Here is a Greenpeace report attached about the air pollution in Thailand if someone is interested in reading more about this subject. the-burden-of-air-pollution-in-thailand_2021.pdf

OK good to know that it is not just me. Hopefully the server will be up and running again soon. Thanks.

Hi, I just wonder if there is problem with sending the newsletter? Or is it maybe public holiday? I have not got it since yesterday morning. That was the last one. Best Regards Captor

I have read about this subject that time when I bought our Coway air purifiers. The coway filters where with the Hepa 12 standard ad the Xiaomi only where Hepa 11. Not big difference but I still want the best concidering particles (ex. PM 2.5) goes into the blood via the lungs. Not care about the costs if I can live 10 year longer. About same amount that are dying on the road in Thailand are dying due to the bad air. The air is very bad in Thailand. This is not spoken about so much.

And they are not real Hepa filters.

That is only about Chinese tourists ????

Not to mention the dirty air the fireworks creates!

Deleting the app in NOT enough! You need to do a complete factory reset. There are different resets, use the one that complete resets the phone to factory status. Not the one that saves personal information like contacts, photos etc.

Your passport don´t change number every time you renew it? That is my case.

Dear Toolong, you where not slow. I was! I just answered you yesterday ???? Yes, this is very interesting and all this happen the last 3 weeks. So it is not old information. Chaeng Wattana was on Monday as I got the 1 year extension so that was a perfect opportunity to raise this question with them in the main Immigration of Thailand. But it was not known by them. Talked with the correct people there. Not the extension officer. I would like to hear if others have any knowledge about this as well. I have also heard about people having this restriction (in Thai) on the backside of the license for many years already and not know about it as it is in Thai and they have driven all around in Thailand and also been stopped by the police several times with no problem ????. At least it is a good idea to ask at DLT next time about this and then choose passport or ID card. The person at the amphure called them and asked about this as it was news for him and then DLT just hanged up the phone! The man at the am amphure called 2 times with the same result. It was surrealistic! It is worth to mention that this maybe can affect the insurance if having an accident. So better check with them as well. I would be happy to hear if you find more information about this. I personally have decided to bring the international driving license with me all the time and after 2 years I will renew it with the passport for the 5 years driving license.

Be careful with using the yellow book/pink ID for driving license. I did use that and afterwards I found out that the driving license was only valid in the province where the yellow book was issued. In my case only BKK. That is written on the backside of the driving license. DLT said I must apply for a document from the amphure when going outside BKK. But the amphure did not know anything about that. Same with the police (they said bring the international driving license too to be sure) and Immigration in Chaeng Wattana did not know anything either of this. So no one seems to know anything but it look like it is better using the passport when renew or taking new driving license. Or converting the license from the home country. Then you can drive outside the province it look like. Thai logic. However it is better using the pink ID when opening a bank account for the 400 000 or 800 000 because the ID number never changes. The passport number changes after 5 years when renew and then you need to renew the bank account as well. That will be checked when you apply for a 1 year extension.

Don't you have .,?! signs on your keyboard? Your comments are extremly difficult to read and easy to missunderstand.

Wow!

Wow! Very nice, reminds me of Gary Moore. Thanks!

You are in the right place already. All wisdom out there is here at asean now.

Me too at CW 2 weeks ago.

The Embassy can not post them to you?

I think it all was about the good old "loosing face" issue. He could not bare being without the job and the yaba business income. He had probably the "big man" syndrome.

And hopefully the new vaccines against omicron comes. I went to Bang Sue 4 weeks ago and found out that the Moderna was outdated and not against omicron same as they give i Europe now.

I think so. I am married and working on getting my name in the Yellow Tabian Ban. My wife has the blue Tabian ban. I also want to convert my driving license after that. I think that is all. I also have a legalized letter from my embassy (Swe) stating my address and passport. We are waiting for that letter now coming back translated and legalized from Immigration.

Thanks all for your comments. I am going to fix a pink ID-card and then tie that to my bank account for sure. Less hassle and also easy to forget if having changed passport,

I see, very good info. Thanks Dr Jack. You are most helpful as always.

OK, then I know. Nong Khaem is Bangkok but I understand now that you meant CW when you said Bangkok. So I think there is not that requirent in Nong Khaem. Hopefully ????

Dr Jack, This about 90 day report for residence certificate (yellow book). Is that also required if married with a thai? My wife was there in Nong Khaem and asked and they mentioned noting about that. However they asked if we are married.

Great, thanks. I am "on" the the yellow house book at the moment.
