Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?

Re: Renewing a UK passport in Thailand
Is Anna Visa Services on Soi 94 still a good option for renewing a UK passport? My son's expires soon and I don't fancy two trips to Bangkok.

Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?
Looks like someone is importing and selling those Chinese truck extensions for around 250k which is reasonable.
