shows this, “Certified copies of UK birth, death, marriage or degree/educational certificates Thai authorities require documents issued outside of Thailand to be authenticated. The only UK authority permitted to provide this service is the Legalisation Office of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. Legalising a signature or seal Legalisation is the official confirmation that a signature, seal or stamp on an official public document is genuine. UK public documents such as birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates can be legalised by the UK government in the UK. This is also known as an apostille.” https://www.gov.uk/guidance/notarial-and-documentary-services-guide-for-thailand#certified-copies-of-UK-birth @brewsterbudgen is correct, this is the correct information, from the UK embassy, hence the UK government. (Note the .gov.uk) You obviously have little or no dealings with the UK embassy.

The death certificate is issued by the amphur. You normally get a police letter to show at the amphur office and the death is registered and certificate issued. I have found the temple wants a copy of this for a cremation.I have attached below a example of a death certificate, I found online. If you get someone to collect the body for you, I believe that they will need to named in the consular latter, showing they are authorised to collect his body. The last time I collected a body from Bangkok Police Hospital, I was named on the UK embassy consular release letter, as I was not the NOK. I really think you should consider, in your circumstance, using a funeral director to arrange and sort everything, it may seem more expensive, but will save you all the running around.@ lopburi3 posted a good link to some funeral directors yesterday or you can use the uk embassy link to find one. https://find-a-professional-service-abroad.service.csd.fcdo.gov.uk/find/funeral-directors?country=Thailand

You raise a good point. @ChicagoExpat link above shows that an e-Apostille is possible in the UK.

Fully agree with you, the links to what the embassy will do, have been provided, some including yourself have spoke of their own experiences, and still some posters can not accept facts! Dunning Kruger effect is strong with some on this forum. 55555

To keep the temple costs to a minimum, try to avoid having his body at the temple overnight. Book the cremation and undertaker for the same day as transport from the hospital. Remember the temple will want a death certificate from the amphur, where you register the death. Ask for the minimum at the temple, as suggested by @jvs. Do you or did your father have any friends in Pattaya, that can visit a few temples to get a price, as they do vary. Take the consular letter and police report, from where he died, to the Bangkok hospital, to have the body released. A coffin from the hospital is normally about 5000 baht up, depending what you choose. I have never seen the 30 days storage being free, and have seen people charged between 200 and 400 baht per day, depending on the hospital. Below are 2 links to body donation in Bangkok, but reading through the conditions, seems first link says the deceased must have been under 65 years old, second link says body donated not more than 24 hours after death. Contact them and they may be able to help or advise you. https://chulalongkornhospital.go.th/kcmh/en/body-and-organ-donations/ https://anatomy.sc.mahidol.ac.th/old/bodydonation.htm

Sorry for your loss. Have you looked at the embassy guidance, it may help answer a few questions. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/what-to-do-after-a-british-person-dies-in-thailand If his body is in Bangkok, it has gone for an autopsy. You need to get a consular letter from the UK embassy, which is for the NOK (next of kin) or to someone nominated by NOK, to have the hospital to release his body. This can be done by email. Recent example below, I have blocked personal details. You will also need to get a police report for both the hospital and the amphur, to register the death and get the death certificate. Death certificate is required by temple for cremation. The hospital in Bangkok, I expect it is the police hospital, will charge you for the autopsy, transport of the body if you don’t do yourself, coffin if you do not provide one and storage of the body by the day. If the body is not claimed in 30 days, the hospital may contact the embassy for a pauper cremation. Cremation costs in Pattaya vary from temple to temple. Costs can be keep down by having the cremation the same his body is transported from the hospital. After cremation you can collect his ashes. Sorry have no experience of medical donation.

55555 Please accept my apologies, thought you were questioning my links, which were from UK embassy government site. Yes agree apostille is not the same as going to the local Thai translation shop and just getting a certified copy stamp.

Very good link. Says there are 2 types of apostille available, so OP needs to confirm if electronic type is acceptable to the school in Mexico. That would solve his issues if he can email. “They can either be: paper-based - you’ll need to send your documents by post (or submit them in person, if you’re a registered business) electronic - known as an ‘e-Apostille’, you’ll need to upload your documents as PDF files that have been electronically signed by a UK notary or solicitor”

... the Kiwi... He has continued to show support for both Hamas and the Houthis, so how was my statement be an insult??

That is not what the OP is talking about, and a Thai Company can not do it. I suggest you read the thread, and google Hague Convection and what is an apostille certificate.

Sorry, but where in any of my posts have I said it is just a notarisation of a signature. I posted above the links to the embassy website, which states it can not be done by the consulate and needs to be done in the UK. What happens in the USA has no relevance to this thread, as he states he is from the UK. Before replying, please read what I said and open the link, then you will see the facts and limits of getting this sorted. It is not a service offered by the UK embassy and a Thai agency can not do it, as not part of the Hague Convention.

Wish you luck, it does seem a bit of a pain in the a##.

Yes there is from this link. “Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport On arrival at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport there are cash machines and exchange booths airside and again once you clear arrivals. The exchange booths are convenient, but the rate is normally lower than you will get at other locations in Bangkok. “ https://fanclubthailand.co.uk/where-is-the-best-place-to-change-money-into-thai-baht/#:~:text=On arrival at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi,at other locations in Bangkok. She I believe, will not be able to stay airside, will have to clear immigration and then go to domestic terminal. Check in will depend, if single ticket booking, or done online with Bangkok Airways. If it is a single ticket with Bangkok Airways or partner airline, her luggage should not need to be collected, but best to check on initial check in. https://www.bangkokair.com/codeshare-partner

If it is an international flight, she will have to clear immigration in BKK, as I believe not possible at Trat. Have a look at this link. http://www.connectionreview.com/blog/flight-connections-at-bankgok-international-airport-suvarnabhumi-46#:~:text=The minimum connection time for,the International to International transfer).

Think @Foxx got ir right, it is not a service provided by UK embassy. No Thai lawyer or government can do it, as Thailand is not part of the Hague convention.

More support for favourite terrorists.

Looking at this link a UK document has to be done in Uk. https://www.reuterssolicitors.com/what-is-an-apostille-and-when-is-it-needed/ Also it does seem to be on the list of services offered by UK embassy, but would be worth contacting them to confirm. Taken from embassy link below. “Certified copies of UK birth, death, marriage or degree/educational certificates Thai authorities require documents issued outside of Thailand to be authenticated. The only UK authority permitted to provide this service is the Legalisation Office of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. Before arriving in Thailand you are advised to get your UK certificates legalised before you travel. If you are already in Thailand you will need to follow the 3-step legalisation process as described in Legalising a signature or seal.” “Legalising a signature or seal Legalisation is the official confirmation that a signature, seal or stamp on an official public document is genuine. UK public documents such as birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates can be legalised by the UK government in the UK. This is also known as an apostille.” https://www.gov.uk/guidance/notarial-and-documentary-services-guide-for-thailand Could you send it to someone in the UK, to be completed and forward for you to Mexico?

My advice is now not fully correct, as the OP has changed the details of the length of stay. Can still enter visa exempt and get an extension, just to an address report. Impossible to help, when someone either tries to hid or is incapable of posting the full details.
