  1. We just don't like to be far back in any ranking... but we'll never be able to catch up with the British, too many drink knuckleheads there...
  2. His name is Urs Peter Fehr, yes, he is Swiss, and he and his Elephant Sanctary have been featured positively in several Swiss newspapers and magazines well before these incidents
  3. I hope that his Visa will NOT be revoked - not because he is a fellow Swiss, BUT because Switzerland does not want him back...
  4. Bloody serious. I don't pay/donate for other peoples stupidity... oh wait... maybe the concrete barrier jumped in front of his motorbike... well then, let's donate... I give money for people I know when they need it, i.e. when they have cancer treatment that is not fully covered... but primarely, my extra money is to build up savings for the future, so I don't ever need a GoFundMe beggar page
  5. Health insurance is not equal travel/accident insurance... and the main question would remain, does he even have a motorbike licence But as far as foreign tourists go... it seems travel insurance is completely unnecessary, it is cheaper to later ask for donations on GoFundMe pages... nobody will ever get a cent from me for such an accident
  6. Ah, the famous balcony deaths are back with more tourists... More booze than they drink at home... lower balcony rails than they are used at home... whether suicide or accident, does it really matter, as long as they don't injure/kill somebody or cause damage by falling on a car? Dead is dead
  7. It will impact her credit rating, but a one-time slip in 10 years should not impact future loans / credits
  8. Yeah right... and we would like married people from the Schengen countries to have the same stay visas (2/5/unlimited) and no 90d Reports as Thais living in Europe and married to Europeans. Reciprocity the key word...
  9. Another one... motorbike crash... "no record of insurance for him" according to the family (BBC article)
  10. report it to the local police first, and if they do nothing, report it to the cyber crime investigation unit https://ccid4.ccib.go.th/
  11. It's NOT an improvement except for the (for now) smoother surface. But the ridiculous signage changing from 2 lanes to 1 are dangerous, specially for motorbikes
  12. My 16y old daughter caught dengue and her blood count was do bad, even a bruising could have let to significant internal bleeding. She was in the hospital for 6 days... after that, we did vaccinate her as soon as possible
  13. Since Cigna sold the Thail business to Chubb - which then cacelled all policies by expiration date - Cigna has become... (naming and shaming not allowed), so I recommend everybody who can to stear away from them. @tomgreen: Check reducing the coverage to Thailand / Asia only, that should reduce the premium. If you need to travel, get yourself a cheap travel insurance
  14. Elephant rides are animal cruelty, the spine is not made to carry that weight, elephants are schlepping animals, not carrying animals
