    British Embassy in Bangkok

    By Anonymous, Created on: 05/10/2004, Last updated on: 25/02/2011

    » In March, my Thai partner wanted to visit me in London. Before granting a visa, the Embassy wanted a mountain of paperwork including proof of my income, whether or not I woned my own home and a whole lot of other things. At this stage, I have to say that we have many controversial issues in the UK...

    • Anonymous commented : In today's Bangkok Post (hard copy) letter's page is a missive from a British guy (who is married to a Thai lady) about Ken Bigley who has just been killed by kidnappers in Iraq. British Prime Minister Tony Blair spoke to Ken Bigley's family in the UK and Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw went to see Ken Bigley's family in the UK to offer condolenses from the government and the Queen sent a letter of condolenses to Ken Bigley's mother. No one on an, official level, has said anything to Ken Bigley's Thai wife, Sombat Bigley !!! I know how I feel about the prospect of my government treating my wife in that same way. My heart goes out to her in her loss and I must admit that I am ashamed of the way my government has ignored her in her loss.

    • Anonymous commented : REAL ESTATE / PRIME DOWNTOWN BANGKOK SITE British embassy completes sale of nine-rai plot to Central The British government yesterday completed the sale of part of its Bangkok embassy compound on Phloen Chit Road to the Central Group, the country's largest retail operator. The price of the prized nine-rai plot to Central affiliate Tiang Chirathivat Real Estate Co was not disclosed but industry experts estimated it at three billion baht. Central edged Land & Houses Plc, the country's largest residential developer, in the contest to acquire the site. The company wants to turn the plot into a shopping area, serviced apartments or a hotel and entertainment anchor to complement its nearby Central Chidlom store. Intense competition in the retail business in Bangkok's central business district has driven Central to seek ways to build on its existing businesses, which are now constrained by limited space, according to industry analysts. Central executives declined to comment on the deal, but the British Embassy said yesterday it was the largest-ever property sale by the Foreign Office. The historic residence, the embassy and the "green character" of the compound would be preserved, it said. About 11 million (770 million baht) of the proceeds will fund redevelopment of the remainder of the compound, including new staff accommodation, recreational facilities, remodelling of the embassy offices and security work. The embassy said that the 32.3-rai compound, purchased in 1922, was larger than needed. It said the land sold was the most polluted and noisiest part of the compound, next to the six-lane Phloen Chit Road and the BTS skytrain. The War Memorial and statue of Queen Victoria would be moved to appropriate sites near the residence, officials said.

    • Anonymous commented : To American Embassy, The embassy consulates muct be extremely careful to check why so many Thai females want to go to USA. The prospects to go, seems so many unnecessary or prematured divorses to be expedited today. Many of 'successful Thai female entries into USA are the direct triggers to call more entries as some of them turn to be "marriage agents" or at least, "successful cases of Thai female". They spread the complete faked stories like "They are treated by new husband like Cinderella" or " Queen" and enjoy everyday shopping like rich Madam Smith. Also they spread rumours that all adopted children enjoy "free education with English" and educated like "The upper class of Bangkok poeple".

    • modsquad commented : an Kan-anek and former beauty queen Savinee. Sucheera Insuwan, daughter of the dead victim, said she would consult with lawyer whether to bring the case to the Supreme Court. She said the Appeals Court verdict would serve as an interesting case study. In the night of July 4, 2007, the Mercedes Benz car driven by Kanpitak was involved in a road accident with a public bus driven by Sataporn Arunsiri. After the accident, Kanpitak hit the bus driver's forehead with a stone. The defendant later ploughed his car onto a pavement, crashing into many people at the nearby bus-stop. As a result, a woman named Saichon Luangsang was killed and seven others were injured. When confronted by onlookers at the scene, Kanpitak appeared to have convulsions. During the trial by a lower court, Kanpitak admitted to the charge of physically assaulting the bus driver but he rejected the charge of manslaughter and attempted murder. In January 2009, the lower court sentenced the defendant to 10 years and a month in jail after finding him guilty of manslaughter and attempted murder. The term was reduced by two-third from the original penalty on grounds that the defendant had provided compensation to the victims and their families and that he had a mental problem. March 6, 2013 Meanwhile: Police have forwarded the case against Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya, charging him with reckless driving causing death, and fleeing the scene of an accident on Sept 3, 2012. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/3 ... rosecutors
