British and Living in Thailand? .. this is for you!

This is a recording of a Town Hall Meeting for British Nationals Living in Chiangmai Thailand on Friday 13th January 2023

Given by HM Consul Joanne Finnamore-Crorkin from the British Embassy in Bangkok.
Intro by Ben Svasti Thomson the Honorary British Consul based in Chiangmai

Joanne has been in Thailand since October 2022 and this is the first time she has lead a Town Hall meeting in Thailand (The first of several planned)

TECHNICAL NOTE
I did not plan to record this meeting but found myself at it with my iPad and no one seemed to be doing a recording .... the whole video was then edited on my iPad using Apple's free iMovie.

The only session missing from the recording was when I stood up to highlight the situation of UK Gov. Pensions being frozen in Thailand. The only suggestion to raise the profile of this issue was to "Write to your MP"

... if you have other suggestions about this then leave a note in the 'comments' below.

Also, especially if you were at the meeting, please use the comments below for your feedback.

You may be forwarded to a help desk in London ... but if that happens then it will still be at Thai local phone rates ... not international.
Generally the Embassy is not designed to cater for casual walk-in visitors.

I hope this is helpful to you.
