Driving Licences - You don't additional months until your next birthday when renewing
If your licence expired on your birthdate and you were going to get a new five year licence, you go the day after your birthdate and you get an extra 364 days. Your DTV visa isn't a long stay visa, as it is an entry of 180 days at a time. -

Bangkok Stop Over
Unfortunately there is a time limit at Bangkok airport for holding baggage - I think I was told something ridiculous like 6-10 hours. I Certainly 24 would be nigh impossible - where are they going to keep it? Be prepared to reclaim your baggage and check in again. And NO you dont need a transit visa that "thai representative" was talking out of their proverbial -

Badenoch Criticizes Starmer's McDonald’s Joke, Citing Double Standards
No, you have said its absurd, numerous times in fact you cant stop saying it but you still have nothing. I suggest you read the links in this topic or watch the videos to what she actually said in its entirety first before making continuous baseless claims. -

COVID-19 Severity Fades, But Virus Remains, says Dr. Yong
The comments expressed in the OP post here, likely sourced from some social media post by Dr. Yong, are so general as to almost be meaningless for individual people. Yes, the risks of COVID these days -- in general -- are lower than they were in the past because earlier variants of the virus had more severe health impacts, and, the worldwide COVID vaccination campaign, including here in Thailand, helped provide protection that also has overall reduced the risk of serious health effects... HOWEVER, and it's a big HOWEVER, the current health risks of COVID still remain and can be serious and even fatal, particularly for high-risk populations, such as those over age 70 and those with various chronic health conditions. Likewise, the overall risk of COVID varies by season, with Thailand typically in recent years having increased COVID infections and hospitalizations in the months starting with Song Kran and thereafter. In the U.S., in contrast, the biggest peaks typically have been in the December to January holidays period. So one's risk also depends on the time of the year. The latest Ministry of Public Health report for COVID in Thailand (see the chart below) says there were 577 COVID hospitalizations nationwide for the first week of December, and nearly 44,000 cumulative for 2024. The MOPH said there currently are 107 COVID patients hospitalized in serious condition with pneumonia type symptoms and 42 requiring intubation to breathe. Fortunately, no reported COVID deaths for Thailand in the past week, but 220 cumulative for Thailand thus far in 2024. https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/?dashboard=main In the U.S., COVID levels right now are at one of the lower points of the year, but there still were more than 500 recorded COVID deaths for most recent full week of data (the last column below in blue), the first week of November, as per the CDC chart below. The numbers below are widely expected to spike upward again toward the end of 2024 and into 2025, similar to what they did at the start of 2024. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_weeklydeaths_select_00 Overall for the U.S., the CDC reported the country had nearly 44,000 COVID fatalities during 2024 through the end of November. More than two-thirds of those involved COVID as the underlying (primary) cause of death, as opposed to being listed as a contributing cause of death. With 2024 data added in, that has brought the U.S.'s total number of COVID deaths since the start of the pandemic to more than 1.2 million (87% of those involving COVID as the underlying/primary cause). In recent times, more than three-fourths of those COVID deaths have been among the elderly. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm Even though you don't see news headlines about COVID deaths and hospitalizations so much any more, the virus continues to take its toll on the health and lives of people, especially among the elderly, and even moreso among the elderly who are not up-to-date on their COVID vaccinations.
