What should my son do regarding joining the British Army and his obligations to the Thai military?

@Tom *******

bs 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Nongnuch *******

Let's proofread and correct, your corrections.

---

Let's pull the worst English I have ever read through a proofreading:

My son has lived in the U.K. for 18 years. He was born in Thailand but only lived there for 3 months. He wants to join the British Army, and they have asked for a letter of liability stating he has no commitment to the Thai Army. However, when you get in touch with the Thai embassy, they say all Thai men need to take part in the lottery draw. Yet, the British Army says he should be able to get a letter from the Thai Embassy in London stating he has no liability to the Thai Army. Please advise. Thanks.

Here are the changes made:

1. Removed unnecessary punctuation (" . . . .").

2. Corrected "get into touch" to "get in touch."

3. Combined sentences to improve flow and clarity.

4. Added a comma for readability ("join the British Army, and they have...").

5. Replaced "army. army." with "Army."

6. Clarified the embassy's location ("Thai Embassy in London").

7. Improved overall grammar and punctuation for clarity and readability.

@Nongnuch *******

'Let's pull the worst English I've ever read, through a proofreading' is not good English either.

, that isn’t strictly true - you do not have to be English to join the British Armed Forces and you can move from one Armed Force to another.

complete tosh!! The British Army is full of Fijian’s, Ghanaians, South Africans etc and there are transfer arrangements with many countries- Canada, Australia to name a few!!

@Radost *************************

not true I served in the Australian army with people that had served in the British Army

@Radost *************************

not true.

@Radost *************************

, there isn’t an English Army, there is the British Army and you don’t have be British to serve in it, take the Gurkhas for example. Neither are you restricted to serving in only one countries forces. Many people have served in the British Army and gone to Australia and served in their Forces and vice versa.

@Radost *************************

You missed something: he mentioned that the British Army will only accept him if he has a written exemption from the Thai Army . . . . . . Du hast etwas überlesen: er schreibt doch, die britische Army nimmt ihn erst auf, wenn er eine schriftliche Freistellung von der thailändischen Army hat

@John ****

cuntry

30-50k does the trick now.

@John *****

yeah my exhusband is half Thai half British, he got of it because his family was high-society. But yeah it sucks but it’s the law

@Brandon ***********

oh for sure! Yeah I figured that would be the price now. My ex husband is half Thai half British, but his sister is a big Thai celeb so you can imagine he got out of it easy

@Av *********

you are very right…

@Rodney *******

I worked with the Thai military for years- tell you what, not one person I met came from a well to do family. As long as your hi-so there are ways out

It's about 30-50,000 baht now depending on the province. But you can't just pay, you have to know someone who can facilitate it as an option behind closed doors.
