  1. What are the chances of them actually saying that at the opening of the upcoming APEC meeting?
  2. I have personal health insurance with Pacific Cross which has a 40k baht deductible. I top this up with a Chubb PA policy which includes, amongst other coverage, coverage for accidents up to 100,000 baht. I can confirm that my Chubb policy definitely covers me for broken bones having made two claims, once for a broken thumb and the 2nd time for a broken leg (both of them motorcycle accidents). The Chubb policy costs me just over 5k a year and includes my wife (presumably its calculated on age, I'm in my sixties). Bradiston being quoted 9k for similar coverage seems very excessive. "Plus, some insurers will look at what other policies you have. If you have motor vehicle insurance, a health insurer might say that that is the prime insurance provider if you suffer injuries as a result of an RTA. They might step in if the funds from that policy become exhausted but I'm not in any ways an expert. The whole things a minefield. " When the claim for hospital treatment for the broken leg was submitted to my insurer, nobody asked me if I had motor insurance coverage. I used a combination of the government insurance/Chubb insurance to cover the 40k deductible that I would have otherwise been responsible for, there was some initial confusion on the part of the hospital as to who was covering what but my insurance agent, who speaks reasonable english, dealt with any queries they had.
  3. I didn't find that to be my experience when we sought help for a troubled family member, they just handed out pills. The family member involved said he felt as though the doctor couldn't care less and that he was just taking up his time being there. On our third visit to the hospital, a lady sat down in the waiting area after seeing the same doctor and announced out loud how uncaring and dis-interested the doctor's manner was. Next thing, others around us began voicing the same opinions out loud.
  4. Seems that the "definitive" source isn't quite so sure now. On 11th of October they wrote that she and her husband arrived home after returning from Germany but in an article today they have written that she told police her husband arrived home after returning from Germany on Sunday night.
  5. Try lifting a sandbag that's saturated with water.
  6. Nope, North Wales. "Freezing" as in that was how I felt at the time.
  7. I went back to the UK for a month towards the end of May and for the first two weeks I was freezing and it seemed like I was peeing a couple of times an hour! As soon as the weather got warmer I was back to normal.
  8. I can't make any sense out of that statement. Surely if he couldn't brake in time he would of hit the vehicle that cut in front of him?
  9. TONY kart racing team profile says he was born in Spain.
  10. I wasn't so lucky. Went to Specsavers in the UK 3 months ago, thought I was going to get a free eye test as I'm over 60 but I was told I had to pay because I wasn't currently registered with a UK doctor. Overall, still pleased with their service, I got two pairs for less than the cost I had been paying for one pair here.
  11. "The newest of these is called “tomato flu,” and has affected over 100 children in India, according to a recent correspondence in The LancetTrusted Source." The population of India as of 2020 was 1.38 billion! "The authors report that tomato flu, likely a viral disease, was first identified in the Kollam district of Kerala, India on May 6, 2022." So in a period of 3 months plus, that works out at just over 1 a day. "According to The Lancet, the disease is considered non-life-threatening and resolves on its own in time." Thailand "does not regard the disease as a matter of domestic concern." What a complete non-story.
  12. Its where two or more roads meet and people hang around on the corner trying to trick you out of your money.
  13. That is absolutely staggering.
  14. Cash or Credit? - a common enough term. They certainly didn't use a credit facility.
  15. Except that's not what she asked for. "She then suggested that the company return her down payment and 16 instalments and she was prepared to buy a new one from them. " So she didn't asked for it to be repaired as new plus all her payments back did she?
  16. "witnesses had been interviewed and confirmed it was Chao. "
  17. Exactly my thoughts. The OP makes it look like each prospective candidate had their own, individual questions.
  18. And they didn't treat her either. "70-80% burns on her body on a gurney outside ER. Medics were frantically running about as 10 terribly burned other victims were waiting in line for treatment."
  19. home·stay a type of holiday or visit in which you stay in the home of a person you do not know: Must be a really big family home if it can accommodate a group of 30 plus another group of 20.
  20. Reportedly, there is a competition going on between journalists to see how many times they can get the word "reportedly" into one article.
