Laundominiums

I think for Brits, we're used to free hospitals and forget it doesn't work like that abroad. Very few insure themselves in the UK, I don't suppose.

It's a wonderful country. My daughter taught English there for a year. She took me on a round trip around the whole island. Spotless! The trains, buses, pavements, roads. Everything runs on time. Incredible food. Lovely people. And the Pacific ocean, not some cess pool. Cliffs, chasms, parks. And 30 day visa free stay.

Sources?

I think there might be a difference between applying in advance at an embassy in a foreign country, and applying yourself, or getting an agent, for instance, to sort it all out when you are in Thailand. I don't believe there is any insurance requirement when applying in Thailand for a non immigrant O category visa, and no requirement when applying for a 12 month extension of stay based on retirement. However, there are in theory financial requirements. Eg 800k in the bank. Perhaps that is part of the reason.

It's probably haemorrhagic. Multiple organ failure. Coma. Death.

For what?

It should be a criminal offense to come out with figures like this. Overseen by the Court of Prevention of Complete and Utter BS in Public Life.

What's this got to do with the Anti Trafficking in Persons Division?

What you quote is almost exactly what I pay per month here in Thailand for in patient cover. But I'm 73 with a heart condition. Maybe people should look at getting properly covered at home, by a policy which includes at least some travel. Might work out about the same, or even cheaper.

I had a beautiful friend die of it in a private hospital. Comatose, multiple organ failure, on life support. Family had to decide whether to turn it off.

The haemorrhagic version can be fatal.

I think this version, where she wakes him up and leaves, was in an early edition of the paper. That's my story,and I'm sticking to it.

Whereas they just provided you with an entire empire.

From The Thaiger article: "Thalerngsak contacted the Thai embassy for advice. The embassy spoke to the supposed police officers and informed Thalerngsak that they were not actual officers. However, fearing for the safety of his mother and aunt, he negotiated and gave them 60 euros, which he claimed was all the money he had left." This doesn't add up at all.

Oh, I thought that was a foot massage!

From The Thaiger, the second of the linked sources. "Upon searching the house, only toy guns and plastic bullets were discovered, with no real firearms present. Despite the imitation nature of the guns, the army doctor is still liable to be charged under Section 392 of the Criminal Law for causing fear and alarm to others. The potential penalty involves imprisonment for up to one month, a fine of up to 10,000 baht, or a combination of both." 10,000 fine? A month in jail? Or both? I'll have to hurry you... Hmm, a month in jail sounds quite pleasant. And the fine's not to be sneezed at. I'll take them both! Doh!

According to the United Thai Masseuses and Allied Trades Union codes of practice, 1993 and revisions, the clock starts at the masseuse's discretion if and when she fancies the job. Foreigners pay a surcharge cos they're mostly big buggers.

Now he tells me! 🤣 Well sure, but anything on the clock is a bit fuzzy in my experience. I know my masseuses. It really doesn't worry me if they time it from toe tweak to neck snap, or whatever. If it's a good massage, 50 or 60 minutes... Does it matter that much?

So you hire a girl on Thai friendly. You going to bonk for an hour and then she's out the door? When does the clock start? Is undressing included or not? Shower before and after? She's on the metre, same as a massage. Included in the one hour is essentials for hygiene etc. That's my take. Can't see how you can benefit from a clock watching exercise. It's supposed to relax you.

I think 5 minutes either side of start and finish is allowable. She has to set up, and clean up after. So 50 minutes would seem fair to me.

I looked that up. It says the quality of rocket fuel shall not fall below the standard set in CRB 73522893/980.

Only toy guns found in house, yet the report was he fired 3 shots into the ground.

Unfortunately this would take out the whole top floor!
