  1. Yeah, I hear you, Sheryl, and thanks. I am planning on seeing a couple of clinics and finding out if they can cover the basics of Diabetes and Cholesterol care. If ot then I will start the fight with the Cdn government. What P! ss me off is that we had this coverage looked after with one provider with no issues, then the government changed providers and went to a Canadian provider who promptly farmed out the out-of-country to a French-based provider. Either way, it is not a huge issue, but definitely going to need to be looked at for larger issues.
  2. Sheryl, I have been here 15 years and have used Patrangsit, where I am happy. Up until last year, when they changed from one provider to another, there was no issue. I understand that I am not going to get the same treatment. There is no way that a clinic can provide the same. What I am looking for is to meet the requirements that the CDN provider wants or to be able to comment that I cannot get the treatment.
  3. Trust me, the rules they are using are their rules. I am not the only one with the issue; in fact, there is a Facebook page of people around the world dealing with this. I amnot sure I will stay with the clinic, but as I said, I want to press the button and see what happens MSH and CL are trying to screw a lot of people. I want to document everything so that I can then take it to the onbudsman and get clarification.
  4. Fully agree even though it is part of my health care. People have been told that they will cover clinics so I am going to put them to the test and see what happens. If still refuse then I will take them to the CDN government ombudsman along with a lot of ex-military living here in country. Can you recommend any I noticed that there is a clinic at TRENDY and also saw one with Dr Donna? I was told, though, by a mutual acquaintance that Dr Donna is not a Doctor.
  5. It is surprising how low and unfeeling he is. Does he really think that just saying I am sorry is going to solve the problem. I am sorry, but the sooner they remove PM Thaksin from this country, the better. He must go back to jail or be legally barred from any financial involvement with the political scene. He is the problem with the system along with the Elites.
  6. That was the way it was before the CDN government changed providers. Now we have MSH and they have refused reimbursement for any outpatient treatment. It sucks for sure and will be interesting, but for now, if I want reimbursement, then I need to find a clinic that will provide most of what a normal doctor provides.

    Shopping is very much a sport. The Sport in question is BIRD watching https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQnDMB1AP_YKCBGArKh3o_pna9Xbbznd4-1sQ&s
  8. Hi, MSH my med provider willnot pay for claims through the hospital as it says it is outpatient and they do not cover it. Therefore I am looking for a clinic in the Bangkok Pathum Thani area closest to the treatment I would get in a hospital. the main concern is diabetes, cholesterol, and such. But then again I will need blood tests and other check ups as I am getting younger and body is ot a perfect as it was lOL
  9. The question, though, is if she had a legal marriage that had all the notary and stuff from the amphoe, would she not have a tighter claim? Also if the other woman is a wife she could charge bigamy. I think the question comes down to what was the marriage was it registered, and why was she so stupid to marry a guy tht was never here and never around for two years before trying to do anything?
  10. where can you access funds from Crypto without using a bank.
  11. Best Pie is Thai Pie Have yet to eat a bad one. Sorry sure op will not allow pics
  12. Thais I thought we were talking about tourists
  13. Not sure if it is posted anywhere else I just got a notice tht BB is sending out emails about FATCA and the same forms tht Kasikorn did. Guess it is correct we can expect everyone to get them if you have an account
  14. Yes but unless you register it and do all the paperwork, it is not a legal marriage in the eyes of the law. No one checks to make sure you are not married legally.
  15. It is not just the motorcycles . Try buying a bottle of good French wine, Rhine wine, or wine from Oz. The markup is huge. As to tourism the only thing that TRUMP may affect is the number of Americans that stay home and really it is not that huge. The number of people coming from European and North American countries is lower. The days of hundreds of huge Farang with wallets, guts, and desire for young lasses on warm beaches during the winter are lowering. Justr like Vegas went from being Sin City to now having a family atmosphere the same can be said for Thailand Yes, we still have the young guys that come for the honey.
  16. Silly me. I thought that the fact that the people were borrowing and unable to pay was the reason , Now you are going to make it easier and induce banks to lend more money. LOL
  17. I actually l,ooked at it the other way to a lot of Thais the Bhuddist marriage is all they need. registering it is just an add on
  18. The bannk a good thing Showing up and getting a scooter with no DL or any idea how to drive NOt so good
  19. If it was just the monk ceremony with nothing registered they were not even married. Considering that so many girls do the same to men it is interesting. Just remember the old saying
  20. Funny I didn't say that the Thai government did not accept, and this thread is not about the Thai gov't However, yes with the letter from the CDN Embassy they were more than happy to accept the Bank statements. If we could show them online our accounts it would be a huge benefit LOL
  21. BJT controls the Senate which does not work well for the PTP
  22. Just what we need get stuck on a train with a bunch of drunk backpackers
  23. I do this to keep everything stretched and ready for fun LOL https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTIdpbEHIdTKZmKdalWyNlHMJJ3j7kWSi9n3A&s
  24. The thing is that the embassy used to ask for proof of funds so I am not sure where they get that they can not verify. I used to have to print out my monthly bank statements and attach them to get the letter. I agree just taking a person's word these days is downright STUPID
  25. But where would he live, who is going to look after him? If he needs care, then the best place for him is in a home or facility that can do so. He would have better luck getting that here than he would in the UK after taking a flight and landing at Heathrow with little money and no one to look after him.
