Since yesterday I have a new Dutch passport and I know that I have to report and change it to various authorities, including .immigration and my bank. Question: should this also apply to my Thai driver's license, which must be renewed in April 2024?

I have been together with my Thai wife for 5 years. In September 2020 our daughter was born in Thailand. Due to the travel restrictions due to Corona, I did not receive permission from the Thai authorities to travel into Thailand. We weren't married at the time. To great sadness I therefore could not be present at the birth. My name is listed on our daughter's birth certificate as the father.
Thailand question: Going to Thailand with my daughter, she has a Thai and Dutch passport?

Thailand question: Can I get extra pages in my Dutch passport?
I live with my wife in Hua Hin and both have a Dutch passport. Now 2 years ago I applied for a new passport (with double the number of pages) in the Netherlands because the old passport was already full within 5 years. However, my wife still had a passport with enough free pages and was able to move on. However, now she only has 4 pages left and wants to travel again (no more covid restrictions).
