Hello , firstly i have 2 sons 4 and 6 years old born in Thailand with a Thai mother and Im from the U.K
Its about time they should visit U.K and i am trying to get info how do do this
I am wanting to get a British passport for both of them!
Do they need a thai passport first?
As far as i am aware its a case of getting there birth certificates translated /my birth cert/wife birth cert/ ID/ forms/ and going to the British Embassy with a wallet full of cash

I would love to know how much is this going to cost?
also the time scale ,
another issue is my wife has visited the U.K but will she be able to get another visit visa easy enough?
Also i had to show i was working before to sponser her but now living here for 7 years i cannot show i am able to as i have no income from the u.k?

Last question i plan to visit Laos next month can they do this with just id as i have heard that they wont need a passport just birth certificates for a few days visit !
Thanks for your time and i would love to have any help with this as dont fancy travelling back and forth to bangkok thanks

I am looking for large rolls of bubble wrap and have been told you can get large rolls of 100m in Bangkok but its a four hour drive for me so would need it sent and i am fed up of buying small 65square cm sheets at the local P.O
I found one company that want 1500 baht to send a roll of 100m x 130cm ,is this a good price as its single sided
Thanks In advance

Hello thanks for taking time to read this ,i am from the U.k and living in Thailand with my wife and have a 5 year old son who speaks Thai and English very well although he was slow to speak at first due to the 2 languages(Thai/English)

My concern is our younger 3 year old boy who at 2.5 years old was saying everyones name and we could take him to the supermarket shopping but the last 6 months he seems to have stopped talking many of the words although he says probably about twenty different words and can say 2 words together but seems to cry for no reason and does like to do the toy cars in a row like i have seen on autism sites but does not stack anything up

When we go out in the car if we go to the post office before shopping all hel_l breaks loose and its a case of turning around or getting his mind off the detour by giving him a toy plane or car

If i say 'give me a kiss' he comes straight to me and kisses me and smiles when we clap our hands and will go to anyone you name to kiss them although i might have to say his name 20 times for him to look at me

He will eventually give you eye contact but you need to keep saying his name

He is fasinated with wheels on anything/ toys cars/bikes/

When he was younger he watched quite  alot of cartoons and when we recently took him for a check for autism we were told to not let him watch cartoons and keep talking to him and he hasnt got autism which quitened the wife down although i am sure all is not well but even going to the doctors for a check up and changing his routine made him nearly kick the dashboard off my car and taking him for a haircut was the hardest thing i ever have done

Basically i am sure he has Autism and as i am in Nakhon Sawan and  the nearest specialist is a four hour drive away (Bangkok)and if anyone can give me any advise before i try to make this 4 hour drive with my son who needs so much routine i would be very very grateful
The more i read the more i can see he has autism and would love to hear from anyone who can give me any advise as mentioning maybe getting him proper help back in the U.K seems like a huge step we are not ready to do and i am sure we would have huge problems even getting on the plane
Even seeing a balloon at a mister donut store gets our little boy so worked up i have to buy a box of donuts and get a balloon as quick as possible
He wasnt always like this at 2 years old he talked much more and we could sit at KFC without any trouble but we cannot get him anywhere near KFC now
Any help or advice would be great as i have been going around in circles and all the clinics here dont seem to know enough to do the correct diagnosis tests
Thankyou in advance


Thanks in advance

I have recently bought a new house and there is a long room which is 2 ft under ground level, i am not sure why it was designed like this but when we get a good downpour i have noticed some of the grouting seems to let small amounts of water in , houses near us let much more in
What can i do apart from re-tiling the whole room is there a fix as i want to use the room and put a sofa and bed down there but dont want to keep mopping up water
I am sure someone can help
I have been told to just cement and re-tile the whole room but will this stop further leakage?
Thanks
