Depends on the country, and the number of British residents and visitors. Thailand has a large number of both.As I have just pointed out, the former Ambassador to Spain (a much more senior position that the Ambassador to Thailand) saw his responsibilities to British subjects as important as any other area.

 

You knew him personally I see...

Puff piece to which there is no particular objection, but it would be interesting to know whether the customer base had an equally sympathetic view.

paid puff piece to help foster that sympathetic view I would reckon

Every Brit I have met anywhere in the world for my entire life HATES the the local British Embassy. Why LOL

In my 20 years in Thailand I worked in Australia (FIFO) for a few years, so I had to use the Australian Embassy for a work permit. Using the Australian Embassy/services was much nicer/quicker/ more convenient/cheaper than using the British Embassy.

No, his position was made clear in obituaries in most of the British major newspapers.
