I worked in Saudi back in the mid 80s, lovely place...???? Anyhow, the flight out was always a hoot, we were obviously gagging for a sherbet after our 15 week hitch and BA never disappointed on that score, but I digress.
The best entertainment was, once in International airspace, seeing some of the Saudi ladies in their traditional and most becoming, black garb, head for the 'heads' and return in slightly less traditional, and typically rather more exclusive, western outfits complete with bling, quite a transformation...
...oh and often, smoking hot these girls, just sayin'...

Er, no, I jest not. I fail to follow your reasoning that because a restaurant is associated with short time room rental then the food will be rubbish. The noodle place is on the road away from the entrance to the 'resort' and throughout the many visits that I have made to the place neither I nor any of my companions felt that we were eating in anything other than a pleasant environment. The duck noodles are, by the way, excellent and I wonder whether you have even been there or if perhaps your rant is based purely on hearsay.

I think that the Duck Inn Resort might have a claim to the title of best duck noodle soup, a little hard to find though...

Go to your local Police Station and explain what you want, they should give you a request form to fill in and they will send off to Scotland Yard who will reply to you direct.
Yes, thanks for that but my issue is not how to get the clearance but whether or not I must use the link given on the embassy page. I am asking in case anyone has recent experience of this.

A "basic" disclosure would not be sufficient for a teaching job in the UK .
I have no idea as to whether it will be acceptable in Thailand.
Yes I am aware of that but I am not looking for a teaching job in the UK or Thailand, I am applying for a Non OA visa for which the police clearance is a requirement...
-
Can anyone confirm whether the required police clearance certificate absolutely must be applied for through the link on the London Embassy web page?
I already have an in date certificate from another agency (Basic Disclosure Scotland) which I am required to get for my job.

Im a little bit confused.
I have no Uk licence's but have obtained a Moped licence in Chiang Mai. Can I get a Thai car driving licence.....?
When I got my moped licence I was offered and ASEAN one I think for a little bit more money but for some dumb reason I didnt take it. To clarigy was it the ASEAN one I got offered or am I confused..?
I can't speak for Chiang Mai but in Krabi you can. You need the non immigrant O (don't know if single entry is OK) the police letter from immigration, the 'medical' letter and a car.
Yes, it's bring your own vehicle...

1. Your old, expired Thai driving licence. (On the date you apply, your licence must have already expired.)
2. Photocopies of the following pages of your passport:

- the departure card ("TM... card" - stapled in your passport)
- the last arrival stamp ("Admitted Until" stamp)

All pages must be signed by you.
3. 2 Photographs for each licence: 1 inch square (2.5 cm square) excluding the white border, which will be cut off.
It must show your complete face, neck and top of shoulders.
4. A photocopy of and the original document, which is a letter or form (bottom of TM47 form) from Immigration confirming your address in Thailand. They will keep the photocopy and give you back the original document.
The photocopy must be signed by you.

Note: no medical certificate is required.
The above was the case at Phuket Provincial Land Transport Office, 25/7/2005, http://www.phuketdir.com/pkttransport . (There is an error on this page: it says the photo must be 2.5 inches. It should be 2.5 cm).
New requirement in the online Bangkok Post tonight:
New requirement for driver's licence
* Published: 5/10/2010 at 03:37 PM
* Online news: Breakingnews
People applying for a new driver's license or for an extension of a license will be required to have a doctor's certificate to show they are not suffering from an illness which could affect their driving.
The requirement is stated in a draft ministerial regulation of the Transport Ministry approved in principle by the cabinet on Tuesday, deputy government spokesman Supachai Jaisamut said.
The Transport Ministry proposed this new regulation because people can now apply for an extension of their driver's license without having to show a doctor's certificate showing they are not suffering from illnesses listed under Article 46 of the Automobile Act of 1979.
The new regulation, when in effect, will apply to driver's licenses for all kinds of vehicles.
As long as you don't show up at the docs with a seeing eye dog it's a five minute formality and costs athe princely sum of between 30 and 80 baht ...
Doc: Are you alive?
You: It would appear so...
Doc: That will be 50 baht then, here's your chit...
You: Khup khun khrup, sawasdee khrup...
