@Us ****

it's ok to have an opinion. I see nothing wrong with that. Personally as a guy born in what one used to call the working class in Manchester and having left the UK aged 21 for the USA I think everyone can make their own judgements. I will say thar every timec I return to my homeland it's depressingly worse than I anticipated. Hence my living in Thailand.

sir I agree with you. I have lived in Georgia, Spain, Armenia,The USA, Puerto Rico ,Costa Rica and now Thailand and am from the UK.

The misconception of paper wasting killing trees continues . The biggest tree " lo l er" is the construction industry and then furniture. Paper is an offshoot.

@Ruth ******

I'll need a new passport in 2028 but my current one is almost full with very little space.

@Meg ******

on my last return to California Ibwas qyestioned at lenght by US immigration and quite rudely. Why have you been out of the country for 5 months? What do you do in Thailsnd? Why did you go yo Csmbodia and Vietnsm? Why do you still have a Green Card after 20 years? Why aren't you applying for US citizenship? Where did you stay when overseas ( I don't see how that is actually relevant). Who is at your home in California while you are away? It was bizarre.

@Meg ******

I have a UK passport and an American Green Card and split time between the UK,California and Thailand. Maybe it my lack of permanent locale but I am always asked.

I have always been asked when flyin in from anywhere . Also it used to be de rigeur to be asked at immigration for your exit ticket . Maybe I look shifty and travels too much!

Jila is correct you have to apply outside the country amd I have read that the approval process varies in time from country to country. You also can't apply more than 3 months in advance and obviously need the 500k baht in a Thai bank plus health insurance.

Brandon, I would assume you can apply at any embassy outside of Thailand but my question is more about which courses are accepted besides Muay Thai which seems to be very popular.

I know but I'll be in the UK for 5 months since I called the Thai Embassy in London.
