Rule of thumb when buying precious stones from unknown sources, no bargains out there, if it's

too good to be true, it's probably is, and lastly, don't buy diamonds or gem stones if you are not

sure what you're buying, stick to what you know, there are lots of charlatans out there that will

be only too happy to separate you from your money..

If it wasn't for the motorcycle taxi, I be missing very important appointment with my doctor,

at least this city have an alternative transportation mode to get you out of situation like this one..

Today was told by a Thai realty agent that the government announce that starting next year

there will be significant reductions in some of the taxes payable when selling/buying a property

in Thailand,, any body heard such declaration from creditable source?

..... and 22 Russian Tour Guides...the only tour you will get from these 'tour guide' is the tour of

the inside of a bar/go go lunge.....

feel sorry for them ... and stuck with a Government who does not care about it's people

Hey yingluck ... while you are touring Isaan andd staying in 6 stoar hotels .... your people are freezing

How about selling a few HERMES bags and buy your people some blankets?

I think she wear and uses Prada products...Hermes aren't pricy enough..

It would be very helpful if any one knows of an insurance policy that covers the rider and pillion

against mega hospital bills like mine, in a sense, I was lucky that the guy who hit me had a third

party insurance as many vehicles are on the roads now days with no insurance at all save for

the compulsory/mandatory third party coverage that every vehicle must have known as the po lo bo.

I intend to do some searching around for such coverage and will post results if any..

I have ben riding motorcycles since I was 16, and that is many, many moons ago, riding any thing

from scoots to powerful choppers .... I have never been involved in any serious accidents as this one,

as far as I know there aren't insurance policy that will cove a m/c rider for such large sums of medical bills,

the most maybe 50-100,000, the thing is that I did the right thing and got an estimate cost for the surgery,

in writing, to be safe that I will not be out of pocket, and than the bill arrived, a whopping b. 150,000

more than the estimate, now, nothing can prepare you for that, all is left to do is to see is how the hospital

will recover the cost from the insurance company and what will it cost me out of pocket,

On a lighter note, it seems that the surgeon who worked on me did a cracking job, and I'm happy

with the results...

An update....

Had the operation don yesterday at Bumrungrad, sourly face nurses, cocky surgeon attitude,

b.10,000 a night for room only, and despite prior cost estimate at b. 210,000 it ballooned somehow

to b.355,000 just because they had to use bigger more expensive metal rod to mend the arm,

to which I have told the cashier who come to collect the extra fees that I wish some one would have

told me about the cost deviation and allow me to make an inform decision where to have the

operation so I will not be out of pocket, she seems to sympathies and said she will take it with

the insurance people..

For all we know he can be working for some US spying agency.. who's to tell?

Do we really know how those spooks thinks and operate? time will tell...

It seems that this subject stirred a lot of emotions and responses, and I can understand why,

the Thai government is simply playing sill tit for tat games... and they're known for that, I personally

don't think this will become the new norm, Thailand has a lot to lose than to play silly games....

Thanks to all for sympathy and good wishes, I'm fully insured to what ever my come, my point was

for others to be mindful of similar situation where by they're NOT insured themselves, and have

to rely on the other party's insurance..

Had a motorcycle accident last week, not my fault, broke my arm and need an invasive

surgery to repair broken bone with an ORIF procedure, (open reduction and internal fixation)

that will cost all up with after surgery care around B. 275,000 having it done at Bumrungrad

hospital,

What I'm trying to convey is that the third party insurance of the car that hit me covers only

B.300,000, plus, you can recover B.50,000 more from the compulsory motor vehicle insurance

known as Po Lo Bo, but if your injuries in an accident, damage, and lose of income are more

than the above, than it will have to come out from your own pocket, you can of course sue

them in court later, but good luck to you to recover any money from almost penny less laborer

how owns nothing..

How about launching some lower cost flights to more destinations guys? those LLC airlines

are killing you out there... and this is why you're in the red most of the year... wake up....

Now there is a shocker.. Facebook is tracking your activities...and why do you think they get their

revenues from? from tracking your online habits and using it to their, and cohorts, advantage

in advertising.... there is no free lunch my friend....

Don't know about 'recovery' but shrimps priced has gone up nearly 40-50% in the

last few months here in the community's fresh markets, and that should be a good

indications that the article above lack creditability...

Note to self, beer, lady boy and ATM bad combinations...

That Fat Little Bully-boy in North Korea obviously didn't pick up any Good Traits when he went to school in Switzerland, I'm just waiting for some of his school-mates to write about what a Lousy Fat Pig he was as a student. Surprised the CIA hasn't taken care of him yet.

I wonder what was written under his picture in the year book's of the place he study...

most likely to become a dictator... most likely to wholesale murder people?

If you get up with a 'wood' in the morning you're a Mr. in any case, I wouldn't stand

in front of her under any circumstances......

What does their clothing, their age, their loudness or the fact that they smoke have to do with the theft?

I think he has just finished reading a mickey Spillane crime novel and he's just trying

to paint us the scenes....

seriously? show me your bank notes? to a complete strangers? if this is not the epitome of

gullibility I don't know what is...

If I were him, I try to keep low profile as much as I can, not be seen or heard, until

the very dark storm's clouds hanging over his head will dissipate a bit...

Thailand is lagging behind in almost everything, except perhaps in corruptions, nepotism,

and coup d'état.......
