It works overseas but make sure you keep your phone number active even if you're using WiFi. My phone payment lapsed and within a few months I lost my number and access to online banking. I've just had to get a new number and reinstall app.

Make of it what you will... According to the most recent data, fine particulate matter, or PM2.5, is responsible for nearly 4 million deaths globally from cardiopulmonary illnesses such as heart disease, respiratory infections, chronic lung disease, cancers, preterm births, and other illnesses. There has been increased worry in recent years about the negative impacts of this worldwide danger. Exposure System Affected Health Effects References Short term Cardiovascular Increased rates of myocardial infarction and ischemia in those at risk Exacerbation of cardiac failure [79,80,81] Respiratory Increased incidence of arrhythmia Increased incidence of deep vein thrombosis Increased incidence of stroke Increased wheeze Exacerbation of asthma Exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Bronchiolitis and other respiratory infections Increased incidence of emergency department visits [82,83,84,85,86] Long term Cardiovascular Increased rates of myocardial infarction Accelerated development of atherosclerosis Increased blood coagulability [87,88,89] Respiratory Increase in systemic inflammatory markers Increased incidence of pneumonia Increased incidence of lung cancer Impaired lung development in children Development of new asthma [90,91,92,93,94,95] Reproductive Increased incidence of preterm birth Increased incidence of low birth weight [89,93] Brain Increased risk of Alzheimer’s Increased risk of Parkinson’s Increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases

That's great advice 👍

Beware of some volunteer rescue workers in your area. This is an excerpt from a currently unpublished article. "The pandemic drained the energy from the rescue service, shattering the momentum we’d fought so hard to build. Volunteer numbers dwindled, unity frayed, and private hospitals began offering illegal payouts to rescue workers. More unscrupulous volunteers, eager for quick, lucrative incomes, flooded the service. For old-school rescuers like me—those who joined to help people, not for profit—this created constant friction. In the old days, volunteering was about passion for humanity, not benefits. Sure, small illegal payments had crept in over the years—200 or 300 baht to cover fuel or supplies—but it didn’t compromise the ethics of the job. Most volunteers paid for their own vehicles, equipment, and petrol. But now, hospitals were offering thousands of baht for delivering insured patients, and even more if they were admitted or required surgery. Volunteers could earn a month’s salary in a single day, provided they were aggressive enough. And aggression became the problem. To ensure they reached incidents first, volunteers abandoned rescue radios and switched to private messaging apps like Line, similar to WhatsApp. They developed networks of informants—motorcycle taxi drivers, shopkeepers, rogue policemen, and even a radio operator from Erawan, the government ambulance service. For tipping them off, these informants received kickbacks of around 300 baht. Some volunteers stopped reporting incidents until they were already on scene, preventing others from arriving first. This reckless behavior delayed critical medical care and, in some cases, cost lives. Though proving this is nearly impossible, the possibility alone is deeply troubling. One case still haunts me. A young volunteer arrived at a multi-casualty accident but didn’t call it in. Instead, he ferried two injured patients to the hospital, leaving others on the roadside for 20 minutes until he returned to transport them. He earned 8,000 baht that day—more than half the average monthly wage in Thailand in 2024. All the while, other volunteers stood ready and willing to help. This greed-driven negligence put lives at risk, and it was appalling. Adding to the chaos, some volunteers stopped performing basic assessments altogether in their rush to secure their illegitimate income. I’ve even seen untrained friends or girlfriends tagging along, foundations and government regulators turning a blind eye to these serious violations. The influx of money tore apart volunteer teams, shattered friendships, and nearly obliterated the brotherhood culture that was one of greatest things about the service. Watching the system unravel was heartbreaking." Yesterday, I was in parliament where they were having a hearing on some rescue volunteers who had taken a heart attack patient to a hospital far away to get extra money. He allegedly had more heart damage than he would have if he had received earlier treatment. Not all rescue workers are like this but just be aware there are quite a few nowadays. They are often first on scene and may be useful in an emergency but if you can wait for a non-volunteer ambulance then it "may" pay to do so.

I believe that number is 1669 everywhere now including Bangkok.

Is There one for the penis!? Asking for a friend 😆👍
