What are the requirements and best practices for applying for a visitor visa for my Thai partner to visit the UK?

Steve *******

Only #2 and #5 are correct on your list. There's NO jet lag between Thailand and the UK! Plenty of authentic Thai food, especially in London. You can easily install a 'bum gun' if needed. The clothes will go to good use in Thailand (it does actually get cold there)

What is the best way to manage my visa situation in Thailand while awaiting my parental rights after the birth of my daughter?

Steve *******

It can take at least 6 months after your child is born to obtain custody rights because you need to go through the Courts. Your best bet is using a 'border run' agency.

Can I drive in Thailand with just my home country’s driver’s license if I don't have an IDP?

Not strange at all. Been stopped at road blocks a few times, never been asked for an IDP only a driving license. It's not actually a requirement to have one.
