I feel sure the orphans would appreciate the gesture...if they ever got to see the generosity of the giver???!!!

It appears the 'J' was the one thing you obviously overlooked!

I don't use Thai mail and my family in the UK don't use Royal Mail, due to the overly excessive time it takes. We now use DHL and in most cases is around the same price, but only takes 4 to 5 day max either direction. A couple of months ago, my UK bank posted a replacement Debit card. I believe it may be on its way to Mars. After much persuasion, I manage to get the bank to agree for my grand daughter to collect the replacement. Needless to say, 4 days later DHL delivered.

He doesn't need to prove himself right. You have done it for him in your previous post. Quite honestly, I wouldn't go back the UK for all the rice in china. I give it 10 to 15 years and British white people will be a minority. It was a dump when I left 30 years ago and the only thing it has been good for since, is just getting worse. There was once a time people could look forward to the future. All they can do now is look back on a once glorious past, with envy.

Possibly a missed point here? Have the parents been encouraging his computer studies, but maybe not aware of his advancement into AI development? All kids are curious animals, so think back to your own childhood. Did you tell your parents everything, and especially about your becoming aware of the opposite sex? Kids here today are at the stage I was perhaps 70 years ago, there are some things you just don't talk about, even among friends.

I second Kasikorn, simplicity itself. Never used BBL.

"The financial burden of treating these injuries totalled 7.827 billion baht, with motorcycle-related injuries responsible for 80% of these costs." That is a lot of cash, so one has to assume it is the cash amount, driving this helmet awareness campaign? It certainly doesn't appear to be in concern for the motorcyclist. The rainy season contributes to at least 20% of these 'accidents', because of the state of the roads. Riding in the rain is an art in itself, but having to dodge POTHOLES, or be thrown off because of them, is the responsibility of the local government. At least 50% of the problem is down to the serious lack of rider training, the responsibility of the main government. And the last 30%? Laid squarely at the feet of the police. Why! Well we all know they are about as much use as BOOBS ON A FISH! I could go on, but the dent I was intent on making in the brick wall, is not working as planned.

TAX = LEGAL THEFT

Strange, how do utility poles grow branches with leaves?

Ah, but just think of all the problems that could happen on the way, if he ever made it?

You are suggesting joined up thinking. That can be a something of a stretch for some, even those in authority!

SO! Why are you still here?? Give us a break, PLEASE??!!

Emerging from what? In many cases as seen across the country it is still Neanderthal, say the wrong thing or look the wrong way and get beaten to death.

For the head aches no doubt?

Stuck with one of these perhaps?

When Thai Immigration first asked for Embassy Letters of confirmation of income, foreigners were NOT required to submit tax returns! How then was it possible to imply, it was done for tax purposes??? I suggest you go back under your bridge and have another think on your postings.

"Did they not see that happening"? ....... Would they ever? More to the point, they went looking for the problems and trouble it would cause. Then obviously found it.

I have to assume, whomever posted the thumbs down, is not so very observant?

Let us hope that many others have learnt by their mistake?

I cannot be in the know for every countries passport requirements. Had there been any problems with mine, I feel sure the passport application would have been refused.

You are there and I am here, so I'll keep quiet.

Plus the flights and other travel and accommodation expenses. I don't see a mug when I look in the mirror, but I have to wonder what you see!?

While SILLY Milliband has his fingers in the pie, Trump might just as well whistle into the wind.

Just a thought. While sat waiting in IMMI, watch the comings and goings. An agent is usually quite easy to spot.

I used an agent to renew my UK passport last April. The lack of hassle was worth every penny I paid, which was £309.00, including the passport cost. All done in 3 weeks. What's not to like?
