Private hospitals charge too much. My entire government hospital bill so far is around 8kbht (Inc about 20 x-rays) easily covered by my government minimum m/c insurance that will pay up to 30kbht. I haven't paid them anything, just hand my passport in the payment window on each visit, sign a few papers, and the insurance pays. I really don't understand why everyone insists on using private hospitals, there's no waiting for emergency treatment and the same English speaking doctors usually work both hospital systems.

VeePN add-on for chrome, it's free.

OP sounds like nonsense to me.

Was at government hospital yesterday, arrived 8am, 2 x-rays at 8:30, saw doctor at 9:30, and out by 10am.

Not that old, just less optimistic.

I live in a gated community with 250 homes, I'm the only foreigner. None of the Thai women appear to be anything beyond normal. Only 1 looker in the lot, most as dull and shapeless as any middle aged, middle class Brit women. Normal women in any society are overrated IMHO.

=3 bits of bone broken. I have a 'mildly displaced clavicle' = 1 break Don't know if it makes any difference. At the moment my attackers 1st class insurance pays me government minimum wage+ for every day my arm is in a sling until the doctor signs me off (4 weeks until next hospital appointment). If surgery is required, they also pay for that. As my deep muscle injuries (hip and knee) still confine me to my home, I'm in no real hurry to push forward, it's not as if I can go anywhere or do anything. Can't walk more than 20m, drive a car, or a scooter, or ride a bicycle. His insurance already paid out for my wife's m/c repairs (30kbht), and the m/c has been sold.

My advice (but not much use to the OP) ........ Always keep enough money in the bank for a retirement VISA. Never spend more than you can afford on land in another person's name. If your wife has a terminal condition, maybe best to sell the land now and get some of your 'investment' back. A legal fight over inheritance with her relatives may well take longer than the rest of your VISA extension after her death.

I'm paid a pension every month, then i spend it. No need to track anything.

In the west I'd be sitting in a residential care home waiting for an afternoon game of bingo.

I only ever discussed the price with girls in bars, don't think any of them ever had a problem understanding me.

Still housebound, another 4 weeks of arm in sling, doctor says everything healing. Police station next week to discuss action to be taken. Locals are suggesting a few years jail for him, I suspect a weekend pretending to be a monk more likely.

I don't accept responsibility for decisions made by those who ruled me or my ancestors.

I don't accept your argument. With no direct agreement from me to participate, I deny any and all responsibility.

I understand you volunteered ........ so what does that make you?

I don't believe UK border control keep records of citizens entry/exits, so therefore not possible at this time.

It's not my nature, I've never harmed anyone.

I didn't slaughter anyone, so why include me?

Mom's fault for not doing the washing up!

You can't see THC, I was under the impression that the glitter was terpenes.

You'd think someone that rich could find a younger and more attractive woman.

Just use Royal mail International recorded delivery, about 10 pounds. Never had anything go missing, ever. DHL and Fedex are useless!

You should all show more respect to the owner of this forum.

No whining from me, I'm very happy with my full Brit pension.

I'd be more worried about her waiting to make calls when I can't hear them.
