Do they still except GB pounds in BURMA,official and unoffiaial exchange, anyone know the present exchange rate?

Do Thai nationals require a visa to visit Myanmar?, or are they exept, as they are citizens of a ASEAN country.Also how much does
   it cost for a Myanmar visa from the their embassy in bkk

To-day I payed for and received a multiple re-entry permit,thinking it would be for one year,however on arriving home I noticed that
   it only covers the next 5 months, until my yearly visa expires. Is this correct ?

What have we done wrong? My long standing partner applied for a 10 day visitors visa, she has today been informed that the application has been refused, the grounds being=


Although you have  stated that you and your sponsor are living together in Thailand, I note that you have provided very little evedence of your relationship. I note, in particular, that you have not provided a supporting letter from your partner- or any evidence of his residency in Thailand.

I have taken the fact that you and your sponsor have a child together(born in Thai  2008) However, in the absense of any further evidense,I am
not satisfied that you have provided a full and clear account   of your relationship or your current circumstances in Thailand. This leads me to question your reasons for wishing to travel to the UK and your intentions. Paragraph 41(i) and (ii).

I have therefore refused your application because I am not satisfied, on the balace of  probabilities,that you meet all of the requirements of the
relevant Paragraph of the United K ingdom Immigration Rules.

So what information did she supply=

copy of the blue house book for her and our child.
copy of my yellow house book for the same address.
copies of the pages of our passports,showing that we have visited other countries in the region together.
photo's of me and her family over the years,including wedding photo's with date stamps.
copy of birth certificate for child.
copy of her bank book showing 500,000 baht(stating she has had this amount for over 8months)
copy of my Thai bank book showing 11,000,000 baht
copy of her Thai visa card.
name and address of friends we would have been staying with,along with photo showing them together with us when they visited
Thailand last year.
list of people,addresses,telephone No's  who will be attending my military reunion(the main reason for the visit)

And just in case anybody thinks- she has never worked in a bar or even been in a bar.never worked in a similar occupation.

So where did we go wrong.

A few of my friends over the last couple of years have been hit with a bill from a local goverment office, in some cases the  
tax  seemed to be on the house and land,while on others just on the land. It seems the amount is approx 12.5 percent.
Any ideas what tax this will be?
