Anyone have a translation of the steps to K1 and maybe the flowchart in Thai so that I can try to explain this all to my fiance?

Maybe a link to a site in Thai or something?

Oh and I'm kind of kicking myself because I was just there and while I have all our boarding passes and stuff I forgot to copy her passport and stamps into Indonesia & Malaysia!!!

I only have the "Order of Documents" in Thai- sorry I can't help ya out there.

But you can have her get it translated into Thailand pretty cheaply.

I left my fiance enough money for translations, copying, internet, plane ticket upcountry to her Amphur. But I didn't get copies of her passport as it was unused. I just assume we'll have to FedEx, DHL, or UPS. She'll be broke sooner than I thought I guess!

She sent me a package with some photographs. Weighed less than pound and was about the size of one of those fold up boxes you ship a cd in... anyway she sent it some kind of express service from the post office and it was about 200 baht. Was supposed to get here in 4 days or so but took more than 2 weeks.

I sent her a bank debit card (to reduce the cost of getting her cash) by FedEx (maybe it was DHL) anyway it got there safe and sound on the 3rd day.

ding,

USPS. Sometimes regular international airmail, sometimes Global Priority, on rare occassion Global Express.

Yodrak,

What about FEDEX international priority? That method is not too expensive. Just don't select overnight or 2 day service. Priority is 3-7 days, be sure to clarify that in advance, you will pay about USD35.

In my case, I can take advantage of corporate rates, I sent heavy doc packages to remote areas in Indonesia for USD17, about half of the standard rate. Check the rate before signing up.

FEDEX is trackable online too. :thumbs:

I'm not sure if the information you seek is available at this website but I think your fiancee would probably find it helpful anyway. My Thai wife enjoys checking it frequently.
