Last time I looked English is called English, not American, And as Headstart follows a British curriculum with British exams I'd suggest that the correct proper English spellings are taught. Glad to say that after nearly two years in England, my daughter has lost her International school pseudo American accent (from Headstart) and it's been replaced with the more pleasant tones of southwest London.

Funny how all the same stories from pre-covid are cropping up again! -
Health minister Anutin named acting transport minister
madmitch replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Isn't Parliament due to be dissloved this month? If so he'll be in the role less time than Kwasi Kwarteng was UK Chancellor. And surely even Anutin couldn't cock up as much as Kwarteng did! -
Thailand’s tourism ministry targets 80 million foreign arrivals by 2027
madmitch replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The man is a genius. He will double tourist numbers and alleviate overcrowding in popular areas!!! However, with an election looming there's a good chance he won't be tourism minister for much longer so let';s hope the next incumbent is just as intelligent???? -

Thai Tea Named 7th Best Non-alcoholic Drink In The World by TasteAtlas

I took one mouthful of that horrible drink once, spat it out and have never touched it again. -
Travel insurance would pay if there was an issue with a balcony or building. The insurers would then file a claim against the building owners, who would hopefully have public liability insurance, though levels of cover in Thailand might be low. It's standard market practice and is known as subrogation. I would guess that a drugs/alcohol exclusion would be the most likely reason to deny liability but without knowing the facts I wouldn't want to speculate further., I would also add that if someone has an accident after just a couple of beers and it is demonstrated that alcohol consumption was not a contributing factor to the accident, insurers may not decline a claim under UK law. A travel insurance bought in the UK will be subject to UK laws.

Thailand expects a big jump in tourists from China

Looking forward to seeing how these things have improved. -
Party dissolution is nothing but a tool used by the military government in their bid to preserve power. It worked last time out. It's a ridiculous system as all the dissolved parties reform under a different name but it just takes time, which is perfect for those in power to nullify the opposition. Waiting to see how it plays out over the next few weeks.

Maybe you could ask her to teach you the basics of the use of the apostrophe ???? -

“Softening of demand after April” – Phuket hoteliers worry about bookings

Haven't I read this somewhere before? -
Is Thailand still in the 20th century when it comes to credit card use? (I've been back in the UK for a while, hence the non-rhetorical question). I haven't used a signature to pay by card in years and I have never shown a passport to use a card. Everywhere requires a PIN. Along with the previous comments regarding non-cancellation this does seem a bit odd for 2023.

Anyone know of a local company who might insure for theft of 1984 Jeep?
madmitch replied to rabiedabruce's topic in Phuket
Try another one then if you have had dealings with him before. I get on well with him but I am an insurance professional so talk roughly the same language! -

Speak to a broker. They should be able to give you a definitive answer and find cover if available. try Eric Dohlon at Bangkok Insurance Brokers (Google to find the phone number)
