This will be ideal for taking gangs of high-ranking officers (and maybe their wives but probably not ???? ) on jollies to other countries. Oh, sorry I meant "fact-finding missions"

Travel to UK with child different surname
nglodnig replied to mja1906's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Many (nearly forty) years ago I and my Thai wife and her daughter (now my step-daughter) relocated to the UK. My wife already had a British passport. We needed yes a letter from the natural father (I think a few thousand baht changed hands but I didn't enquire ???? ) and a statement from my bank that I was solvent that went to the British embassy. We also transalted all the birth and marriage certificates - the Brit Embassy told us which ones they accepted (don't try and find somebody cheaper to do it as I did first as the Embassy will reject it). My daughter already had a Thai passport. I think that was all we needed. Yes she had a different surname from my both my wife and I. -
Thanks that is my opinion as well.

Slightly off-topic but my (Thai) wife has a Thai driving licence, but it has expred. She insists that because she lives six months a yearin Europe her European driving licence is OK. I have my doubts and worry if she is involved in an accident the insurance won't cover her. I know there are no hard-and-fast rules about ANYTHING regarding these matters but is she correct?

My children tell me the "Bank of Mum and Dad" is the best. 24 hour service - never a refusal. -

Did three days once without sleep at Knebworth '76 (Stones headlining) some chemically induced but the most not. I was young, weather was good and damn, the Stones, man, the Stones! -
Draft Prostitution Law To Set Voluntary Service At Minimum 20 Years
nglodnig replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I mis-read the title - I thought it meant prostitutes had to do "voluntary service" for twenty years, then were free to go. I'll get my coat. -
Russia could run out of money next year, says oligarch Oleg Deripaska
nglodnig replied to Scott's topic in World News
https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-64848508 Reminds me of the days when Comical Ali was explaining how Iraq was winning the war as US troops stormed into Baghdad. I wonder what happend to him? Living in the UAE apparently now. -
I anm using an AIS pre-paid for quite q few years now and AFAIK I have NEVER enabled roaming on the SIM card. I find I can't make calls outside of Thailand (not that I want to) but receive SMS meessages quite happily and free of charge. This suits me fine. Every month or two I have to go mobiletopup.com and put in some money to keep the SIM card alive but is far preferable from having to get a new SIM card every time I arrive back there - as Bangkok Bank need a "permanent" number or I have to keep updating it.

Every time I visit Thailand (for the last thirty or forty years or more) I spend an hour or two at Bangkok Airport waiting for my onward flight. Occasionally (once or twice a decade) I overnight there. Dirty, smelly, over-crowded, crime-ridden and the traffic is atrocious - unbelievable, at any time day or night. Yeah right, it's the thirtieth best city in the world.

I am still paying 419 baht a month for premium. Luckily I signed up for Netflix in Thailand and pay the Thai price but at the moment I do ninety percent of my viewing outside but please don't tell them ????

Hmm my "wai" height - chest, face or head - tends to be a combination of who I'm "wai"ing and how they "wai"-ed me. Sayng that, monks get a head-high wai, kids, a chest-high one (if they "wai"-ed me first but not if they didn't) and generally family and friends get a face-high "wai" (which I class as neutral).
