I had a Samsung Microwave with the grill and hot air-blast, would recommend one of them, defrosts cooks and crisps up the food, Wasn't built in but had the fold down door. I had been considering it for a few months, it was then on sale, deal for just over 10k baht display model, only missing it original box, discounted from about 15k baht. in home pro. (2019). Then a few months later I was back in the UK. (don't have one here, yet ????, as the old one is extremely reliable ????).

For a single entry TR, on youtuber's advice I typed a sentence on the PC "Not thought applicable be to the Single entry tourist Visa requested" Snipped it to a jpeg, and was going to upload it for 8 & 9 on the question list, but since we had a state pension letter handy, uploaded that for "8". But use the jpg statement it for "9" Who is inviting you etc.

Just a quick update;- Got through to payment / Submission of the TR SE application on the 3rd April, approved on the 4th April, I picked it up on the e-mail when I got up on the 5th April. So no fear of the e-Visa system now, and a big thanks to e-visa/London Embassy for really quick processing.???? The Thailand pass, mmm, don't really want to learn that, so as unfamiliar, we will get someone to do that, it may not be complicated, but hopefully TP will be discontinued by the next trip. Or rather the next trip shall be most likely after it is discontinued ????. .

Well, dad has not been anywhere in the last twelve months so at least that was simple. (I remember applying for the son's UK passport via trendy in Bangkok, had to scan every page of one of his passports, took ages). As far as the Visa exempt+Extension, interaction with immigration with possible stress is not part of the Trip Plan. The plan is always to have everything in place and known before leaving the UK. MajorTom, the Multi-non O would be worthy of some effort, as at least that was it done for the year (I only had two of those), as far as I know non-O still unavailable from UK since June 2019. But I havn't looked at that again on the current system. The next thing is trying to find Thailand pass $20k certified insurance, that covers the isolation in a Thai Hospital, even though not symptomatic. The AXA policy does, but does, but only up to 75years old, and Dad is 89. It looks like about 8K Baht for that, then he will have is UK based travel insurance that was circa 24000 THB in March 2020 (but cancelled along with one of the flights). Doing this for the first time on these new systems, is definitely not relaxing.. I will consult with the Youtube poster again as well.... Thanks for the responses.

For number 9, I thought of inserting a Tourist authority of Thailand logo? It just seems odd. Question 9 is what I would expect if I were applying to visit the wife. This application I'm doing, is for my Father who is 89, who up until 2019 went to Thailand 177 days a year (three trips) for about 2 decades. firstly on tourist visas, getting two at a time, then on non-O ME (easiest to plan and book flights in advance)m and then back to Tourist visas in 2019 from Glasgow. Now this! thought the application was working ok, but section 4 ????. Anyway will try and get some sort of booking slip from the accom. in Thailand, can do a pension letter perhaps, but No 9?? I can't see Dad using this system himself, thankfully I have a small home office set-up with scanners etc, Hopefully someone will be along that has done a successful TR application, with this template..

https://thaievisa.go.th/applyindividual/ First thing to confirm, it is a Single entry TR visa for 60 days that is asked for. It seemed to be working fine, until section 4. If anyone can offer any insight to Section 4 - supporting documents. Is the site showing the wrong template? Can't proceed as no file added to 8 or 9.! "Required Document (Please check relevant embassy/ consulate's website for specifically required documents) 1. Passport or travel document with validity not less than 6 months. 2.

I don't see anyway round the physical appointment, I hope you get a positive email reply maybe about the birth Cert, but the Passport I'm pretty sure will remain to be a physical appointment. If you were to try to use the British Birth Cert (long version with both parents names etc..) in Thailand at the very least you would need it legalized in the UK (which you can do by post at the moment) https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/81905-legalisation?menu=5d6636ce15e39c3bd0007344 But then perhaps everything still needing stamped up with a translation, at the MFA at Chaeng Wattana, before use at a local office. Not sure that would work,. But the passport issuance/renewal in the local office for the kids does seem easy enough, but still a Mum Dad and Kid physical appointment. I think best just going as a British kid, on the British Passport this time perhaps, and do the Thai BC and Passport later when back, which gives you the Number, then do the ID card at the local office in Thailand during some future trip. It is possible to renew the ID in the UK, but not the initial issue and cannot amend it. (e.g. my Daughter is still using Maiden name as She would have to change the Thai passport first, before changing the British one. Also, later, would have to amend the ID card in Thailand. ) Anyway glad we got her Thai Passport renewed Jan 20 just before everything became complicated! Good luck!????

Of course, then they could have decided not to go, no point in going on holiday, to give yourself more potential stress. The holiday company should promote it as a stress, risk, endurance and financial gamble. They probably had Relax on a lovely beach ???? , ????. Good article though, it will let more people know the reality of the situation.

1st Az jab March 2021 left arm Developed some pain in my knuckles of my left hand, for a few days the middle two fingers, should I clench my hand, had to push the middle two fingers straight again. A few days after the jab, a very bad headache for about 24hrs. The joint pain in the knuckle joints faded away and was zero by about 5 weeks (only a problem for the clutch on my motorcycle really). 2nd Az May 2021 Slight return of the left hand knuckle pain for a few days only. (The nurses at this station had not heard of the joint pain issue, but a bit of a headache was common, though I thought their description of the headache, was perhaps less than my experience). 3rd Jab, Booster, [Last night] Pfizer (&Flu) both in the left arm. These nurses were aware of a few people having the Joint Pain that I had experienced after the 1st jab back in March. So far so good, feel slightly more sleepy than normal today, but no other reactions. If the joint pain I experienced in my left hand, had happened to my back, I could see why it would be an issue. I hope She recovers soon , my Best Wishes. 4th Jab, depends on the rate of cases in the population, unlikely to be before April 22!

UK consulates are shut and generally no longer possible for Visa issuance. London just appears to direct to;- https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/how-to-apply-for-thailand-s-e-visa-stickerless?page=5d6636cd15e39c3bd00072dd&menu=5d6636ce15e39c3bd000733c No multi entry, unless there is some good news listed somewhere in there...

I think you have to apply using the e-visa system, and the multiple entry non-O has not been issued from London since Mid June 2019 when the "e" system was introduced. But if it has been reinstated that would be good news....

The Puff&Pie shops were quite nice I thought, liked their Tuna pie slices ????.

Anything that gets a bit more Air Traffic moving, can't be bad, whatever the true number is...

Not the British Embassy presumably....

Oops, already said ????

It could be worse ????, driving past the petrol station a couple of hours ago, in Scotland, Diesel £1.519 Ltr ~ 69 baht / Ltr.... £1.46 a few days ago....

Have an old smartphone that will probable not run their app, I do have a tablet that would likely run the app I suppose.

I thought the Thai Embassy in the USA are the MFA, strange! Though I did have to have a sworn translation of the Thai one, to legalize / register the marriage with the UK embassy (way back when they did that sort of thing)

From a UK point of view the 1 year Multi entry/90 days per entry was discontinued mid June 2019 when London moved to the E-visa system, when I semi-retired in 2018 planned everything around the non-O based on marriage, for the then foreseeable future . It Was a good visa type as you could plan flights back to the UK etc. knowing that you had visa cover over the year. Then came COVID, my last time in Thailand was the tail end entry on my second ME visa, 1st quarter of 2020! See no easy path to visit Thailand, even in the school summer holidays. Too many variables and uncertainty at UK and Thailand. ????

If they want to change it they should leave it indexed in some way. e.g. the average of 2.5%, earnings growth, and inflation, in lieu of the highest of. What the 2.5% represents is an increase figure which is "picked", not good going forward. could well be the earnings growth figure may reduce next year, but suspect inflation will still be pushing things along. . The CPI is still a gradual slight devaluation anyway, CPIH is a bit better, There was a group of us discussing the price of our 80's Motorcycles when new, and used the projected CPI index as well as the R.P.I. which prevailed back then. Very unlikely you could buy a current equivalent machine with the CPIed figure and even the RPIed figure fell a bit short, and this with all the modern engineering efficiency...???? %
