  1. Belgian consulates are delivering two types of short term passports : - Emergency passport only valid to travel back to Belgium - Temporary passport with one year validity
  2. I will... I am cruising around Mediterranean sea until end of September and have no time -and no envy- to go back to Belgium for a new passport. I am flying out with Turkish Airlines from Istanbul where I am going to stay for a few days before departure. Just in case I realize that I will not be allowed to board their flight, Belgian consulate will issue me, within a day, an emergency one-year temporary passport which will do the trick.
  3. A bit of update... I asked immigration at Suvarnabhumi airport before flying out last weekend. They said that I will not have any trouble to re-enter Thailand with my actual passport as soon as I am coming back before my extension expires. They said, as well, that some airlines might be reluctant to let me board the plane ; but if that happens, I just need to sign a form stipulating that if I am denied to enter Thailand I will have to pay for costs of repatriation.
  4. Thanks Crossy. I can also double check with immigration at Suvarnabhumi before leaving. You can close this topic if needed.
  5. I am Belgian but I have no plan at all to visit Belgium if I do not need to renew it. My legal address is in Thailand and I am registered at my embassy in Bangkok. More convenient for me to wait for a new passport while in Thailand.
  6. I am off to Europe until end of September. My passport is valid until January 29, 2024. My retirement extension ends at the same date and I have re-entry permit. Will I be able to re-enter Thailand with less than six months passport validity?
  7. Spot-on... None of my gay friends, either Westerners or Asians, are attracted to ladyboys.
  8. I am off in two weeks for six months. First time in 30 years that I am going to spend such a long time outside SE-Asia. But time is ripe to rediscover Western Europe before the great replacement and total chaos.
  9. Well before that... The beginning of the end started circa 2002 when Purachai was interior minister and launched his moral crusade.
  10. Rule number one: there are no rules!
  11. Very accurate movie. Three generations of my family lived in Katanga and I was born nearby Jadotville, in Elisabethville, nowadays called Lubumbashi. But I only spent the first six months of my life in Katanga before my parents decided to move back to Belgium.
  12. List of the first music videos broadcast on MTV's first day, August 1, 1981.
  13. Already discussed +40 years ago...
  14. I was just kidding... You are right, this is just a seedy border town same as Sadao, Poipet and Tachilek.
