The OP says she has NO relatives. Hence the problem.

Totally agree. Dividing the road like this is incredibly dangerous. If a motorbike, car, pedestrian or whatever comes out in front of you you've only two options, crash into them or swerve right into the insanely stupidly placed barrier to avoid a potentially fatal collision, and rip the underside of your vehicle off, as this lady discovered, and suffer a horrible accident yourself. I went shopping today on Thepprasit. No more right turn into Lotus, no right turn into Ratanakorn Market, almost all access to right turnsinto side roads and shops blocked, no right into the 2 gas stations from the opposite side etc etc etc. And looks like they're putting in traffic light on the junction with Soi 6 or 8, not sure which. Somebody from City hall apparently came down and checked it after numerous complaints, but all they've done is to open a few metre wide gaps. The SUVs can hardly get round in a single U turn. City hall claimed there were numerous accidents on Thepprasit prior to this but quoted no figures. It's just scandalous!

I think if his wife predeceases him, a usufruct or a lease would also terminate. I agree with the poster above. Find a trustworthy lawyer (needle/haystack possibly) and try to work out the scenario where she does predecease you. I'm not sure if her making some sort of provision in a will might be possible. Is there anybody in the village/a close friend you could trust to whom she could leave the land, on the proviso you were given a lifelong usufruct agreement registered at the land office. You could go on living there, and running the farm, within the limits of the labour laws, for the rest of your life. Or, maybe leave it in trust? As somebody above suggests, a court might award you 12 months in which to dispose of it. But after that....?

I can't remember exactly. I think maybe a couple of hundred baht per unit but I only have small ones for my house. Kitchen, wooden rooms etc. In the firestation there's an area with equipment outside and a door nearby. That's where I asked if they could do it. They were very friendly. I guess some pocket money for them, and they did a good job from what I could see.

I got mine refilled and serviced at the Pattaya firestation. It's a lot more economical if it's possible.

It's CNN. I don't know what the editors of AN had in mind by putting it up here. The whole article relies on a multitude of papers published in America, which nobody will read here. So really it just amounts to a troll. So I picked out the headline and worked on that. I never said I used all 3 here. I debunked all the, to me, totally irrelevant academia by suggesting that cannabis use has been around for a lot longer than these academics and the multitude of papers they've churned out. Makes a lot more sense to me than getting into an argument about it. Maybe the irony is, people smoke weed just to get away from the every day tedium of research, results, and statistics. I mean, you'd never order another pint of cold Guinness if you thought there might be a bed waiting for you in an ICU somewhere as a result, would you?

Seems the previous program was a complete disaster. 500,000 migrant workers still to be registered. What's the Thai government actually doing to run this program? It seems "administrative obstacles and financial constraints" have caused the backlog.

Yeah, since they outlawed ganja. In 1969 they were peaceful countries you were free to travel through. Now? Well, you're right.

Afraid I see TAT or cannabis in a headline and I go into debunk/spoof/irony mode. It's pointless arguing with the content. Weed has been around for millennia. Millions around the world have smoked it for millenia. In Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal and India in 1969 it was available anywhere. I bought an ounce of opium in the government shop in Kathmandu. It and hash were later criminalised. Decriminalisation is simply putting things back the way they used to be. There's nothing new in it. People who think it's the end of civilization should realize, drugs, psychotropic and all, have been around, and been part of, all civilizations from the outset. More like the start of civilization than the end. Nobody is forced to smoke weed. Yet! But I'm sure WEF have an agenda for that too ????????????!

Yes, and there's absolutely no doubt Gates and the WEF have a hand in it. But no, there's no evidence I know of that aspirin is addictive. It was only in there as a foil, but you picked up on it.

Ah, it's been edited out I suspect.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/aspirin-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20152665?p=1 I think it warrants a mention.

Substitute marijuana in the headline with any drug, alcohol, smack, aspirin, fentanyl, lysergic acid, largactyl, nembutal, mandies, uppers and downers. What do you get? Addiction, paralysis and death. ????????????. Trust me. I'm a doctor.

Perhaps, rather than assuming what he's supportive of, you could actually check it out. And his appointment overcame many weeks of deadlock and political jostling which was in danger of breaking up the whole coalition. They found someone they could all agree on, 8 parties and all. He has a lot of seniority in the political world, and respect. Ideal man for the job if you ask me. Now they just need to find 60 + extra votes for Pita.

Vexatious litigation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vexatious_litigation The baiters are snapping at his heels. And how does being an executor amount to ownership? How can it possibly? If his name is on the share certificates, how can it possibly form part of his father's estate? Nobody seems interested in the legal aspects of all this.

According to BP he has been caught. Wake up AN! PN!

Angry cat. Love it.

In no way to detract from this poor woman's plight, I met a woman in the Beer Hall off Sukhumvit, Nana area, years ago, and got chatting. She lost a leg in an equally terrifying way at Hualamphong, running for a train in high heels. I'll spare you the details, but believe me, they were horrific. She seemed to have recovered from the dreadful trauma extremely well, and was able to lead what appeared to be something of a normal life, out with friends and doing whatever people do in such an establishment. Well, apart from drinking beer that is. Her story haunted me and still does. She was able to recount every detail of the accident, but had the amazing strength not to let it destroy her life. Kudos!

I had an almost identical accident. My total costs for all the same things you mentioned were in the same ballpark, about 12k THB. I cracked a rib and had 3 stitches over my eye. I looked like Rocky, final round. No problem there with pay as you go. But to cover big RTA, or major surgery/care for whatever reason, I'm ok with paying 10k pm. It's called Peace of Mind.

I double checked by ringing them and emailing them so I got it in writing. I outlined a scenario where I had a cardiac arrest or some other major coronary event. Would I be covered in the light of my Afib. They confirmed I would be covered.

Yes, but PAI covers next to nothing in medical expenses. 200k, maybe 300k, at most. Not much use in a serious RTA, for instance. I'm 73. I only started medical insurance a year ago. I have Afib. I pay 10,401 THB pm. My heart is now covered after a 6 month moratorium ended. I thought about lowering the cover, $400,000, to $200,000, and upping the deductible to $5,000, in order to lower the premium, in theory, to about 6750 THB pm. But I'd have to reapply, and all the premiums have gone up, so it isn't worth the hassle. I haven't made a successful claim, so my premiums are locked in, so I'll continue them at 10,401 pm, a lot less than the current prices I think. It's ironic I suffered my worst fear, a fall, a claim for which was refused, as it only involved OP, and cataract surgery the same. So I had a month or so grinding my teeth, thinking what the heck am I paying for, and then thought, well, is any really useful education free? The fall only cost in all about 10k THB in hospital visits, CT scan, X ray etc. And I can live perfectly well with the incipient cataracts. $400,000 would go some way, maybe all the way, to meeting costs for chronic/catastrophic illness/injury, which is the main concern. For just over 10k pm, can I complain? No, I don't think so. PS My insurers are WRLife.

One wonders if amongst the 9.3m are deceased/departed overstayers as previously reported. Maybe duplicate records too, and/or incomplete, corrupted, long out of date etc etc. Next news item... "Police accidentally wipe all records of all convicted felons over the last 50 years".

Any problems with a Bolt ride and Bolt deny any accountability. They recently updated their Ts & C's, which they sent me a copy of. I'd made a complaint about being charged double for a return trip, same-day, Pratamnak Soi 4 to Bangkok Pattaya hospital.

I recently bought an AIS SIM, 12 month, 15Mbps, 100 GB pm, 1790 THB including SIM at the AIS shop in Central. Don't forget your passport or other ID.
