    Election results show that the Victorian public are repulsed by these lines which have been spouted by the Christian taliban wing of the liberal party. 

     

    So much so, their blue ribbon heartland has turned against them. 

     

    Victorians celebrated the victory by all going out to dinner and not getting carjacked as was the myth your ilk was trying to spread. Save it for the brain dead Queensland voters who buy this stuff. 

    Ha ha ha, WRONG, it was solet Federal Issues that affected this election, locals innVictoria know we have a serious problem from African gangs particularly Sudanese.

    Libs and Nationals would have to be feeling utterly gutted, one can only hope that feeling stays with them and if anything intensifies on their journey to deserved Federal oblivion.

    Only Federal Oblvion for 3 years after the next election, then when debt increases, promises broken, unemployment rises and the recession hits people will remember Labor of 2007-13

    "for example a badly infected tooth requiring a root canal? You cant just nump (jump?) on a plane to Thailand andthen see a dentist and have it covered by travel insurance."

     

    Right and wrong! I am now living in Thailand but a few years ago I was doing 6 months in Thailand and 6 months in the UK stints. The first time I needed root canal treatment a nd a porcelain crown fitted, the insurance paid up. A couple of years later, I had to have the same procedure done again (on another tooth, by the way), and the insurance would not pay as "I had made a similar claim previously"! 

     

    So my insurance company reckons that people can't get toothache twice? 

    andthen (and then?)......love it when mistype correctors mistyping 

     

    your lucky they covered it the first time, they could say the decay occurred in the UK.

    Absolutely bullshizer if you have a pre-existing condition and you declare it they will do a screening and 9 times out of 10 if not all the fooooooking time you will be insured I foooooooking know ya ???? end????????????????????

    <REMOVED>

     

    Heres an idea, get on line and try taking out travel insusnce and declare that you have had a hesrt attack recently, see how you go . You may end up getting cover but you will be paying a lot more in premiums for the increased risk. If you don’t declare you wont be covered.

    How would someone know if they had an undiagnosed pre-existing condition.  They go to claim for let's say a heart attack and are then told, oh no we won't pay because you had it 10 years ago, but nobody knew. I think not.

    And how would an Insurance Company know that you didnt know something was wrong with your health but didnt have insurance in your home country, for example a badly infected tooth requiring a root canal? You cant just nump on a plane to Thailand and then see a dentist and have it covered by travel insurance. 

    Again Insurance companies dont pay out if they dont have to. If they find out your condition was present before you left your home country they wont pay for treatment. And you are right, if you had a heart attack 10 years ago they wont cover you for it if you have another one in Thailand

    many travel insurance policies will cover "acute exacerbations" of pre existing conditions including medical evacuation back home.

    Ha ha ha, good one, you almost had me there. Health Insusnce companies are charities? Yeah right. 

    No insurance company will cover you for pre-existing conditions, ever, its how they make their money. You would slso be lucky to find one that will cover you for an undiagnosed pre-existing conditions, if they dont have to pay up they wont.

    The average working tourist spends more money on immigration fees and VAT (both can be seen as tax) then the average Thai employee pays in tax, plus the fact that those freelancers aren't stealing jobs from the locals. Thailand should welcome them with open arms. At least the ones from western countries.

    They may not be stealing jobs but they ate working in Thailand and not paying income tax in Thailand. That in itself is a crime. I know if you did that in a Western country the respective Tax Offices would be hounding you.

    I was doing my own thing online. I was not working in an establishment or taking anyone elses job. There are many people traveling the world doing this. Yeah maybe your not officially allowed to do this but there are people that stay in Thailand for years working online. I had around 7000 baht with me in cash and the rest was in my bank account. I can't see why anyone would want to carry 20000 baht with them in their pocket. It's not exactly small money. The Embassy clearly saw I had enough in my account when they gave me my visa which I'm also guessing immigration have access to. I have also read that people that did not have the money in cash were aloud to draw it out of an ATM. For the guy that asked I am from the UK, which they seemed rather surprised about.. doesn't take long to save up money from the UK to be able to travel Asia for a year. Below is the only paperwork they gave me. I will check the passport stamp in a bit. I have also had like 3 tourist visas and maybe 2 exemptions.

    Doing your own thing online, you mean you were working while living in Thailand on tourist visas? Seems they had a ligitimate reason to deny entry, next time just take the 20,000 cash

    Insurance is not an "American thing", but you are right that if a UK national gets sick in the UK he is automatically covered by the NHS. Same I believe for Australians in Australia, Germans in Germany etc. But an Englishman is not treated for free anywhere in the world unless he has travel insurance (for tourists) or health insurance (for expats) for the country where he/she resides. The exception is the EU where all countries have bilateral cover. After Brexit the English would also have to pay within EU unless they take out insurance. My Aetna (former Bupa in Thailand) insurance covers me for all countries except the US. It is not really cheap, but for the equivalent of just over 3 beers a day I have full cover worldwide - when I present it like this people usually agree that it's worth it for the peace of mind alone! :clap2:

     

    I'm glad that you've had good innings so far, and I hope you live to a venerable old age!

     

    Actually you’re wrong, there are reciprocal agreements between some country’s, like the England and Australia.
