sumrit Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Anyhows, I've pencilled in me n Mrs to go to Warwick Thai festival on the 19th July.......ages away! Me and the wife have got a wedding invite - 22nd July...... hoping she's going to be here by then! My son gets married at the beginning of August which seemed a long way off, but then my daughter is expecting her second child this week and when we applied in March I told her we'd definitely be back for when she had the baby, after all it was three months away. Even August is looking close now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Visa Stamp will be put on automaticaly by machine. Unless they are working the weekend the machine date is wrong ???? "No You Burk it was me who was Wrong". Come on.

gypsymoth Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Congrats kenkate!!The journey through imigration was a breeze took 30 seconds mind you we were lucky there were no ques!! After all the waiting we get some breaks. Coming back there were big queues for us, but in BKK the guy on the Thai passport only stand stamped me out, and at Heathrow the UK only guy stamped us both in, so hardly any waiting after all. One tip though, have TB cert handy cos they will want to see that to go through the quick UK passports barrier.

Its all going yellow by the time it hits the shelves. Yeah come on you marchers. Us aprilers need you all done soon lol........ Good luck to you all If you are trying to get Green Papaya try googling Raanthai mate. I am lucky in that it is only a mile or so from my house but you can orer it online for home delivery. If you are near the M53 (other side of chester) then Raan thai is only just off Junction 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 The stress must be getting to you guys. You have taken it off topic to buying Green Papaya and other Thai food . I think there should be some more good news this week so don't let it get to you. Go easy on the tracking page I think you all broke it yesterday.
