Getting harder to call out China for for being a communist dictatorship when you have UK (and Google) doing it's best to crush any sort of freedoms or liberties they can.

driving license renewal
RE Early renewal yeh that may be right. Thanks for the correction. Still better off doing it after it expires to get almost a full extra year.

Renew 5 year Driving License, Banglamung vs Rayong
You absolutely can pick and choose. Most people in Phuket at the moment are doing theirs in Phang Nga or Surat as Phuket is full up for months in advance. Personally I recently did mine in Issan with a medical cert and Residence cert that were issued in Phuket.

driving license renewal
Reading the comments here nothing much to add. I recently did mine but had to do it another province. Only points I would add is I was asked for 2 sets of docs for each licence. Also if you renew it shortly after it expires you basically get a whole extra year. Eg, renew it 1 week after the expiry and get 5 years, 11 months and 3 weeks validity. Conversely renew it before it expires and get less than 5 years validity.

Thailand Faces Calls to Publicise Updated Entry Rules
I totally understand the part where they are simply enforcing the rules. Phuket immigration recently clarified these and it was a story here was it not? The tourism vibe on the ground at the moment is dismal and over run by russians pretending to be tourists or cheap indians and arabs. You could pick something negative about every nationality but when they are saturated like they are it really makes a difference. Cleaning up fake tourism and people abusing the system I understand. However, harassing people who did everything by the book and paid—often thousands—for a long-term visa is a misstep. It creates unnecessary anxiety. Taking people’s money for a visa and then undermining it later through vague or shifting rules feels borderline dishonest. If people who followed the rules and paid good money still don’t feel secure, it’s hard to blame anyone for thinking twice about staying or applying at all. Referring to a growing number of stories like this:

PM Anutin Dissolves House, Calls for February Elections
Is the big amendment a secret or just an afterthought here? Specifically: It proposed that at least one-third of the 200 appointed senators must approve any constitutional amendment. Requiring their approval would make real constitutional change much harder, especially changes sought by the opposition. The opposition was about to file a no-confidence (censure) motion, which he was likely to lose because his government lacks enough MPs. By dissolving the House, he blocks the censure vote, resets everything, and forces a general election instead. The chaos happened because: Anutin’s party suddenly switched sides at the last minute to support this senator-approval requirement. That reversal derailed the amendment process and triggered the political fallout that led to dissolving parliament.
