Hi All
Advice please for a newbie going to Thailand on 21 February (hopefully ๐ค) from the UK.
I understand UK Citizens have to fly direct to Thailand.
1. Is it only Thai Airways who fly direct?
2. Going on an O-A visa (Retirement) which I will complete Monday or Tuesday once I receive my Health Insurance certifications, is 3 weeks long enough to send passport to Thailand Embassy and receive back and also then obtain the COE?
Thanks
