Judging from your posts, you appear to be extremely anxious about your own insurance. So insecure you have to attack everyone who insurers with WRLife. Why? Worried about your own position? Keep your advice. In fact, you know what you can do with it.

I don't actually believe any insurer would advise in such a way. And "WR" don't as far as I know, do any direct selling. Who did you talk to there? And I don't know anything about them "targeting old and tight budget". Where do you get this stuff?

Ok, but my experience is, I've made one claim, amounting to about 100k THB, in 18 months, for a bacterial skin infection. My first and only hospitalisation in 74 years. I used to insure against PA, but the cover was so small, it would hardly cover one night in a private hospital. I'm ok with my current premium of 10,400 THB pm inpatient with WRLife. People may choose to argue about it, but for me, it's a good fit. Broken hip, stroke, bike accident... I'm covered. I've yet to read an instance where WRLife refused or failed to pay for illegitimate reasons. And I don't give a lot of credence to review sites. I found out about them from an acquaintance who had a whole variety of disorders. All of them were covered by WRLife. If you like Bitcoin, I'm not going to waste your time telling you it's a Ponzi scheme, because a. I'm not in a position to judge, and b. Do I care? No!

Yes but over a much shorter term for a 70 year old than say a 30 year old. And I'd like to see figures bearing out your assertion. The distressed Gofundme calls are mostly from the under 50s. Or so it seems. Especially for the young kids that come out here and smash themselves up on bikes. Who is really a greater risk? A 70 year old strolling along to the bar for a swift half with his mates, or the 25 year old nut behind the wheel? It's quite possible older policyholders are subsidising the young? Where are the figures?

I don't get why you're banging on about it, if you're not insured with them. You can go your own way. I suppose I could start screaming about what a rip off your insurer is. No, I don't know who they are, but who cares? You make grossly inaccurate insulting assumptions about my life and my situation, so why shouldn't I about yours? Huh? Go fund yourself.

Hamas is a political party. You can't commit genocide on them. But you can on the Palestinians. Your hate filled speech is part of the problem, not the solution. Netanyahu sees the total obliteration of Hamas as the solution. But he knows that is probably unachievable. So he gives himself licence to kill as many Palestinians as possible in his futile attempt. With people like you cheering him on, he'll no doubt continue until he runs out of ammunition, which America will guarantee won't happen. Will you be cheering then, with 30, 40, 50 thousand dead civilians? Even Putin would back off.

Yes, they're truly unique. Follow the crowd. See where it gets you. Nobody's forcing you to sign up. Why does it anger you? We're all adults. We can all decide what's best for ourselves. Everybody's situation is different. Horses for courses, drinking or not. There are many ways to lose money in this life. This seems to me a reasonable bet, which don't always pay, agreed. Yeah, it's a gamble. But for me it's within acceptable limits.

No, it doesn't. If I weigh it all up, I have maybe a 10 years' cover requirement left. If I was 50, I'd more than likely be looking elsewhere. I'm suggesting there's a shrinking probability of a claim the older you get. Seems counter intuitive I know. But when the countdown starts, are you really going to pour money into a safe launch? Bit late for that! What insurer do you use? Are you 100% ok with all of the above? Which country would you have to litigate in? What are the chances you would ever have to litigate? Somebody who works in insurance, and in particular, statistical analysis, could maybe answer that. The best laid plans of mice and men gang oft agley...

Agree. I've been with them for about 18 months. Needed treatment for cellulitis, 3 nights in Bangkok Pattaya hospital and follow ups covered, no problem, roughly 100k THB. They put a 12 month moratorium on my afib, about which I have no complaints. People here on expensive plans with other insurers, gripe about them constantly. For the over 70s with existing conditions, there's not a lot of choice if you're watching pennies. They fill that gap. I don't know what more people want. Show me a low cost insurer who comes anywhere near them. Yes, it may be "so far, so good", but same in all walks of life, right? There's hype everywhere. You pays yer money....

Yeah, a lot of hot air I'll wager. How many Filipinas can't even leave the Philippines, due to their own immigration at Manila airport, and how many that do manage to board a plane to Thailand end up being put back on it, or threatened with it, when they arrive? Yet they're a valuable resource. Millions of filipinas work abroad. They get work in eg the service sector as telephonists, care sector and hospitality sector as their English language proficiency is high. In Philippines, "seniors" as pensioners are called, have special lanes everywhere for queuing. I've a mate who has a Filipina gf. It's a total nightmare every time she returns from family visits back home. Will anything change? I doubt it. The only ASEAN country Thailand considers worthy of comparison is Singapore. What a joke!

I think the reference was to Thai exports.

Years ago I bought land in neighbouring Negros on the promise that the airport at Silay was due to be upgraded to international. But the money went instead to Iloilo who did the same for their airport. They simply rebanked it - about 20 billion PHP. I believe the mayor then was the son of the Senator for Ilo, or so I was told. Negros has no Senator and still has no international airport. Nobody said a word. Who wants to die in a remote sugar plantation with a bullet in the back of your head? Corruption out there is in plain sight, on a massive scale. It's just part of life. Marcos, Duterte, The Catholic Church. You're on a hiding to nothing.

The one I went to was off Walking Street, not sure of the Soi name. Had several open fronted bars on it, and a variety of other bars. And a big hotel. Tried the others you mention but no real comparison. Windmill was almost anything goes kind of joint. Only once barfined, but it was a huge disappointment. Bar girls out of the bar like fish out of water. Wham bam and they're gone.

Watched both games this morning. I'm a Chiefs and Mahomes fan. On TV here on 12th, about 0630 Monday morning. I get it on my IPTV box. Must have a mute button for the ads. I watch baseball as well. I like that there doesn't appear to be a shred of racism in American sport - how could there be? You wouldn't have any basketball, baseball or NFL teams, without black players. And the fans don't seem to wage war on the opposition. Altogether more sporting. Probably no fun at all for English football fans. And I'm getting old, I guess. C'mon you blues! Chelsea!

Yeah, last time I went there, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, a very unpleasant English manager was overseeing things. No more 100 THB tipping. Buy lady a drink or sit on my own nursing my sodaaaah. Before all that, the best bar in town. Not been back.

BREAKING: Man slips on banana skin. Gold necklace vanishes. Lady boy held. Foreigner falls over. Students fight it out on Beach Rd. 11 hurt. Any other news?

Update. The auto gates were for Thais only but no takers.

"We're queueing for the escalator to go down, only one working". "Security done. Big queue for passport control". 1130 Sunday 28th January. No automatic gates. Complete chaos according to my source.

NNT are incapable of writing critical copy. This article, like the one on the PM, lacks any core. For instance, Anutin completely ignores the recent, but habitual, tribal gang wars in, for instance, the technical colleges, which have resulted in death. He pretty much says it's nothing to do with the schools' management and can be dealt with by reports from concerned citizens to the with police. And the Ministry of the Interior. This bankrupt, in more ways than one, government can't even afford any kind of security on school premises. It's up to parents, apparently. Why is this man in politics? Because Bumjaithai rule Buriram! Just another clan.

Yes, always near empty the times I've been. 1050 a month.

The owner is called "Pa". She is a woman. Moved from Sattahip recently. Where's the African connection? Oh and of course it's your business to know what she and the other owner, a Thai woman, is doing here. Two Thais, a Sri Lankan and a Ukrainian are being charged with moving the other lion without a permit. I'm not picking up your crap either. Maybe you think Sri Lanka is in Africa?

Flak jackets, guns, gloves. It must have been some mushroom. And weighing in at 1.1g. Thank heavens the cops are out there protecting us innocent citizens.

The driver lied about being Ann's father, so what was he doing there? And what was Sergeant Pae doing there? Neither of these 2 people had any reason to be there at all unless the mother's story, that they disapproved of the relationship, holds true. In which case, what the heck did it have to do with them? Seems they weren't related to Ann in any way. So yes, gay man murders his lover out of jealousy. Life without parole. Next.

You mean it was the copper wot dunnit?

But if today had been tomorrow, you'd be sitting in the car behind the Senior Sergeant Major and none of this would have happened. If! I think this is a gay love triangle. Sarge was in love with the guy with the knife, and Ann was a transvestite caught in the middle (if you'll forgive the pun). Sarge, in a fit of jealous rage, wasted his lover, then err, sorry I seem to have lost the plot. Can anyone take over?
