good job by Suphatchai Phanwilai, to be awake and alert at 430 am, otherwise, this could have been very different.

And what would you do if someone was waving a gun around in an aggressive manor

Rambo?

if i were an armed policeman, i would likely shoot him, Bambi.  

i suspect they will receive a lot of concrete therapy, before they are killed trying to escape. 

excepting koh tao, i guess

some of these cute little flower sellers do double duty as little oliver twists. 

so , it only took the cops 21 months to do something about it.

I doubt he'll read this thread, but hope the replacements work. He 's too young for us to lose him, but please Robbie, lose some weight.

 

BTW, thanks for Cracker. It was brilliant. I still think of that bit in the supermarket when I go through the 12 items checkout.

 

 

weight loss is essential before a knee replacement

    I had bad pains in my knee. I took some Ayurvedic (indian traditional) herbal pills just within 3 to 4 hours the pains were gone and never came back. (only took eight pills)

    I had taken it for shoulder pains and it worked like miracle. (took 6 pills )

No side effects because it's all herbs. The good thing is the pain didn't come back.

   

that's good for you, well done.   for me, who had bone on bone contact in both knees,  knee replacements were the only thing that worked for me.  once the cartilage is all destroyed and worn away, there aren't many options.

My computer is over 10 years old, when I bought it it had windows 7 installed, I asked if it was genuine and received the reply, "we don't do that sort of thing" as if it was reprehensible.

To get windows 10 I've been told it shouldn't be installed on my computer which is running on windows 7 I will have to buy a new computer.

i have upgraded 3 desktop computers from win 7 to win 10.  all three went flawlessly and painlessly. 

copy software used to be my second favorite reason to visit thailand.   it's no longer necessary, i get adobe cc , which suits all my photography needs, for 10 dollars a month.  and i have all the OS i need.  i remember one time in bkk, i was looking for a copy of photoshop, i forget which version.  i saw an "official" copy in a supposedly "official" store for , as i remember, about 600 dollars.  i found it at pantip for 150 baht. less than a mile from the official store. 

Soon, the Minister of Ridiculous Announcements will announce a plan to curtail the rise of value of the baht, in order to increase tourism arrivals.

I'll keep this relatively brief and suggest you go the dedicated expatriation to Latin America thread for much more detail.

 

 

You can shop for private insurance everywhere, subject to age and preexisting conditions restrictions meaning in many cases you can't buy it. So that's similar to Thailand. 

 

I was referring to buying in options for expats into public health care systems.

 

That is available in Colombia and Ecuador regardless of age and preexisting conditions. Colombia's system includes dental and meds as well. Cost is about 35 dollars a month for retired expats without local income. There is controversy about the pricing in Ecuador, for some it's only about 60 dollars and for others it's based on a percentage of even foreign sourced income. 

 

Mexico has this publc buy in option but rejections based on age and preexisting conditions.

 

I believe there are some other Latin American nations as well that offer expat buy in options, but I can't speak to all nations as I don't know everything or care to know everything.

 

Cheers

thanks for your response.

Latin America. Some countries there you can:

Easily afford to live at an upper middle class level

Easily qualify for retirement visas even leading to permanent residence

Even be able to buy into national health programs in some countries

I would strongly advise forgetting about Thailand at your financial level. You aren't even really welcome here at that level.

Yes you could do it if you can afford to lock up 800k baht or pay for an elite card but you would be building a life here on quicksand.
