  1. Many Thai citizens have no bank account . That fact must make the 88 percent with less than 50,000 baht look better than it is .
  2. When you return a rented car damaged you have to pay .
  3. Great Scott Scott , thank you for the warning . Batten down the hatches
  4. The letter I should give a clue to the average individual residing in Thailand .
  5. I am not sure he is a winner at all . More likely he is a loser financially over this incident . Face saving for both sides i suspect
  6. 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
  7. 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 .
  8. 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 .
  9. The car has failed the moose test . I suspect the vehicle is a pickup
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. I see no practical or fair policy by travel insurance companies to follow them guidelines you qoute as there business would evaporate.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. I dont like Mondays anyway
  16. 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.
  17. 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 .
  18. I understand your sentiment but your remark on Walmart is not relevant in my opinion. Many decent law abiding citizens shop at Walmart I am sure . Only wanting Harrods customers has its own problems
  19. More spending by people with less creates more wealth . That is the reason why the US became the largest consumer in the world
  20. Perhaps Thailand should look at how Toyota makes more money than Mercedes Benz
  21. Insurance companies are regulated . The small print has to be within the regulations .
  22. The insurer would have to prove that alcohol was the root cause of the accident . Just the fact the insured has been drinking is not enough for the insurer to deny the claim .
