Maybe Simon and girlfriend quarreled , and he dashed off to Thailand on the first flight he found. Then regretted it and came home. I did that, young and stupid, ran off to India . Stayed 4 months though, had a great time. so where is Simon ????

It’s a witch hunt. Nuff said.

Hi all , I’m looking for a Travel Insurance for the over 70s in France. No pre -existing illnesses.id be very grateful for any info , thanks.

Thank you, I’ve looked into this company and it sounds very promising. Cheers.

Thank you +++ The family won’t come and leave the mum alone at home. Maybe I’ll try FB Thailand page !

I wonder if immigration/ police have checked his hotel, did he check ou, take his belongings? Did the sister check his hotel into too ? Very worrying.

His phone showed him 5 mins from the airport !!! His battery could have been empty, he could have had an accident . I would think that advancing his short ten days stay , either he was out of money, or he didn’t like wherever he was. Leaving so quickly after only a few days seems strange. I suppose all hospitals have been checked. His hotel ?

What is not clarified is, for the 60 days exempt, do you need a return ticket or not ? The article says the “ immigration officer might ask for one” !! But by then it’s too late surely ? Saves a lot of questions and phantom flight out. Why not write the rules clearly ?

Hi, I have family from France coming to Thailand for Christmas. The problem, one of them can’t find travel insurance because they are over 70. I’ve also looked , some don’t insure after 65 ! So I’m wondering if anyone on ASEAN has had family over 70 ( she’s 72) who have visited Thailand and have had travel insurance?? I really don’t think anyone should travel without. Would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions ? My nephew used a travel agency that accepts but they only operate in UK. Thanks pS, should I post this on other forums ??? Medical or General ?

Hopefully Suvarnabhumi airports roof doesn’t cave in !

Doesn’t matter what they call it, pattaya will always be known as Sin City ! outside the city it’s ok, otherwise the center resembles a shanty town.

Jomtien next to the night market and Copacabana. Stinking smells and heat as the driver kips in the bus waiting .

Most Thais try to understand me, and sometimes smile when I get it wrong. But sometimes asking a shop girl in the Mall for a size bigger/ smaller, the mouth falls open and she goes back to her telephone ! Some try, some don’t.

We hardly ever compliment the people who really help.

I helped 2 French tourists years back when they had a horrendous accident in Patong, A Norwegian man with his little boy in front on a jet ski , ran amok right into these 2 French guys, literally opening their legs up to the knees on their left sides. First, the police, who stayed on the case for 3 weeks were fantastic and took me everywhere, to the guys hotel, opened their safe , paid the outstanding. Bills they had etc. Drove me everywhere. The facilitator who was Italian was equally marvelous, managed the insurance claims and helped with police work as I did not speak Thai, and blocked their rooms in ICU and then their rooms off to everyone but the police and myself , as the jet ski guys wanted to see the two tourists. Even though they had nothing to do with the accident. There were many witnesses. They were lucky to be alive . The huge operations went well, albeit with zip like scars all the way to the knees. They were finally repatriated on stretchers to France where they spent 9 months in rehab. I don’t know how I would have managed without the facilitator and the police man . There are very good people in Thailand. The Hospital was BPH .

Of course, and I doubt that Apple cares a fig ! All over the world we laugh at each other’s neighbors, even our own landsmen.

It’s still a bit of a mystery to me. Thaksin knows he is too old to enter politics again. He knows his daughter doesn’t have a chance either. He is a very rich man. So what is he doing, for what reason ? Just seeking power behind the lines , I can’t see it ? Maybe we are all barking up the wrong tree ?

Are you an ASEAN spy ?

They’re all bar owners on Koh Samui !

Carrefour agencies , in every town in France , cater to the cheap getaways , with prices flight and hotel u der the 1000€ mark. 10 days in which they spend on the beach, unless they have one of those awful tours that race you around Bangkok, Chiang Mai and some very quiet hotel on a beach far from anything . ( usually north Phuket ). Too late for summer hols now, and everyone knows the different in the seasons in Thailand. Currently here, South of France, we have a heat wave 39c, hotels are packed to the rafters.

I think Thailand will be closing their Embassies/ consulates. Leaving only offices that are there for diplomatic reasons and Chamber of Commerce. Everything points to it.

Are you for real ? I can think of many words to describe you but not accepted here. In my view, people who have these dogs should be fined , made to pay a huge compensation to the mourning family, or face 5 years in prison, and the dog put down of course. Time for Thailand and every country to ban these types of dogs.
