Thank you Skatewash, that's what we'll do in December.

It doesn't really matter what passport your parents used, your son wouldn't be allowed to enter Thailand using his Thai passport if he has a UK passport so don't worry about it.

Don't comment on stuff you know nothing about.

LOL, then somebody needs to tell the immigration officers who refused to let my wife enter Thailand with our 18 month old son in June 2009 on his Thai passport, insisting that she used his UK passport and again in October 2013 when they refused to allow my wife and 2 kids to enter Thailand on their Thai passports again insisting that they use their UK passports, my wife included who is Thai. When I asked how they knew my wife and kids had a UK passport we were told that they checked-in with UK passports, so don't sit there telling me not to comment on stuff I don't know about.

How did immigration know that they had UK passports?

The biggest mistake people make is showing both passports. Just show the Thai passport and keep the other one well hidden.

We never mentioned uk passports but when it became very clear that they weren't going to allow my wife and kids into Thailand on their Thai passports we had no choice, I have no idea how they knew they all had uk passports although they asked us our names and where we came from so it wouldn't have taken a genious to work it out.

Good to know, we're going back in December so I'll send my wife & kids through the automatic gates.

They can't deny them to entry with a Thai passport. They can hassle and try, but as soon challenged to a senior officer, they have to fold.

My thoughts exactly but 2 immigration officers refused to allow them in and like I said I wanted to allow my wife to handle it because I would have lost the plot which is the last thing that was needed.

I never cease to be amazed by those who are willing to display ignorance in Public !

I know, especially by people who weren't there.

Everything I've read on here about this has always said, "Exit uk on uk passport then enter and exit Thailand on Thai passport and re-enter uk on uk passport.

I'm sure I've posted my experience on here before.

Yes, both times we've taken them to Thailand and attempted to enter using their Thai passports. The las time they even refused to allow my Thai wife to enter on her Thai passport, I wasn't happy to put it mildly but I knew it was something my wife had to take care of and not me.

Dangerous dogs those Labradors, been known to lick people to death.

Never mind licking you to death, have you seen how many of their owners are blind?

I have what I have and there's &lt;deleted&gt; all I can do about it so I don't care.

Bang goes his no claims discount, I'll bet he shit a solid gold one.

2 words sum up Thai humour, Mr Bean, other than that they have no sense of humour.

Fair enough.

Emirates, Etihad, Qatar all usually way cheaper than Eva.

Or just do what my wife's sister did and bought the licence for 500baht.

And 2 cars behind, a shipment of 5 million tablets passed through said checkpoint with ease, the oldies are the best.

Typical Man U fan, thieving git's.

No one has ever done that to our daughter. I guess this could be a village / Isaan thing. It's always worth remembering that North Eastern culture differs in many ways to the rest of Thailand, as does village mentality when compared with Bangkok.

That sounds a bit snobby.

1 and I'm trying my best to get rid of her but she ain't budging.

Honestly I think the story is giving too much credit to the customer service of America. Unfortunately USA malls are too interested in reducing costs and staff and putting everything online. Getting assistance in stores is nonexistent. And trying to get executives to return calls? Good luck. It's not only they don't want to cater to foreign customers. It's just typical bad customer service, but on the executive level.

If I was a rich tourist I would go to Thailand where there are 10 staff attending me at once. Thats customer service done right.

To me good customer service is being left alone in a shop so that I can browse in peace. If I require any help then I'll ask.

Because all the ladies tell me I'm a handsome man.

10 years ago Walking Street was full of American / European / Scandanavian / Australian people. Now it's full of Indian / Arab / Chinese people.

Maybe that is the answer to your question OP.

unbelievable racist comment. Though i dont fit in any one of those group mentioned but here is something pattaya28 should know that in this downfall of Thailand's tourism industry at least those Asians and Middle eastern are keeping the business alive by coming here. Bare in mind the selected group that you criticized I bet any given day they are much more educated and well off than you are.How sallow you are its proven.

What part is "Racist"?

Is walking street not full of Indian/Arab/Chinese people, it was when I was there with my wife last year.

Here is a question for you Nemesis7, since when is the truth racist?

I know it's probably fruitless trying to convince the 'kill it with fire' crowd, but spiders aren't aggressive and they're not after you* unless you do something foolish like put your foot into their home (your shoe). They're not disease carriers and they eat all manner of bugs that actually ARE disease carriers like roaches and mosquitoes. The reason you have spiders is because you've also got something else far worse that they're feeding on.

*Okay, maybe in Australia

The only good spider is a dead one.
