That AQICN site seems to have lost Hang Dong - it dropped off the map (about a week ago?) and hasn't re-appeared since.

I've been using Accuweather which tells be things are OK - highest PM2.5 reading that last couple of weeks was about 70. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any history values

Hmm - you don't mention make or model.

I have a Resmed Airsense 10 and the electronics part (the on-off switch) packed up while I was living in Singapore. There is a Resmed dealer there so I took it to them. They said they would have to replace the whole electronic kit-n-kaboodle which would would be more expensive than a new unit.

He then showed me what the health-care providers of the device never did - it is possble to switch the thing on and off automatically by a setting. Basically when I put the mask on it starts and after taking the mask off after a few seconds it stops. All I want it to do. 

Maybe that would fix your problem. Good luck.

I was bored reading it 

You must be a really slow reader 🙂

booking directly with the airline.

Plus your contract is with the airline and not some web site whose only interest is to sell the ticket, after that you're on your own. I ALWAYS book with the airline direct.

completely different statement to what the OP is asking about. 

So what? The information is still valid and is an example of how bank staff do NOT understand immigration requirements.

Go to bank. Ask for "letter for immigration". Easy.

You'd think so wouldn't you? I tried three or four times at my bank (both at my local branch and the one next to the IMO in CM ) and only finally got it right in the end. I needed a single page with dates and amounts of forreign trasnfers over the last 12 months. Despite saying "I need this for immigration" this turned out to be Rocket Science for the unamed (begins with a "B" which is also a capital city) bank staff

And, on a personal note, I would just like to add how helpful. friendly and with reasonable English ALL the staff at the IMO showed to me. 

Good post.

I just got my first retirement extension today from CNX IMO. Took me four attempts to get the correct "certificate" as BBL screwed up on the 12-months - need 12 months worth of statements plus ONE page highlighting the foreign money transfers of 65k monthly. Now I I knoww I'll get it better next time.

Well, I'll make sure BBL do better.

give it back to them.

 

Which I will when I get back and copy all my personal stuff off first which they have not warned me before I left the country that I should do it.

what's your point of this post?

Sorry posts have to have  a "point" now? Um, your point being? When I get back I will post the device to them.

Good luck with that. The ISP modem is switched off - maybe there's a secret SIM card in the laptop 🙂 

I have left my job and out of the country so it's not physically possible to switch them on even if I wanted to. Maybe they'll use black magic or ESP?

A female colleague suggested I pay a business expense with my credit card. "Puyll out your floppy friend" she said (meaning "flexible" as per the Access ad). "What a Freudian slip!" I replied adding "You promised you would never tell anyone".

My AIS along with other mobile phone apps wokrs by directly using some sort of managment protocol for service info ON THE PHONE YOU ARE USING.

On a PC, At best it would log in to the AIS service via a web connection - just google it and connect to the service via a browser. No doubt it will send login info to YOUR PHONE for validation.

Dig up some mines from nearby conflict zones and plant then round your house. The explosion when stepped on should be a good alarm. Try not to step on them when watering the plants and warn the gardener (tongue in cheek reply not serious honest)

Update for anyone intrested: went today with all forms, six months bank statements (all our local brance could do there) waited ovr an hour and a half becore I saw someone. First problem, the form they gave me on the first visit was WRONG - I need a PM7 not PM87. How stupid of me no to notice.

Second problem, "volunteeer" said I need a certificate with the bank statements. Off to BBL branch in Central Airport Plaza, got it less than ahour. Then presented the documents to the desk - "no good! Must be 12 months!" I grabbed my "volunteer" who said that's stupid you only arrived in December, he talked to the uniformed one who was insistent. Back to my LOCAL branch, this time ordered TWELVE months - pick up next week. At least I hope it is 12 - from 01/02/23 to yesterday, 51 weeks - think they'll mind?

I use Seretide.

My Siwss doctor changed be from Beclamethasone (inhaler) to this and I am convinced it caused my weight gain. I went back to Beclamethasone  aersol inhaner which is not universally available but I've found two or three chemists in Chiang Mai that stock it. It's also was suppoed to be a wonder cure for Covid.....

draw up an emergency plan within 90 days,

By which time the rain will be here - problem solved!

Didn't they do EXACTLYthe same last year - wait ninety days then say "crisis? What crisis?"

Snap! Just dug a "pond"  last week 1/4 Rai same (6 metres deep) my main worry is falling into it can anybody suggest good (NOT expensive, I know that is a contradiction in terms) fencing of some sort? 

AIS send me at least once a day a meaningless SMS to ask me to get their latest product (or the whole message is in Thai so I don't know what it is) - I always ignore them. Does this mean I should look out for the one that actually means something?

Don't know if anyones posted it and I'm not wading through three pages of whinging and whining but you need to register:

Finally! I voted right up to my limit and then a little beyond - I think the tenants in our hous were filling in the electoral register for me

OK, for fifty years I've been rolling numbers that were I have to say it "meh".  Almost all were smokeable, some needed "repairing". The ready-rolled ones in the shops I've found are PERFECTLY MADE - what's their secret? Do they have a machine?
