  1. How long do you think you got ?
  2. 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 ,
  3. 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 !!!
  4. 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
  5. Sad to say , but you won't be missed ,
  6. 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
  7. Beer? Not me I like a good Italian red 🍷 with mine 👌
  8. 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
  9. 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😄
  10. I wouldnt waste money at 76 getting a trainer ,your virtually on the down hill slope at that age
  11. 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
  12. You in Laos now? I think last time you were in Madagascar,you get around
  13. I don't live in the country side so never saw one in the wild
  14. Wonder if it's noisy in Alice Springs 🤣
  15. 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?
  16. 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
  17. My advice ....live life to fullest 😄
  18. I read it 😁
  19. 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
  20. "Like his passengers"!😱😳Train driver ? Pilot ????
  21. 😁 he will be blowing another's guys trumpet I imagine
  22. I had to laugh at this , funniest thing I read , A Government Public Servant doing a "hard days work " , 🤣🤣🤣 As a matter of interest which Government department did you work for that you did a hard days work? Ones blowing a trumpet and your blowing a whistle
  23. The trouble is knowing when you will go , obviously if your past 80 then time is limited Most will leave between 78 & ,84 A guy at my work who is 57yo just got a diagnosis of 1 year for his cancer but is still coming to work during his treatment,so he knows his time
  24. I think there is a Italian place in Jomtien opposite tinnies pies ?
  25. If go back to Australia at 65 I won't be going to a City like Sydney I may just head to any country town in Australia that's cheaper What are all these country towns like ?
