Nice to see no casual racism or undue cynicism in this thread!

Of course the make of the car is not mentioned. I tried to figure it out and best I could guess was SsangYong, a Korean car. I suspected an EV but it looks like that is not the case. SsangYong does sell a hybrid. It would be interesting to know.

Looks just like a green Mazda Astina 323😉

Actually a dog with a hare lip!

Put a 35% tint on my Fortuner windscreen. It’s significantly lighter than the tints which were already on the side and rear windows, plus no issues driving at night

I think it’s all been covered above.

The Thai authorities advise you to get a yellow ‘vaccination passport’ for international travel. In Phuket it comes from the Gov’t health office in Phuket Town.

However, the UK Passenger Locator Form just requires one to declare that one is fully vaccinated under a recognized scheme (which Thailand now is).

My experience of a recent flight to London is that no one in UK is interested in looking at your proof of vaccination (at least certainly not pre-Omicron).

If you can get KLM to accept the Thai vaccination certificate provided by the hospital (best done at check-in), it’s probably job done. 
 

Ironically, in a reversal of this, my impression when I applied for the Thailand Pass online was that the Thai authorities might not have accepted the (Thai-issued) yellow vaccination passport ????. Luckily I had my Thai hospital vaccination cert with me

I assume most of those outside Thailand among us now don't miss Thailand at all, as this corrupt xenophbic banana republic.

 

But we do miss our families, girlfiends and friends there.

 

That's the only issue which counts for most of us, and this is why we can't erase this country from our memory. 

 

‘Girlfiends’, a beautifully apt typo!

You don't get to be a general unless you GET the big picture .At least that's how it works in the west. He could not go to war and its really not rocket science

Not a big deal, but if you’re a general ‘in the west’ you’re not running the country! But even a PM would likely know little or nothing about aircrew rest days unless or until he was briefed by his spads or civil servants.

I’ve flown many times (NokAir, VietJet, Bangkok Airways, Air Asia) within Thailand using only my Thai driving licence for ID, never had a problem and never been asked to provide any extra passport info. Like the OP, my driving licence shows my previous passport number

As a general you would think he knows the rest regulations of aircrew .apparently not

As a general(issimo) why would or should he know about aircrew rest days? Unless perhaps you’re talking about general knowledge...

The area of Phuket that was constantly having cases and cross infecting was Bang Tao. This is a Muslim area with NO BARS and plenty of  small Mosques.

So I appreciate what you are saying.

Dozens of bars in Bang Tao. Huge beach and lots of hotels. No more muslim than most of the rest of Phuket.

 

Yes, loads of bars but all in the Bangtao Beach area. Bangtao Beach was, for much of the lockdown, on the Surin side of the roadblocks i.e. part of a separate (from Bangtao proper) lockdown area. The area where the vast bulk of the infections occurred was in Bangtao proper, on the main road and near the market and the big mosque. I certainly have no anti-Muslim agenda, but it just so happens that that is a very predominantly Muslim area, and there are no bars whatsoever there!
