In Europe, you can get dental work done in Hungary and Turkey cheaper than in Thailand. It's 20,000 baht for an implant in Turkey.

Nonsense post. The UK has the 6th largest economy in the world. The article doesn't say the UK is in the 'Indo-Pacific region' it just says it sees Thailand as a significant partner in the 'Indo-Pacific region'

Partly correct. Your re-entry permit protects your original permission to stay so if you are returning to the same address a new TM30 is not required, but when re-entering using a multi-entry visa you get a new permission of stay. When you leave Thailand your current permission of stay is cancelled (unless you have a re-entry permit) so your next entry, even if you have used the visa before, is a new permission of stay and a TM30 will need to be registered. Using the same visa for entry is not the same as using your re-entry permit.

The Visa Application Centre and His Majesty's Passport Office HMPO - both are moving!

I never knew that but it does have my passport number listed as ID No. I presume a pink card does as well.

That's because they were shifting some of the money upstairs to protect their future.

You should take Vit D3 with Vit K2 (Mk7). There are combo tablets available

My office, Nakhon Sawan, has always required four photos. They also send my application to Chiang Mai for authorisation as marriage extensions can only be authorised by Bangkok or Chiang Mai Immigration.

I hear that the Swiss have also invented a knife and Cuckoo Clock

It doesn't say what cars qualify as a 'Classic car' - 20, 30 40 50 years old?

Well, just today my wife has been to the hospital because of constant headaches and neck pain which has been going on for more than a year. She had an MRI scan and they discovered she has a herniated disc in her neck which she probably sustained from a fall 12 months ago when she slipped on spilt coffee. So, you need to go and see a doctor.

I was told the same at Nakhon Sawan Office but unlike the OP I went there and asked. However, my friend, who was staying with me, had arrived in Thailand visa-exempt and travelled with me to Vietnam and back - the IO told him he did need to do a new one even though he was returning to the same address as his previous TM30. I would suggest the OP does not try and prove the IO wrong and just writes the 800 baht off to experience.

Do you mean Swiss?

You can get translations done at VFS now although I expect them to be pricey

They've moved: We are pleased to inform you that effective from 18 March 2024, the UK Visa Application Centre and the HMPO address in Bangkok, Thailand will be relocated to the new address below: Visa Application Centre and HMPO address: VFS (Thailand) Ltd. The Shoppes at Belle Grand Rama 9, 131/1,141/1, Unit BS003 – BS003/1, 1st Floor, Rama 9, Huay Kwang, Bangkok 10310 Thailand.

....because he didn't provide her with the correct funds 🤣😂🤣

On Patong Beach 🤣🤣😂

Looking forward to the resolution to this one.

They were arriving visa-exempt

You don't in my office (Nakhon Sawan) Last September my friend applied for his extension the day before his old one expired. I thought he would be in trouble but nothing was said. When I did my 90 report I asked how soon I can do my renewal and they said upto 30 days before the current one expires. There was no mention of any minimum.

Channel conflict is more of an issue with 2.4 MHz. Non overlapping channels are 1, 6, and 11

This is correct but good luck arguing with the cops and insurance companies if you make a claim. Even some embassy websites say you need one but legally you don't if your licence is in English. A few years ago my friend was stopped in his car in Chonburi and the cops wanted to fine him 1000 baht for not having an IDP. He insisted on going back to the station so it could get sorted and after a couple of hours waiting he was fined 500 baht and given a receipt. When he got to his hotel he asked reception to translate the receipt and they said he was fined 500 baht for not wearing a crash helmet 🤣

...or just googled it. I use the Honda car dealership in Nakhon Sawan and they speak English and they also give me the empty can of the new oil they've used.

'The police confirmed the arrest of the woman soon after the incident. Neighbours know her as a reserved Asian woman, a single mother raising two children under challenging circumstances.' I thought ppl not from the UK would like to know what sort of help is available to single parents as 'challenging circumstances' is very subjective journalism. Next time read the story.

I suspect they are referring to the actual electronic check of the passport when it is placed in the reader and not the whole clearance process
