I have been to the Royal Thai Consulate in Birmingham, U.K. twice now to get a multiple re-entry visa and each time I found it extremely difficult to find.

The website of the Royal Thai Consulate in Birmingham gives the address and post code of the Consulate but does not have a map. I have tried to locate the place using Google Maps and Streetmap and of course using my SatNav.

Everytime with no success. Well, I can’t say no success because in the end I did find the Consulate by walking tound and asking people.

It was with great joy then that I came across Maps To The Royal Thai Consulate, Birmingham, UK. on the official RetiringInThailand website.

Hi everyone,

If you are thinking of retiring to Thailand, building or buying a house or car  in Thailand, or just contemplating going there for a vacation, then this is the website you ought to be visiting often, because that’s exactly what the website is all about.

Just one more thing, Thailand is a pretty big country stretching from the well known Chaing Mai in the north to the holiday paradise of Phucket in the south and a bit more besides.

Pakchong – “The Gateway To The North” (Of Thailand)

Pakchong (Or Pak Chong as some people call it) is my retirement destination so there will be quite a lot of information directly related to Pakchong. Not many (if any in fact) websites focus on Pakchong, most specialise in Phucket or Chaing Mai if they specialise in one location at all.

Pakchong claims to be the “The Gateway To The North” because it is at the south-western edge of Nakhon Ratchasima Province which leads to the North of Thailand.

How To Retire In Style In Thailand On A Budget

Retiring In Thailand – How To Retire In Style In Thailand On A Budget is as you would expect a website explaining how to have a comfortable retitrement in Thailand even if your cash resources are a little scant.

It lists 5 reasons why people choose to retire in Thailand:-

1. Wonderful scenery both inland and on the coast

2. Food that is totally mystifying and a pleasure both to look at and to taste but that is also very inexpensive

3. Wonderfully hot climate (but it also poors down 24/7 in the rainy season!)

4. Extremely low cost of living

5. And of course the friendlyness and tolerance of the Thai people
