News reports on CM Facebook pages say the roo has been found dead.

Why is this in Isaan news?  Another geographical brain failure?

Seatbelts need to be worn at all times while seated.

No matter how "uncomfortable" it is.

Fair enough, but what about when walking around the cabin?

And then. they never buy rice from Thailand again 😉

I haven't seen any crops burning in months. The forest are however being lit on fire every week for months. 

Rice harvest just about finished around Chiang Mai, coincided with end of burning ban at end of April.  Farmers now burning their fields.  

They still burn even though they use tractors to plough their fields.  It's local tradition.  Last night pm2.5 concentration over 120 ug/m3 inside the bedroom before I turned the air filter on.

Decathlon sell them.

Have they released the number dying due to the smoke (or dust as they seem to prefer to call it)?

I don't know other than not feeling well for a long time, yet I've had a complete blood workup and physical and there is nothing in my tests that stands out.  Anyway, I'm looking for options.  So I'm considering a consultation there.  But I'd like to get feedback first.

Make an appointment to see Dr Morgan at the Healthcare Medical Centre that is almost directly across the road from Geriatric hospital.

Yes, not a good place to reside if you're cracking on a bit.......🤔

Or visit for a holiday at this time of the year.   How many will read about the pollution & make a mental note to never visit, whatever the time of year?

Pollution is all over UK press, especially Chiang Mai, "the worst polluted city in the world".

My overseas bank just sent me a letter advising me they need me to supply a TIN for Thailand, it is an international requirement.

 

so far my banks have accepted a declaration that no TIN is needed.

"not required to be registered for tax in Thailand".  

Anyone having login problems with this website?  Can't login.  When I refreshed the torrents page it logged me out.

I've tried contacting support & they can't see any problem with my account.  I've tried both my pc & phone using different connections.

Renewed my one-year visa yesterday. Now they require photos from two different angles outside your home - not sure why. So, we had to go home and take more photos but the lady was very nice and said she would process it provided we dropped the photos off later which we did. She could have easily said come back and wait in line again - a refreshing change. We arrived at 0715 and were 5th in the queue and finished around 1045.

 

Go back on May 17th.

 

Also, she told us not to sign original documents like the bank statement/certificate and the proof of marriage certificate - only required on copies apparently.

 

I normally do one outside the gate & one in the garden with house in both shots.  Do you think that would that satisfy their "2 angles"?

If your docs were not ok (ie form not filled in) you had to step out of the queue to fill it in and wait to get your number.

Do they have a photocopier?
