UK Travel

posted on 31 Aug 2005 00:39 by kaze

Language: English (Because I cannot type in Thai,
but you can comment in Thai,My english skills
don't good enough, then it'll have mistakes.)

Now, I am staying in Surbiton, UK(United Kingdom)
which is south west from London.
This is the first time of server things in my life.

After last updated my blog, I did several things.

Passport
I and my colleague just known about this travel in August 18
and my boss wanted to us went to UK as soon as posible,
I was one of the traveller group who didn't have a passport,
then I would go to Ministry of foreign affairs on next day alone
to apply for a passport. Since August 2005, you would receive
e-Passport instead.
At the present, If you would like to apply for a passport and
stay in Bangkok, you can contact at Jaengwattana brach,
Central city Bangna or Central city Pinklaow and I applied at first place.
My passport application had 2 problems, The first was my first name
spelling, it had 'eur' pronounciation and officer recommended
to change 'ur' to 'oe', but I didn't want to change it.
Finally, My first name still use 'ur'.

Note: 'eur' pronounciation can spell the difference.

ir - bird
er - merge
ur - nurse
oe - Phloen Chit (I have never seen in English vocab.)

The another problem was my signature because the signature
of bearer in passport application form must be larger than
normal (high 1.5-2 cm. estimately), then I used the typical write
instead. Althrough, if you seeat passport, signature is smaller
than form and I don't understand why does it doing for.
Finally, I got my passport in August 22.

Visa
I didn't apply for visa immediately after I got the passport
because I waited invited letter from my company in UK,
this document seem to effect for applying easily.
I applied for visa in August 24 and got it on next day.

Flight & Accommodation
I just got confirmation about my flight and accomodation
in August 26 that my flight took off in August 27 night
(00.25 am of August 28) and I would stay in Hotel a few days
before move to apartment

Airport
August 27, 2005. I just prepared luggage in this day,
I went to The mall for finding everything which I didn't have.
In the evening, I leaved from my house at 8.40 pm.
and arrived to Donmuang airport at 9.30 pm. When everyone
of my group(4 people) arrived to Donmuang, We checked-in
at Gate 15, Our flight is British Airways, but operated by
Qantas Airways because the both merged, it flied from
Donmuang airport to Heathrow airport with non-stop,
but we got a bad news which the flight delayed about 1 hour
and15 minutes, After checked-in luggage,We went into the traveller
section and were checked the passport by Thai Immigration
Bureau
. This section had many store and sell in normal rate,
Afterthat, We passed the scan process to section which traveller
stay for wating before take in airplane, product which sell in these
very expensive (water 55 bath *o*)...

to be continue....

ตอนทำ paasport จำไม่ได้ว่าไปทำที่ไหน แต่ใช้เวลา 15นาทีเสร็จ แต่ของ VISA เนี้ย ทั้งวันเพื่อทำ และรออีกวันมารับ(เขาว่าเร็วแล้วนะ) แต่ก็อย่างว่าแหละ บางคนก็มีอภิสิทธิ์ได้เลยในทันที(อ. ข้าพเจ้าก็ทำได้)

เออ รู้สึกว่านายกำลังจะต้องเผชิญกับปัญหาหลัก คือการพูดคุยกับคนอังกฤษแท้ เขาจะไม่เข้าใจสำเนียงอันชัดถ้อยชัดคำของเรานัก(ไม่เหมือนเมกา) ดังนั้นลองนึกถึงสำเนียงของอ.รันบี ซิงก์ ใส่เข้าไปเขาจะฟังรู้เรื่องกว่า(คนอินเดียมีมากในลอนดอน) หรือออกไปสำเนียงจีนก็ได้(สูงๆต่ำๆ) ถ้าพูดชัดๆจะฟังไม่ออก กระแดะนิดๆไม่ต้องอาย เขาจะฟังรู้เรื่อง(พูดถึงเวลาแกไปซื้อของตามร้านค้า ระวังพูดไม่รู้เรื่องจะโดนฝรั่งมุง)

อีกอย่าง ลอนดอน ต้องอ่านว่า ล้อนดึ่น นะเดี๋ยวเขาจะด่าเราได้ว่าเรียกเมืองเขาผิด

I don't have any problem for speaking,
But I have problem for listening with scotish or
irelish because he/she talk very fast and speed up
after 3 conversation until you cannot catch it and tell
him/her, then he/she will slow again.
