going to any embassy can be a ball ache.

the thai embassy is was closed on my first attempt 

making it a larger financial ball ache, but when i went back the next

day it was relatively easy.

if you get there early its not as bad

the line had been there since 6.30 am but even though i got there

at 8 am it wasn't too bad. half an hr later it was half a km long and 

folk were starting to get fruity in the heat!

it goes like this.

you line up and avoid the scammers outside charging you to use their

copy machines and buying forms for 50 bhp each

then when it gets to 8.30 am you pile in

get a number and wait with your forms to be seen.

then we sit underneath the hot tarps>?

the guy in front was from my home town in england.

the older chap behind me from 30 miles away.

small world

all manner of ex pats who have had enough.

i told them i don't often hang with brits as they moan like hell!

also they said the same. then they started moaning like hell.

cest la vie!

within half an hr i was called and gave in my passport.

this is what happens if you get there early!

if you get there late!

the line trebles and you stand in the sun.

then you et a number over 500! 

each 50 is half an hr. then you wait in the sun till called.

its insane and folk re like wild beasts chomping to get their forms in!

needless to say i got there early!!
