Thanks, but I have no interest in punishing anyone for this in any way. The m/c was worth 40k, no big loss if it's a write off, police have already offered 10k as is. My government minimum insurance have already given the hospital permission to spend up to 30kbht, no further notification required. 6kbht spent so far ...... a few more visits booked. I'm paying for bandage changes at a local clinic @200bht a go, too lazy to queue for the free changes at the hospital. Extremely happy to come away from such a serious accident with just a small financial loss, and a few weeks pain and limited mobility. Considering all the other holiday horror news stories on here, resulting in massive bills and permanent disabilities. It could have been me, but it wasn't.

Big difference between accepting death when he calls, and wanting to be dead.

Nah, she's best pals with them, they're all on first name terms with her.

They would if they knew who he was. today my misses is off to the police with a Honda dealer to value the bike and get the repair costs. Then she'll decide whether to repair and sell, or to accept a police bid on the wreck.

IMHO marrying a woman anywhere in the world is a high stakes bet!

I remember slowing for the red light way ahead then a big 'crunch'. Nothing between then and being helped into the ambulance. Police a in a 'feeding frenzy' to buy the wreck from me (3 phone calls in the last hour). They're getting a Honda dealer to evaluate the repair cost (if they catch the guy, he'll be paying). Told my wife it's her bike and she can sell to whomever she likes and keep the money. It's a bit too big and heavy for me now, much more comfortable on the Click 160i.

Refused online 90 day 3x in the past 10 days because I have no extension expiry date while 'under consideration'.

Good news just in, wife just got back from a round of Police and hospital form filling visits. Insurance say fully covered for first 30k of hospital bills, treatment done, and any ongoing visits. Hospital handed her back the 6k I paid yesterday then and there. (They're keeping 300bht for the lung exerciser) Well done, Thai police, insurance and hospital. Amazing service all round!

Haven't seen the bike, apparently it's pretty bad, wife went to police this morning, they want to keep it for a while. It was 49k s/h 3 years back, policeman says he'll buy it for 20k as is, my misses will haggle a bit then probably let him have it. I won't drive it again, an don't really want to see it.

Driving Honda Cb300R back from CM immigration 90 day report Friday morning, open road slowing down for red traffic lights, car rams me from behind. Next thing I know, police man wheeling my m/c away, says he's taking it back to the police stn, ambulance man helping me into ambulance. Bleeding all over. 5 broken ribs, broken collarbone, collapsing lung, too many cuts, bruises, road rash to list. Without a full face helmet I would be dead. San Sai government hospital were great, treated immediately, no waiting, latest equipment, doctors really efficient. Police were great, Ambulance was great, services as fast (if not faster) and efficient as anything I've ever encountered in the UK. Many X-rays as they're watching for blood and fluids in my body cavities. Never seen a portable X-Ray machine before, latest gear at my bed in the ward. Couldn't sleep in hospital and asked to go home, after 2 nights they let me come home yesterday. All strapped up, one leg working, 1 hand sort of working (poor motor control) other hand uninjured but strapped up to stop me pulling my collarbone out of line. Pills to reduce muscle swelling, bone swelling, 3 types of pain killers,and a little 'suck toy' to keep my lung inflated. Police, hospital, Government insurance, wife all liaising to recover hospital expenses (6,350bht). I paid when I left, but will likely get it back, not a big concern for me. Really surprised I'm not dead!

I like it there, and if I didn't already have a Thai wife, kids and house I would probably move there. Reasons, 1. Immigration don't bother you. 2. Everyone appears to like foreigners. 3. Almost everyone speaks English. 4. Wide range of English/Oz/Mex/German restaurants. 5. Alcohol is extremely cheap. 6. Plenty of women available. 7. Really nice beaches and sea.

Doubt the waitress owns the place, so she doesn't care if there are any customers. Easier day for her if the place is empty. Did you give her a tip?

I never risk scrambled eggs, Thais think it means stir fry them.

GiffGaff, they will post it to your Thai address, free (10-14 days to arrive). https://www.giffgaff.com/freesim-international You then buy a Thai DTaC 1 year data sim for your calls/internet in Thailand (1,800bht). https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ais-ais-maxspeed-sim-net-inw-turbo-tree-mobile-i1400912107-s19221527862.html? DTaC in SIM slot 1, GiffGaff sim in slot 2.

That'll be because of the 'runs' you've had since you got here. Combined with dehydration.

Same!

Just edited my post to correct a spelling, and it's hidden again. Can't see anything risky about this photo .......

If they've got the money, let them stay. In fact, why not let everyone who has the money stay as long as they like?

I believe Israel DID bomb the hospital. And I also believe Israel and the western media will cover it up.

Me too, same park, and they all wanted to show me their rooms after. Obviously I refused ...................

Same for me, if my posts need approval, you're about to lose a poster. This 'hidden' post has a photo, and it's hidden awaiting approval.. Made a previous post on another thread, no photo, and it wasn't 'hidden'.

Agree with you on Hoi An, got there on the 7am bus, left around 9:30am. Da Nang had a great beach though. Took this photo of some tourists early in the morning at Hoi An

Same as Thailand/Philippines/Cambodia, Lots of poor and desperate women looking for an opportunity. Some are looking to steal, some are looking for short times, some are looking for husbands. Protect your wallet while enjoying what's on offer. 3/5 year VISA for $50 for foreign husbands with Viet wives.

Plenty of 1* reviews saying it's the V15 not the V15 Pro But a great price for a phone that was released for 11kbht. But if you look at a seller selling it as a V15, they get 5* reviews. 2,780bht delivered! https://www.lazada.co.th/products/vivo-v15-100-ram-8g-rom-256gb-1-i4503860705-s18260585350.html?

You think English women speak like that? You've been here too long!
