The pharmacist will see you now: Has Thailand found cure for hospital overcrowding?
Are they addressing the wrong problem to overcrowding? Go at 7 am wait see Doctor at 13:30 = 6.5 hours, waited until 3:00 for medicine = 1 hour. Just last week wasn't there a story Doctors were overworked leaving. ????

British student’s harrowing balcony plunge leaves him fighting for life in a Thailand hospital
Appreciate the advice but I can take care of myself I'm sure I'm on many ignore list but it isnt my lost. We don't always have to agree but if one wants to dish it out should be able to take it in return which is lacking with many here. Many might not agree with you I've had a few but what you have is integrity to say what you believe right or wrong disk it out and take it in return. That comes from your orgin LOL

You drawn your own line, look I'm no rocket sciencetist like many of you. I barely got through school only went to keep me from going to Vietnam. When you speak of health insurance I've had have accident insurance, vehicle insurance, it doesn't have to be spelled out, as I tell my son you are insured but if you cause can accident because you were driving drunk not covered. If you got into a fight or got hurt in the mist of a crime. Not covered. If you have accident travel insurance possess a motorcycle license home but neglected to get an International permit wasn't wearing a helmet or drinking was involved in an accident blood test showed you were over the limit even by a lite police reported no helmet you just gave the insurance an out. I merely hinted sure lot of deny claims out of Brit companies just curious sure they have reason or policy holders gave them one as noted. I've read a lot of contracts I'm no lawyer but been around lots of them family and friends it works both ways you throw out a no let the other party prove you wrong.Lawyers are trained to make something out of nothing. Yes as noted hard to follow more reason if a particularly country has a track record if I was selling a policy I would would highlight certain things personally as I noted Insurance or no I would want to even give you the bad news. Last note, I have accident insurance here there is a clause " extreme sports " if that sport was hang gliding? Sky diving, racing buffaloes, not clear but you know the answer the insurance also. With nothing to hide I told them I cycle and still play Basketball at 70, they had to call the office.

British student’s harrowing balcony plunge leaves him fighting for life in a Thailand hospital
So many of these stories, makes one think especially me at this point how the hell did I ever get to this age and still be alive. My first class reunion I remember so many came up to me first word " surprise to see you here " I ask why? The way you were in High School I think you were voted most likely to die early LOL. First, when it comes to balconies maybe the standard height needs to be reviewed by the building departments are the standards based on Thai average height. A country such as Thailand where tourist come for one main reason and that is to drink and party. Maybe a 8-10 feet 1 inch thick plex glass be in place? Then you got so many insurance refusing to pay some government oversight agency should be looking at some of these claims. But generalizing kids being at that age not drinking, I'm sure even in Thailand once admitted they are going to do a blood test so was his level over the limit this limit would be most likely the same as if driving a vehicle. Nevertheless, maybe these insurance companies when advertising or selling policies online or in person forced to provide warnings to the consumers instead of relying on the potential customer to read the documents. Good luck to the young man!

Electric baht busses for Pattaya......Good idea or Bad idea.....
I believe the system wasn't for local tourist but for the schools. Those buses were parked weekends to on 3td Road past the driving range. The problem there was no plan what so ever which seems to be the case now. Only to make a large purchase skim off the top the reason none of these leaders are worth a baht that includes the new mayor. No one had a clue where it was traveling nor it's schedule. I serious doubt anY leader in Pattaya has any idea or experience In Mass transit.

Electric baht busses for Pattaya......Good idea or Bad idea.....
Another bone head idea, what for maybe think about a master plan for developing a transportation system through Pattaya and entire area including the East linked together as one first. There is already no place for them to park etc. Those who continue with these ideas to enrich themselves need to be put down.

In Total, 64 Deaths in 4 Months From Phuket Road Accidents
Nothing will ever change as long as this system is in place! To start consider it as an epidemic declare martial law for this problem put an foreign entity in charge with unlimited power to remove anyone who tries to circumvent the system to enforce. Without that type of beginning daily reports like this will continue.

Pattaya robbery: Mother and son targeted, stolen valuables worth 100,000 baht
It is lots of money for a Thai but I see no reason she making it up by reporting it if it was a hotel yes? I know a few Thais that don't really trust banks I wouldn't be surprise? I look at the photo been around these type of gates where she points is the weak spot nice big square opening as noted even here if they want to they going to get in. I take a good guess whoever broke had connection to someone she knows you don't just break in unless you know even here.

Anyone tried Mexican Tacos ?
I love Tacos hard shell in particular but why do they cost so much even in Thailand, I can easily eat 6 in one sitting. The cost here is about the same back home.

Problem with increasingly aggressive & violent wife
Then you should have just said that the first time. Let me clarify something in regards to the use of the word International and to be clear a generalization from my own experience being here close to twenty years. When it comes to lawyers in Thailand I been around lots of them and I wish there wasn't ever a need. In the beginning my luck maybe curse I had a bunch of problems Thailand not being my country like everyone I didn't come looking for trouble but never the less I ran into it. I try my best to go with the system got recommended a pretty big Thai law firm no problem communicating but the case took a bit too long for my taste in the end through my own contact found out the lawyer had play both side although in the end the case was taken over with a new International firm with some top Thai Lawyers the case was won. As for the old lawyer it didn't go well for him. I once even got a list of Lawyers from my Embassy I went down the list and interview each one in the end next time I went back to the Embassy for business I let one of the top representative I spoke to better burn that damn list there wasn't one Thai lawyer on the list worth talking too. Years now through family in HK, connections in Thailand I use a particular firm it is International with plenty of Thai lawyers who I can communicate and very satisfied so not all related International is bad. Although I haven't met a Thai Lawyer worth the time of day not working for a International firm I'm still open to always listening and giving them a chance as you noted results is what matter whether they hang a International label on their door I agree track record and results is what matters especially in this case.

Problem with increasingly aggressive & violent wife
Of course that is a generalization from your own experience. Most lawyers are as you say especially big egos readon we joke the only good lawyer is a dead one. But in the end you pay their bill you make the decision obviously when it came to investment you made the wrong choice so blame yourself and not all. On this guy topic he isn't investing I say international first and foremost to the English is good enough so it can be explain to him what he should do and expect. If money is the object only and he wants to go cheap get a Thai lawyer who can't communicate what is happening just want the money where does that leave him yes in the dark wondering! This isn't investing or big ego it is dealing with a child life that itself you should remove yourself from the topic since you more concern about your own bad experience.

Because of the kid I would do everything in my power to be polite meantime go see a lawyer don't get cheap being in BKK get yourself a International lawyer, you need recommendation give me a PM, meantime while she working if not already get all his documents birth, passport, etc. Get ready to leave when the time comes.

Passenger sustains serious injury on escalator at Don Mueang airport
You try to come across as a smart guy but I can see the light I'd on but no one is home! First when I generalize mean I come to an opinion based on the past. I've made no mentioned to any of it being fact. The few incidents I've cited are fact since you like to look things up you should know how. You ask for facts, yet hypocritically you haven't provided any yourself as to a statement made from something you might have read. Please show me other than a so call promise more medical information as to the cost they are paying to the hospital. In her rehabilitation do they plan to fit her with a wooden leg, does it include life time medical assistance including Physiological therapies and as for compensation do you have a amount for pain and suffering. Aside from a promise you already seem to believe or know for a fact what you rant about is a fact she will be taken care. That leads back to my question and generalization here in Thailand what and how not satisfied a unknown promise. Unless you have the compensation package offered as fact and evidence I don't need to tell you where to go from here. SMF.

Passenger sustains serious injury on escalator at Don Mueang airport
Come on Barry is this response for today or something from the past I said to you! Bit surprise to even hear from you thought you were the hide and seek type and this is me being very kind! My response of course was a generalization which is exactly your response to me.! You ask me to read what before I response. If I got a baht each time hearing take care of her medical bills and compensation I would be rich. I Suggest you instead of reading something assuming it is going to be generous in nature is a man still asleep having a wet dream calling other opinion as a rant. Because this hit the front page suckers like you dreamers actually think this is going to be sufficient for the lost of her limb and the drama it had caused her. There are hundreds of events like this that don't see the light of day. Citizen falling into manholes, Doctor getting run down by speeders, there isn't enough text to list them all but we got a true believer in you. The saying they also selling a bridge cheap! All the victims family are still waiting compensation for their lost in Sattahip night club fire all they were offered was 50,000 baht what is a limb worth. How is that rant! Bangkok true believer.

The question is what are the authorities going to do? Turn a blind eye and act as its not their responsibility, make a half ass attempt offer a few hundred baht and call it a day still promote Thailand as top destination, land of smiles or is it continues come at your whole risk.

Baht falls to 7-month low as unease grows over chances of Pita Limjaroenrat being elected as PM
Look Mr. Late? I clearly responded without looking at the chart which by the way was not presented when I did. When it was pointed out I went back to my records of transfers then responded back to poster Thanks and listed some dates which is clearly something you don't know how to do instead of making excuse about your phone. Guess having a smart phone still doesn't help much for some people. Factual is when someone presents those facts it was pointed out not as fact but an opinion which being second guessed I look up and confirmed his opinion as being correct and factual. Your dribble coming in at the end not once but twice confirms what people around you already know.

Don Mueang Airport ranks among the most dangerous airports in the world
What ever reason hope I never find out! Not surprising this airport shouldn't even be opened. It was close cause leaders here are such screw-up can't plan for anything including building proper size toilets at the newer one. There is so much land at the newer one yet there was no real plan.
