Health Insurance: Not Just for the Sick or the Scared At 63, I’m fully insured—and I sleep better for it. That’s despite being a regular at the gym, walking most days, and generally taking better care of myself now than I did in my 40s. But I’m also old enough to know that health isn’t just about how clean your diet is or how many steps you clock on your Fitbit. The thing is, health insurance isn’t one-size-fits-all. We all have different genetic baggage. Some of us are walking around with family histories like ticking time bombs—heart disease, cancers, strokes—while others come from lines of good fortune or luck, who lived to 100 on a diet of whisky and sarcasm. It’s a total lottery. Yes, the young and invincible often scoff at insurance. We've all heard the classic: “They never pay out anyway!” But dig a little deeper, and it’s usually down to something like non-disclosure of pre-existing conditions. Insurers won’t shout that bit from the rooftops, but it’s there in the small print. And while Aunty Madge might’ve made it to 103 on 60 smokes a day and a diet of condensed milk and biscuits, that doesn’t mean the rest of us will. Life throws curveballs. A freak accident, a dodgy scan, a slipped disc from lifting your suitcase wrong—and suddenly you're five-star private hospital material with a six-figure bill. I have narrowly missed death twice, once on a broken JetSki in Pattaya, and I tried to swim to shore. I misjudged just how far it was; I was rescued by a German man on a sailboat. I have never been so happy to see another human being. The other occasion was when an eighteen-wheeler took a corner at speed in Siem Reap and missed me by millimetres, my hair stood on end, and I shook for about 10 minutes—unforeseeable incidents. Health insurance doesn’t guarantee anything, but it does buy peace of mind. And in this part of the world, that’s not a bad trade-off.

That's terrible. You can't tell farmers they can't use the water from the Mekhong for crops. ...what else can they do? All boarder governments must fix this problem quickly.

I love Project 25!

You do realize when lie and make false claims, they are liars. Dude lied. He claimed the Texas National Guard had not been deployed, and it had. That is not an opinion. Like it's your opinion that Trump is a worse liar than Biden or Obama, but that would just be your opinion. In my opinion, Obama and Biden were both worse.

Sorry, not buying it. You need to chill. You are acting erratic and I'm really trying to empathize with all the angry rants of yours. Just try to be a little better of a person. I'm over it now 🙂

What is for sure, is that non (very few ) of the wealthy moving to Thailand would consider anywhere in Isarn as a future home!

Even Hulk would find someone here

Sad git

Rainbow perspectives are now suspect !

The desk is far right side when you enter queue issue desk area. You need the form filled in. If you wish just go down to L1 and say to photocopy shop "certificate of residence" and hand over passport. It costs 200b Will be posted out ems in about 5 business days. If you have a lease then include that.. TM30 also good idea however you will find they may require nothing..

Yes, but only the criminal element.

Not only inside Big C stalls on the ground and first floor have gone as Cafe Amazon has, now a ‘portakabin’ outside on Klang albeit the place is full of those ‘illegal’ gaming machines with the soft toys you never mange to grab.

I call both of them by their shorter name, simply because its easier to write as both have less letters

After betraying the Syrian Kurds, he confirmed traitor status. BTW, where are the rest of the documents from his toilet?

More like he had something in his pants, hence the cover up.

Since Trump's inauguration and the immediate implementation of an agenda that mysteriously mimics the denied Project 2025 edict the Maga devout have willingly assisted in eventually passing a piece of federal legislation which within months if not weeks will come to bite them in the nether regions like a rabid dog ! The risk that the oligarchs that have financed the social extortion program that has now been set in motion will dictate a further escalation of major war to distract the gullible and commit them to "saving the Nation". It may be that the mass individuals being ejected from the US are being granted a short term favor as not becoming eligible for involuntary suicidal conscription as are Ukrainian and Russians in a proxy war. Heaven forbid that global peace should ever break out and the US would need repatriate HOW MANY military personnel from global insertion? What then to do with hundreds of thousands of people primarily trained to "kill" ? Because if winning is the goal it will be via tech that does not require martyrs of allegiance to a TV series personality! But potential "on behalf of " heroes given a plated posthumous medal by agents of the oligarchs just might reject the concept . Oh pooh! Nationalism is all well and fine until some idiot creates major civil unrest and identifiable cause for revolt. History has demonstrated that heads can literally roll ! Good luck y'all !

Oh, sorry, I thought this was you: Again, my apologies.

Any name to this reservist, oh no, unsourced and unverified allegations again. What a surprise from you.

Yes, to name three that would be easier to transport, harder to detect, and provide a higher cash yield. Cocaine and MDMA also spring to mind.

Sorry, but this is just nonsense, this country is now attracting wealthy people by the hatful. Would you prefer to live in Zug or Lichtenstein?

In my experience this is mainly what they think. $$$$$$$$

Brought to Thailand by their friends over the border it's bad pollution

Thanks! Appointment made already. I assume you can write by hand "open bank account" or something, as the application form only notes "drivers license" or Buy/Sell car:motorbike as the use for the COR. I'll just leave it empty and ask on the spot... Cheers!
