@tbjdiamonddog We all make mistakes and I've made some very big ones but having a passport with plenty of validity is probably the most important thing for anyone planning any kind of trip abroad.
@ absolutely, my only defence is I’ve been traveling constantly for 2 years now & when I came here over a year ago it was a 3 week holiday with return flight home booked. 14 months later I’m still here
Trevor, My passport ran out of its ten years here a year ago. No more British passport renewal in Asia now. They send it to Liverpool from here, takes 3 months to come back. You can enter Britain only in next 4 months with this passport you have now, no other country . Bangkok UK embassy has not renewed passports for 20 years.

@@alysonbyrne2098 yes I’m aware of that long term that might come into law, but i think if i did buy in Spain i would also become a resident, so then it wouldn’t affect me. Btw, just a tip those 3 bottoms on the right of where you typed, press them then you can add or edit any typo, 👍

@@HowardSmith-o1z wow, need to really look into this, but either way i dont want to come back to the uk so early in the year, now. Thanks for the info
3 months ?
I got mine back in 3 weeks a few years back.
@ that sounds promising, but im not going back to the uk until April now anyway
I replaced my passport 6 years ago at a place called Trendy House in Bangkok. They are agents for a few Western passport offices.
Someone has misinformed someone. Online now, just Google, can I renew a UK passport in Bangkok.
All the instructions will be displayed.

Do you remember the Moon and Six a Wetherspoon pub in Wardour Street ? I have a story about them, Trevor.
@@PeterBren no, not sure I do. I know the Montague Pike which fronts Charing cross road & Greek Street
@@tbjdiamonddog A pity it was a good pub.
