Absolutely!

I always wonder how my luck in claiming when I hop.on the back of a mb taxi Is the driver licenced? Is he drunk ? They the insurance company would want to know all this for a claim And as I said ,the mb engine size , I never thought of all this Anyway most if the time they only want to get you back to your home country not treat you Give you an example,you hurt your arm falling off a mb taxi on your second day on holiday, you end up in hospital needing treatment,their idea is to get you back to your home country not treat you so if it's just a broken arm you don't bother

I didn't think of that . They probably would use that against you , that there was no alcohol test to determine I wonder if that's somewhere in the fine print that none reads

You don't take out travel insurance? I guess it's not only medical reasons though It covers you ... supposedly...for public liability too ,so if your negligence in a accident your covered they say

That's a difficult one because you have to be in Australia to use the medical services (private health insurance Australia) You may never need it and it's expensive, the question is ,why do you need it ? If you say do get cancer in Thailand or wherever you are , you can come back to Australia and use the free public health system, ok the public health system is not the best but at least your saving that $150 a month or whatever your paying in private health insurance when you probably won't need it

How long do you think you got ?

I think this Covermore , was the same insurance company who denied the Australian woman last year in Phuket who fell down the stairs drunk and went unconscious I think they eventually gave in , I haven't kept up with the story But Covermore or any others they're all the same One thing though....very important is to read the fine print,some differ in moped like the story above this morning of the Aussie guy hurt on a moped accident in Bali They range in motor sizes apparently so some insurance will not insure you depending on the bike ,

I am told , that if you have taken out income protection insurance usually in countries like the UK or Australia and you don't mention you had high blood pressure once etc they still take your premiums every month ...BUT ...when you end up having a heart attack and lodge a Claim then they decline it......"back in 1932 you were recorded as having high blood pressure" ....but we didn't mind taking your premiums for the last 25 years !!!

I'm not just talking about travel insurance here but all insurance But again what sparked my interest was ANOTHER story this morning I saw , a Australian man who is expecting a baby soon took off to BALI by himself and is currently in ICU in Bali after a moped accident Apparently insurance was refused . This is the second case I reiehere travel insurance was refused ,I think last year reading of a Australian lady in Phuket who was also declined as she fell down the stairs drunk ! This is why I'm sceptical to take out ANY insurance ! And you can forget all the other BS insurance such as personal loss thru stealing etc they aren't paying it a 100 page letter from the police to make it difficult I remember a few years ago hurt my pinky in Thailand they send me a 50 page document to be filled out ,too hard ,too cumbersome but alas some on here will write just to be narcissistic, yes I put a claim in for 50 million as I stubbed my little toes and the insurance company paid it the next day no questions asked etc and all the 50 claims I put in this year we're approved etc just all BS

Sad to say , but you won't be missed ,

And what did it prove, what examples do you mean? I know the crime wouldn't be as high as other cities I guess ,less drunken behaviour etc

Beer? Not me I like a good Italian red 🍷 with mine 👌

And the thing is , Pattaya is very safe for a party town. Compare that to other similar Cities around the World where alcohol is the main factor in violence

How can you get the federal government old age pension even if the investment houses are in your wife's name? income is treated as a couple ,so it tells me you are being dishonest to the government ...or far more likely ...your talking BS😄

I wouldnt waste money at 76 getting a trainer ,your virtually on the down hill slope at that age

You can practice opposite to denial , I forgot what psychologists call it ,but you don't avoid it , avoidance I asked a friend in Pattaya if he was going to the New Year's eve concerts 😄he immediately said no ! He is licking himself in as he AVOIDS crowds ,he is in denial ,he needs to go out and experience it

You in Laos now? I think last time you were in Madagascar,you get around

I don't live in the country side so never saw one in the wild

Wonder if it's noisy in Alice Springs 🤣

The question is asked especially those guys who live in condo 's and yes not only in Thailand, I think you Philippines expats have the most noisest neighbours along with the roosters ! I even found out in the country side in the Philippines was noisy , either dogs barking or roosters crowing As for the Vietnam expats it's the traffic beeping ,beep beep beep HOw noisy is it where you live?

Sounds like Australia's 1990's version of the lady sex doctor Dr Feelgood who was on talkback radio every Sunday night Wonder if she's still around

My advice ....live life to fullest 😄

I read it 😁

I used to love their bangers & mash Not sure if it's still going , haven't thought about going there for years ,never see any advertising around it
