thanks very much for the advice, looks like i'll be returning again soon then.

So i need to go to Thailand to do this?

thanks for the response, this info is priceless.

It would appear then that this could be done pretty easily in BKK with the right documentation.

After registering the Birth there with the English Embassy i could then find it easier to get the passport there too.

Would i need to be in BKK for this though, i live in the U.K now.

I understand they may want to speak to me in an interview.

My partner is in Thailand but not me, could she alone be able to do this at the embassy with the right documentation?

thanks again for the info, much appreciated.

Thanks, do i register the birth here in England and try to get the U.K passport for him from here?

Thought i read somewhere before that the mother had to be here to witness it?

Any particular Births, deaths, or Marriages office?

Thanks for the response and yes, i will be in touch to translate the documents. The original certificate was provided by the hospital in Sisaket, would it need to go back to them to sign first for any reason or can the document go straight to you?

Do you need the original?

My partner is now in Sisaket and will return to BKK once all the relevant forms are done.

I don't know if she need a signature from the hospital first for the translation?

Thanks again for the response, this is all very new to me.

I moved back to the U.K over one year ago. I have a thai girlfriend and son in Thailand. My son has a Thai birth certificate with my name on it but not an English translated birth certficate. He is only 1 year old.

I am applying to get them to come to the U.K on a Tourist visa.

Do i need to have his birth certificate translated into English first? Will this help?

I have been told it's easier sometimes especially that i have a Thai / English son to get them a visa for the U.K.

In the future we planned to get married and them to live in England, i still go to Thailand twice a year but for now we thought the best thing was to just get a 6 month visa for them to come to the U.K.

Would this be frowned upon by the Embassy?

I admit i haven't a clue about the best way to go about this paper wise.

I am desperate for them to come over and would welcome any help or advice on this situation.

many thanks in advance, it really would be appreciated.

perhaps if after they learn to speak English it would be good to teach them to talk about something intresting.Last week my friend who is half Thai ,half Chinese told me her family came here a long time ago (50 years).I asked was it because of the trouble with Chairman Mao.She replied "i don't know,my mum makes the food"

oh to have a good talk with a Thai girl.

now there is something i truly miss (fishing) haven't been for 3 years before i came here.My god how i miss it.Sounds like a great day out but unfortunately have to work Monday nights around 11 o'clock.I hear there is a lake here with the biggest Carp in the world.True or False i don't know.

ok it's true Englands performance has left the fans wondering but i think we can do better than 5th place.Playing the Usa will be intresting.Ok All Blacks vs Italy i know who my money's on and would expect everyone else the same but Australia Vs Japan (now there's a tough one).

i know Sin bar in Soi 4 are showing all the games and the late ones.some bars in soi 22 also but i don't know if they have the late ones.Anyone?

seems like a good idea anyway.You would expect this to happen in your own country.I know minor offences are usually wiped within 6 years (cautions).If you are prosecuted they last much,much longer unless the details are lost which has been known after some period of time.As for the person who got caught for a minor shoplifting 20 years ago i wouldn't worry too much you could probably get a job as a policeman now.It all depends how strict they want to be but surely they couldn't bring that up now!

I am just waiting to come on here after it is all finished and England have won the Cup.I can see now the suffering in the faces of the Wallabies and All Blacks fans as they are knocked out one by one but i suppose at least one of you will see us in the Final!

how hard can it be to fix proper times for the games,would the teams themselves not be concerned about not knowing what times they are going to play.it is the World Cup after all.

the guys at Sin Soi4 said they are showing all the games and the late ones too as they can open late.They said they start with France vs Argentina at 01.55 Saturday 8th(late friday night), is there a true timetable yet?

At least they can show the late ones anyway and hopefully have a big screen or at least 4 big t.v's!
