OK...so, to divert from the pissing contest: For all that don't actually know the end details of the current healthcare system in the states, this is how it breaks down (IME) My mom has healthcare insurance from medicare A&B as well as her private Non-Obamacare healthcare insurance. She pays around $500 USD per month for all. I moved back here 2 yrs ago to take care of her. My only income upon arrival was my SS so I contacted the healthcare.gov site and was immediately bombarded with insurance companies all vying to "Give" me healthcare insurance, for free. 🤔 Here's a bill: This was followed by this eye opening letter a few months later: You can see by the bill that the insurance companies are collecting nearly $2000 "bounty" on every swinging dick they can sign-up, the younger the better but they take all comers w/o an exam, with preexisting conditions, nothing matters as long as they can classify you as "poor" and sign you up. The part of the letter I found most interesting is the "tax" threat and the follow-up phone call explaning the provided coverage wasn't any better than Medicare Part A anyway. (you automatically get that free when you turn 65 for those unfamiliar with the real peculiarities of being an American. (meaning born here,not just watched it on TEEVEE) Enjoy

This could be a new Thai Tour - "Sex on the Beach: Where to drink it, view it and indulge in it" tour. 😁

I recently went to see the PT dept at the VA and they gave me 1 of those electric muscle stimulation gadgets and the doctor told me putting the electrodes on my abs not only helps my stomach muscles tighten but also improves poop flow. Fixed me right up. Haven't pooped rocks since.

True. That was during Obama's "Apology" term after giving Putin the green light. (search Obama Hot Mic) Zelinsky was still beating his meat on pianos while dancing in heels. Ah Yes, those sneaky, highly skilled "Ninjaskis".

Restore your hope. It means "Lifting My Old Penis" and you bit. 😁

here's where they lost me

I have a prenup - my wife's mom told me she'd be a good wife for me.

Where would we be in this Thailand Forum w/o our proper ration of "Sticky Rice Balls"??!!?? DUDE! You're Famous! You're right up there with "Bob" and that "Gammaglobulin" guy!

There are NO safe, securely built tool boxes in Thailand. That's why there's so many 'tools' running around loose.

That's the 1st sign that you're going to get the "I'm sorry, our budget can't afford to renew your contract for next year..." speech. Also, do you have a copy of your original and current contracts? Another thing that happens at Thai schools is, they rewrite the conditions and terms pages so it only shows you were on 6 month renewals. (happened to me)

you could always try withdrawing 1/2 of each double payment and then deposit it in the 2 months you get nothing. they only look at the deposits.

Egypt would be perfect for you 'Gam" because "DENILE" would truly be a river outside your front door.

Because ALL of the politicians and rich people own shares of the alcohol business and only a few own shares in the weed business.

Because 24 months of business is worth more than 30 minutes of business?

Aren't ALL emotions reactive in nature? By definition they couldn't occur before applied stimuli.

If you've got a car, I'd recommend driving the eastern and western edges of outer ring road - lots of little "burgs" and housing villages with local amenities. Spend a few weekends and see if something strikes your fancy.

No Economics Majors in here I see. No, it makes no "cents" for the mom and pop shops as they would only earn around 500THB a year (assuming a 2000+ item turn around) but for the mass volume dealers like Tesco, BigC, etc. it generates millions in yearly revenue with no additional cash outlay. It's the way of the future - there's also "Shrinkflation" in which your 5oz item for 5THB is now packaged at 4.5oz for 6THB.

Give this site a look (may need to dumb it down for the lecturers at the Tech Uni) https://www.kanan.co/blog/sop-format/

click the links and ask. I've heard of coverage ranging from 40k-80k THB a year. Seems a better use of of the 3m-10m THB sitting in a Thai (or other) bank when you could die at any time. Eat, drink, party and be merry for you might not wake up tomorrow.

A 10 second google search: https://www.axa.co.th/en/international-exclusive https://www.thailand-health-insurance.com/coverage/pre-existing/ https://ten-pac.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-health-insurance-in-thailand/ etc. all cover pre-existing conditions and are in Thailand.

Thai service is not "abysmal", it's Thai. Get used to it.

When she visits, have her go to the bank and set up (install) their mobile app so if it ever happens again she can transfer it back using her phone. I do it all the time with my Thai phone.

It will be when we pay it off next year.

Not sure how familiar you are with the TeleCom industry in general but in MOST cases, there was a single TeleCom group that laid and own the main cables that connect the world. In the states it's AT&T. In Thailand it's AIS. Point is, I have both. I pay 62THB a month for my Thai phone and SIM (and can/do use it from states) It's always best to go with the original if you can IMHO.
