I don't necessarily think that it is best to assume it's only a cracked rib and send you home with pain pills. My experience in Thailand is that they would order an X-Ray, and take it from there. I don't know where you were the the hospitals near me are pretty right on and possibly more thorough than in the US.
They don't treat cracked ribs, if one's broken you can see it's out of line.
No need for x-rays.

I don't believe that's true and my comment comes from statements made by my trusted family lawyer.
Never trust a Thai, especially one pretending to be a lawyer.

2 minutes ago, khaepmu said:Our house was built many years ago upcountry. It's quite old now but land value has risen significantly since we built the house 20 years ago. I am semi-retired now and we are both living in the house. She told me no one would bother me if I wanted continue to live there in the event that she passes away before me. I was told (and don't necessarily believe it) that since we are legally married I have a right to live in the house if she should pass before me. But I cannot sell it or leave it to anyone when I die. I am not all that bothered about who gets it when I die. I guess the best thing is to update the will. When I ask my wife who she would like to leave the house to when she dies she seems totally non committed. ( we have no kids) She said possibly one of her nieces but her relatives all live in other parts of the country and we rarely see them.
You can't trust any Thai, or any Thai lawyer to tell you the facts.
Make a simple will at the local Amphur office, using the form they provide, it can't be contested.
Wills made by a lawyer can be contested.

Rented mine from a bar, and as the action was pretty good, offered her a longer contract at the end of the first week.

Just a quick remark; contracts and agreements between husband and wife are not legally binding. Any other party (or the government) can contest it and the contract gets invalidated by the court.
Agreements between husband and wife may be cancelled unilaterally by either party.
That doesn't mean they aren't valid, or any other party can contest it.
Just not binding between the husband and wife.

Why didn't she leave it to you in the will?
Easiest way is everything, including the house to be left to you, with you as executor.
Then you, as executor, never bother to complete probate, leaving the house in your dead wife's name.

I'm guessing Chinese nationals were running the online gambling from Sihanoukville.
Now there's no work for them, they are all going home.

Contact the airline and get them to take you around in a wheelchair, they will deal with the baggage.

am due to fly to the UK three weeks tomorrow but am now very worried that I will not be fit to travel.
I am taking painkillers every six hours to control the pain.
Adult diapers or have a catheter fitted.
Local government hospital will fit a catheter and bag for around 300bht.
Not great, but at least you'll be able to move around and fly.
I bought myself some fisherman's pants when I had to wear a catheter, really good for hiding the bag.

Name us one good thing about PP?
Beer is 75c a glass and there are plenty of 'lady bars'.
That's two good things I just named.
No.3 you can order cannabis as a pizza topping.

Having lived in both Vietnam and Cambodia, I would choose Phnom Penh over HCM or Hanoi.
Easier to get a 1 year visa through an agent, and then you just adapt to the city life. Lots of great restaurants , French and Khmer food.
I would still miss Bangkok . But personally I don't have to worry about moving.
Lots of decent Indian restaurants as well.
Not to mention you can get cannabis as a pizza topping.

When you choose a username that is a male supremacist term, you must expect a certain amount of ridicule.

n the big scheme of things, getting hustled out of a hundred dollars or whatever is no big deal, it is almost certainly less than you paid for your air ticket, it should not be something that ruins your whole trip. Sadly, for most people, it feels like a punch in the stomach and, when they tell their friends about it, or share their experience on social media, it does untold damage to a country's reputation.
I hardly ever pay more than $100 for flights.
My last trip CNX to Da Nang return (July) was 2,500bht.
My next trip CNX to Hanoi return (October) was 2,900bht.
Hotel rooms $10-$15/night, free VISA waiver on entry, Vietnam is cheap as chips!
And I make sure any flights I take arrive well before 5pm.
Arriving late at night is just poor planning.

s it stands, Vietnamese airports are pretty good - for instance, you can get Grab to pick you up at the HCMC airport without any problems, which is not possible at Chiang Mai airport - but there is certainly some nonsense with taxis in the smaller Vietnamese airports that are so important for driving growth in less developed regions.
Never been to a Viet airport that didn't have a bus service into the town centre.
Hanoi is most expensive at $2, HCMC $1, and Da Nang 25c.

Was there a sly crossover from racial equality to cultural equality? When did multiculturalism become a buzz word? Is multiculturalism a one way street that is fundamentally anti western or even anti white? Afghanistan and Thailand are clearly not multicultural but is this to their benefit or detriment? I welcome people's considered opinions.
I think it all failed at sexual equality.

Your girl must be different, my 'hired help' knows exactly how to ask for money in perfect English.
And I know how to answer in perfect Thai that I've already given her enough.

They don't give Tourist VISAs when you arrive in Thailand.
