Yes guys, intending to spend a month moving around so no main destination, that's why it doesn't matter which country is the first to arrive in.
So any other experience on applying in other coutries beside France?
Spain? Germany? Holland? Poland? Hungary? Greece? Italy?

we got a visa for Spain but it was very unpleasant dealing with the Spanish Consulate in BKK.
Our flight was diverted to Geneva, so that was the entry point. no problems at all as we had been issued with another ticket for Madrid.
Suggest that if you do not enter the Schengen at the country that issued the visa that you have an onward ticket .

Thais, in general, care very little for others. They are very good at turning a blind eye when horrors happen around them. I don't see this country getting any better without having some strong people in charge and declaring a total war on the mafias and police corruption that will kill thousands of innocents.
International action to ban all trading in thai seafood is likely to have more effect and really hit them where it hurts in the pocket.

I was pretty sure I recently read where some guy had to pay 800 baht for the express service at Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I think he saw a sign that said 200 baht normal and double for express, but for some reason his final bill was 800 baht. He also had trouble finding the right building as we all know taxi drivers don't know crap about their own town. So if I were offered a reasonable fee by the translation service to register the document at MFA I'd take it.
If you go by taxi the Consulate office is the big building at the front of the complex, Immigration is at the back and that is where the taxi will probably think you want to go, hence the confusion.
for the freedom to marry document we used an agent they charged 2,000 to collect the doc from the UK consulate translate , legalise at the thai consulate section and send the docs by post to chiangmai, we only spent a day in BKK.

To get your first thai driving licence do you need both your country of origin DL (in my case UK) and an international driving permit ?
I have a yellow house book, anything else needed ?

If the original is in English then I believe you don't need an International driving permit. ( Being from the UK, I'd say it's in English.
) To others: If the original is NOT in English, then you need either an International dirving permit from the same country as your drivers license, or a certified translation.
