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.

The need for an autopsy will depend on many different circumstances, and the UK embassy do not always request one is performed, but it is rare not to have one performed if not a death in hospital or known accident. Below is a recent UK consular release letter, i helped get, for a death at home, and no autopsy was done. Personal information has been blocked out. The letter is presented to the police and hospital to get the death certificate, issued at amphur, and body released for cremation. Death certificate is then used to inform bank, by NOK.

Hungary is on the list of countries for visa exempt entry, 30 days. So no visa required, unless their is some problems with a previous history.

Happy for anyone to opine as much as they like, is that not what forums are for? What annoys me, is the poster I replied to, has clearly demonstrated his knowledge and experience, and I respect that, but there are many people of this forum that think they know more from watching youtube in their armchair than someone with real life knowledge. The Dunning Kruger effect is often on display.

As said by @Polar Bear above, just save it to your phone and show on the day you go for the renewal. You should have been asked to download after completing the video training, if not just sign back in and it is still there for download. This is mine I used from last year.

Thank you, very informative post and great to hear from someone with firsthand experience. But please beware, as many arm chair experts here get upset when someone challenges their ideas.

Yes, fully agree, think the bottom is profits for the airlines. FAA and Boeing, both do not have a great record with the 737 max. https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/how-boeing-and-the-faa-created-the-737-max-catastrophe https://aviationsourcenews.com/analysis/boeing-the-faa-a-love-hate-relationship/#google_vignette

Ok, sorry, your post got caught up in a couple of other posts, and looking again my comment was a bit too strong to your reply. Yes agree, final report is not out yet, but do not think it will take long, as the 737 max has been cleared to fly again. https://news.yahoo.com/boeing-737-max-9-flights-223612630.html#:~:text=Boeing 737 Max 9 jets,grounded 737 Max 9 jets.

Maybe if you had looked at my posts on the Japan crash, it may have given you an insight that I have an interest in these subjects. Alaska Airlines restricted long flights over water so plane could divert and return to an airport quickly if required, as the plane had suffered a pressurisation warning light on 3 previous flights. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/08/business/boeing-max-9-plane-grounded.html#
