Good question. Can anyone confirm whether insurance is required or not? If not some authority is very badly at fault.

I think you have to be under 60.

You can bet someone will be getting financials in some way.

Just break the law then if you can get away with it, there doesn't seem to be any victims. Some people are real suckers for just obeying peoples laws.

I have been thinking that for awhile, there are people who are using the pandemic, and the Russian-Ukraine thing to make extra money. ie a motorbike taxi in Pattaya wanted to charge me 20 Bt above the normal fare because I was carrying a cabin bag. He was told NO! One family member was charged 500 odd Bt for the same medicine she was charged 300 odd Bt for previously in a government hospital. I'm sure some of you have other examples. Sorry, I have gone a little bit off topic here.

"Most men are embarrassed about their bodies". I'm not so sure about most men. but there are many big bellied, big titted, ugly disgraces to humanity walking about shirtless in Pattaya. They are definitely not embarrassed about their bodies, but bl--dy well should be.

Mate, you are not going to get a competent and honest government. I imagine all the Thai's and farangs here would want that too. Personally I would just take a democratically elected government, Thaksin, his sister, daughter, anyone you want to name, just not one with any military influence.

The answer is a straight yes because in the UK, definitely, and probably all the other Western Country's governments are also greedy and corrupt, the same as Thaksin, but they were at least voted into power in a general election. do you really want any future Thai government with any military involvement?

No offense OneMoreFarang, but I would rather see The Pheu Thai party win the election than any party who has soldiers involved with it.

I wonder who will have accomplished the most personal wealth during their time as PM. The unelected Prayut, or the properly elected Thaksin. ????

He probably could with all the money he will have accomplished since the "coup" that never was in 2014. Please don't give him any ideas.

If I was a Thai, all I would want to do is be able to make sure that whichever party "wins" this election, that there will be no soldiers or anyone with any connections to the military, involved with them what so ever.

Thanks Crossy. That's it now, your a star.

There are 3 outlets for the surge protection only, surely there must be somewhere to plug the desktop in to in the UPS, I cannot see anywhere except the TEL, LAN, in out.

I now have the UPS, but the instructions are in Thai, no English. I thought all I had to do was plug the all in one desktop into the UPS, then the UPS into the mains, I did that but am obviously missing something out. Anyone help?

I don't like googling things as you do not always get a straight answer, besides I would rather get an answer from someone who has had the problem and had it fixed correctly.

How Is a Retirement Visa Simpler Than a Marriage Visa? Simple, making things unnecessary harder is in the Thai gene's.

"which will throw Thailand back to 2006." Thailand was a far better country then than it is now.

There is no bigger criminal than the present unelected caretaker PM, difference is the soldiers have all the strength behind them that would keep him out of jail.

"he increased the minimum sum required in the bank from 200,000 baht to 800,000 baht". That was bad but any westerner could go to the border every 90 days, and get a stamp without being forced to do a 90 day report. Can they do that now? We need rid of the soldiers at all costs.

That is certainly the way it should be. If only they could find some way of keeping any soldiers well away from parliament.

A cashless society in Thailand???? With big companies like Makro and Honda not accepting debit cards.

It is not often I agree with you, but you have got this one right.

Well why shouldn't you? This is a public forum, and commenting is what it is for, as long as it is understood that everyone is entitled to an opinion as long and it is within forum rules.

I am also staying at home during Songcran apart from going to the shops, as all it will take is some farang to throw water over me and will be treated as self defence. No prizes for guessing how that will turn out.
