i dunno call me crazy but they helped me at no cost, it was easy and not time consuming

@Richard ********

ya the bank helped me organize all the documents to help me ship it to the embassy as i said. Anyways im sure its useful for someone out there to know for future reference so why bother being a jerk?

Transfer to a friend and let them take it out the ATM

If it helps, it doesn't take too long to get a new passport from inside Thailand, you can get all the paperwork done at Bangkok Bank (any location), and send it in yourself, with no meetings at the embassy. I did it from koh phangan, it took less than 3 weeks. But if youre in the US then maybe my answer doesn't help at all... Sorry to hear

my mom lost everything doing this in costa rica. Take it from us, dont sell the house before you know everything like the back of your hand 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@John ********

agreed, do not sell the house. Maybe rent the house out on a year lease to a nice family, and live in Thailand one year renting and get to know everything backwards and forwards first (including visas, housing, banking, health care, getting close connections with locals and foreigners who will help you, etc etc) The value of your house in UK will only increase as years pass, and renting it to a family will act as good passive income for you. If you feel the same way in 2 years and understand everything and have your connections, then sell it, or just keep renting it. Its a good lot of land you have in UK, dont give it up.

I believe there is a 'Muay Thai Visa'... Or at least there was a couple years ago.
