This Black Friday, take advantage of 10% off on a health insurance plan that ensures access to high-quality healthcare wherever you are in Thailand. Why Health Insurance is Key for Expats in Thailand Thailand’s healthcare system includes some of the best hospitals in Southeast Asia, like Bangkok Hospital and Bumrungrad International Hospital. However, without insurance, the costs can add up quickly. The right health insurance covers regular check-ups, emergency treatments, specialist visits, and long-term medications, allowing you to manage healthcare needs without dipping into your savings. Access to Thailand’s Leading Hospitals and Routine Care Health insurance makes Thailand’s top hospitals accessible, providing essential benefits like private rooms, advanced treatments, and English-speaking doctors. Routine check-ups are also key, particularly in a tropical climate where staying proactive about health is crucial. Health plans often cover annual exams, vaccinations, and preventative screenings, helping catch health issues early. With Cigna, your health is prioritized without the burden of out-of-pocket expenses: Exclusive offer: 10% off for life!

Comprehensive insurance provides coverage for treatments specific to these risks, ensuring you’re prepared for any medical issues that may arise. Managing Unexpected Healthcare Costs Even if you’re healthy, healthcare expenses can add up from minor accidents or sudden illnesses. Without insurance, routine treatments can cost 2,000-5,000 THB ($57-$140) per visit, while emergency procedures can reach tens of thousands. Insurance covers these unexpected costs, giving you financial stability and peace of mind. Coverage for routine health check-ups In Thailand, routine health check-ups are essential for staying well in a tropical environment.

Halloween is fast approaching, which means elaborate outfits, pumpkin carving and an awful lot of trick-or-treat goodies. But if your idea of a good evening is less apple bobbing and more sofa lounging, there is an easy way to embrace the spooky season without needing to leave the house: a good old horror film. Whether you're after a gory slasher for a sleepover spookfest or a psychological thriller to scare yourself senseless, here are 13 of the best Halloween movies to snuggle up in front of this October. Halloween (1978) Starting off with an obvious pick, ‘70s slasher Halloween follows mental patient Michael Myers (Donald Pleasence) who murdered his teenage sister one Halloween night. Fifteen years later, he escapes and returns to his hometown, where he stalks teenage Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her friends. Stream on Prime Video It Follows (2014) It Follows is a supernatural horror thriller centered on Jay (Maika Monrow), a teenager who becomes cursed after a sexual encounter. The curse manifests as a mysterious entity that relentlessly follows its target at a slow pace. Only the cursed can see it, and if it catches them, they die. Jay has two options: pass the curse to someone else through another sexual encounter or be doomed to run from the entity forever. Stream on Apple TV Psycho (1960) One of Alfred Hitchcock’s most iconic film’s, Psycho follows Marion Crane, a woman who steals a large sum of money from her boss and seeks refuge at the remote Bates Motel, run by the mysterious Norman Bates.

As the teens try to stay awake to avoid Freddy, they start to uncover the dark history behind why he’s haunting them. Stream on Apple TV Hocus Pocus (1993) A good spooky film that won’t keep you up at night, this family friend comedy is about three 17th-century witches, the Sanderson sisters, who are accidentally resurrected in modern-day Salem by teenager Max.

Rachel Reeves will unveil a £35 billion tax bomb today, in what critics dubbed ‘the biggest heist in modern political history.’ In one of the most consequential Budgets for years, the Chancellor will set Britain on a course of high tax, high spending and high borrowing in a gamble designed to kickstart growth. In remarks released last night, Ms Reeves said: ‘The only way to drive economic growth is to invest, invest, invest. ‘There are no shortcuts. To deliver that investment we must restore economic stability.’ Ms Reeves, who will become the first woman in history to deliver a Budget, will confirm a loosening of the government’s fiscal rules which will enable her to borrow up to £50 billion to spend on infrastructure projects and growth sectors like green energy. Tory leadership contender Robert Jenrick said: ‘This Budget completes the biggest heist in modern political history. The Labour Party won power by lying to the British public about their plan to hike taxes. ‘Working people are going to suffer and our economic recovery will take a huge hit. No wonder the public don’t trust politicians.’ Rishi Sunak, who will respond to the Budget on Wednesday in one of his last acts as Tory leader, said the expected rise in NI would be a clear breach of Labour’s manifesto, which pledged not to increase income tax, national Insurance or VAT.

FBS, a leading global broker, continues to make a positive impact through its charitable work and humanitarian efforts. In response to the devastating flooding in Thailand, the company has mobilised its resources and partnered with local volunteers to deliver essential aid to the hardest-hit areas. FBS has always led the way in the global community through its charitable work and humanitarian initiatives. This includes the company’s latest efforts with local volunteers in Thailand following the worst reported flooding in 50 years. In the aftermath of this catastrophe, FBS has teamed up with its partners in Thailand to provide flood relief for the hardest-hit communities in the provinces of Chiang Mai, Lamphun, and Lampang. October has historically been a problematic time in Thailand, given the increasing intensity of the monsoons and their respective impacts on local communities. Over the past two weeks, FBS has been tirelessly delivering essential aid packages to flood victims across the region. Thanks to its ongoing efforts, over 430 households were directly supplied with critical support, including clean drinking water, essential medicines, dry food, and other necessities. Working with local volunteers and coordinating with village headmen, FBS also spearheaded efforts to provide humanitarian aid to several remote areas, many of which have been cut off entirely in recent weeks. These affected communities have given their heartfelt appreciation to FBS and volunteers for their steadfast support and determination during these difficult times. The company has also mobilised its efforts to continue providing essential assistance to the damaged communities with the winter months approaching. Many more families are still stranded by flooding and cannot yet leave their homes due to high water levels. Starting this November, FBS will be providing warm clothing, blankets, and other essential household items to help families begin to recover. Stay tuned for more updates and ongoing relief efforts from FBS in the wake of this tragedy. For more information about FBS and its CSR initiatives, please visit www.fbs.com. Press release
