Mad Mick , what has Vietnam , Cambodia ,Philippines or Laos, which you forgot to add, have to do with the Thai Government ?
I see that there is no real meaning to anything in what you wish to make a statement on .
Is it not dangerous to feed back electricity into the grid without the power company knowing ?
If the power company is doing work in the area and there is electricity flowing when they think it is turned off then a worker could end up electrocuted .
How did the man end up with hand cuffs on his wrists ?
Must be more to the story .
All i know is the man was drinking at the bar with friends and picked out a bottle of water thinking that it was free of charge .
Security demands money for the water .
Next thing the man has hand cuffs on his wrists .
Something missing in the story
It appears as though the Australian gentleman has been put in his place . Ten points to the clear winner and 10 points for the loser to apologize for his folly .
Thank you for your concern about my ability for sight .
I am not clued up about different types of vehicles on the market in Thailand .
However i am clued up on the amount of pick up trucks in Thailand rollover .
You never mentioned the moose test on vehicles that i had raised . Perhaps you have never heard of the test , then i therefore apologise to you .
A ombudsman will not just look at the policy that the insured has signed . The emphasis is on if the contract has been written according to law and see that the insured is provided with what is paid for .
Your interpretation of drink driving laws combined with walking out on a verandah do not hold water
Most drinkers do what they would do at home while traveling in there free time .
If an insurance company wants those people to change there habits to satisfy the insurance policy to what you advocate then there profits will be reduced .
I say you advocate as I do not believe any ombudsman would go along with the line that if you are not legal to drive your not ready to be compensated for falling of a verandah.
Not much space at all.
Yet really , what has driving a car got to do with falling of a verandah or any other damage one could do while traveling. There is no connection in my opinion.
I should think his pilots license could be under theat .
But seriously , if a insurance company were able to inforce that a travel insurance meant you had to be tee total for the duration of the insured's travels before any possibility of a payment in the event of a accident then 75 percent of people would not bother with travel insurance.
I agree with your opinion 100 percent.
As far as being off topic I disagree as the product in this case is the availability to live in Thailand without all the obstacles that the Thai Government creates.
When I lived in Norway the insurance companies refused any payout if you had any alcohol in your blood . That changed after entering the agreement with the European Union .
