Expats How Do You Deal With The Toxic Air Pollution in Thailand?
I have been going away to the seaside while I can afford it. Also has an air purifier at home in CM and in the car as well. People with chest conditions should not be exposed to the hazardous conditions. Sadly some can’t afford to move away temporarily and end up as a medical statistic, either in hospital admission or death. It’s not a question of we all have to die someday, but we can have a choice of not prolonging the agony of suffering long before death or suffering of our loved ones ( those who have). Primary prevention is getting there before the disease or illness eg with vaccines or taking other positive measures. Secondary, is having to have treatment for the condition, as an out-patient or in-patient. Teritary, is when the condition becomes chronic. Research has also proven that hereditary factors also play a part but we can still minimize the risk. My reply is not meant to be a sermon, but really just sharing my experience from 40 years in the Nursing profession, working in Sanatoriums ( In a coal- mining district), Chest Hospitals, Elderly care etc etc and watching helplessly at times as people suffer. Maybe after all it’s ‘ Karma’ ?? I somehow had to find the resilience to soldier on, because I felt we all are free to make our own choices in life, although some did not have much of a choice eg working in some conditions in the mining industry. But it’s irresponsible and selfish to label this topic as “ paranoia”, even if it’s prevalent in other countries, as some have indicated. -

Driver's License Procedures Chiang Mai - 2020
Not doubtful but impossible on a legal way. Med.cert. always required since a few years. Physical tests (eye sight and reaction) at every extension. All else is shady/illegal/corrupt . Nothing CM specific. -

Why Some Brits Envy America’s Donald Trump
Would you rather they were poor people who had never run anything and never been a success then? They have just pledged 500 billion for AI development, would you rather that was spent on illegal immigrants and giving money to Ukraine? All you ever do is gripe and moan, try being positive for once. -

Love Wins: Bangkok Celebrates First Day of Equal Marriage Says "I Do
No, that's wrong. Maybe in your area. But if you want to get a higher position in the army or police eg, and want to live with your partner, then it's almost impossible. -

Bored of Bangkok... Any advice to an alternative place to live?
I love KBuri. It was always my favorite weekend getaway from working in Bangkok. Nowadays I try to get up there on my monthly visa runs to Thailand, including last weekend. I absolutely love the Saturday night street market. But I'm just not sure it's got enough variety to live there full time, especially as a non-drinker. If I can get a decent room at $100 or $200 a month, I may go ahead and have a dual residency in Bangkok and KBuri. It would be good to have a place to store an SUP and canoe/kayak so I don't have to haul them up from BKK like I did when I worked at Asoke. Bangkok for the excitement and KBuri for the sanity breaks.
