The FCCT's Dateline Bangkok podcast has just released an episode that discusses this and other LGBTQ+ issues

this interview all about the DTV visa with Mr. Naruchai Ninnad, deputy director-general of the Department of Consular Affairs at Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs may be of interest:

I would like to find a zero-sugar electrolyte too. In the UK you can buy these, and I stock up when I'm back - a potential business opportunity for someone to re-sell in Thailand? https://appliednutrition.uk/products/bodyfuel-electrolyte-tablets (you can buy them at B&M where they are around £3 for a tube)

for background, I filmed this story on the Lopburi monkeys for C4 news in 2020 https://www.channel4.com/news/how-the-covid-19-pandemic-gave-lop-buris-monkey-population-newfound-freedom

I think they only need 1 photo (they're larger than the 'normal' size) but bring a couple. Police stations like Thonglor in Bangkok don't need you to make an appointment although they don't start until about 9.30-10am

I went to French Polynesia including Bora Bora for work - I was filming a TV feature there for Swiss TV at the end of 2015. It is one of the most amazing places on earth (that I have been to yet) - such clear sea water, great hotels, and wildlife. I wasn't paying for it though, so that made a lot of difference. Had to fly Bangkok>Tokyo>Tahiti>Bora Bora so it's quite a journey. We also went to the Marquesas Islands, Tahiti and Tetiaro (Marlon Brando Island). Here's a link to the programme (although it's in German language) The turtles and the salt production (and other bits) were on Bora Bora

It's actually not that difficult - I got PR with my (Thai) wife assisting following Camerata's excellent Guide on here. There's no actual need to have a law firm or company to help. Plus it saves a lot of money.

I departed BKK earlier this week (for the UK), and was handed a TM6 to fill in (I have PR so do it the other way round like a Thai national does, out then in). Also I asked about registering to use the e-gates (as I have previously) and the immigration officer said that no one can use the e-gates now.
