    I only just realised that those questions were for a life insurance policy, not health insurance or WRLife!

    I don't think many people are moaning as mask wearing is now purely voluntary unless the individual business makes its own rules. People can choose to wear a mask or can choose not to. I can't really see what the problem is.

    My broker has told me, and has it in an email from WRLife, that claims in Thailand are settled directly; no need for the patient to pay up front (in most cases!).

    Crazy question. What if you have any family members who have already died from one of those diseases?

    Not sure I agree. If I'm asked to, or if it's required, I will put a mask on (I always have one in my back pocket), but if it's not required by the premises I'm in, I think it's a matter of personal choice. Nothing to do with courtesy.
  6. brewsterbudgen
    Why is it courteous if it isn't a requirement? Surely, it's just a matter of personal choice.

    It depends on the branch. Lotus's in Ban Chang are OK with customers being maskless.

    I'm a little confused. Why would you think an insurance company selling thousands of policies might not cover your hospital costs?

    If only that was true! I'd put my wife in a boat!

    Correct. That's what I said. However, a language school can insist on anything they like before they employ a TEFL teacher, and all "good" language schools, like the British Council, Wall Street, Westminster, etc, require a TEFL qualification and usually it has to be a CELTA, Trinity or equivalent.

    I had it done at PDA in soi 12 Bangkok. They're not strict about 2 kids (I only have one) and I didn't need to show the birth certificate. All done and dusted within an hour. Very efficient and well worth the 5,000 "donation".

    Are Islamophobic posts tolerated here? It would seem so!

    Then get the appropriate visa/extension, if you meet the requirements. ????

    The OP was being interviewed for a job at a language centre, not a government school. If the prospective employer understandably requires a TEFL qualification in order to process the WP for a TEFL job, the OP needs one. It's not a legal requirement, unlike a degree, but if it's required in order to teach legally, it's required!

    Thai Immigration use computers...????

    Good news for the cabbies. Long overdue.

    Of course Powell was a racist; to suggest otherwise is nonsense. But then so were the vast majority of people who were born and raised in the dying days of the British Empire, Churchill, Mountbatten among them. Times change and these days they are, thankfully, much fewer in number and possible genuine racism is now a rarity.

    Fortunately his jingoistic views are very much a thing of the past, Brexit notwithstanding.

    Leave it 6 months or so after this visit and you should be fine with visa exempt or a tourist visa. Assuming you are not trying to live in Thailand and the 2 years you were here previously were because you were stranded due to Covid!

    She's a global superstar. I'm sure she has homes all over the world. Maybe she'll retire to Buriram when the Blackpink bubble bursts ????

    Permanent immigrants to Thailand are required to pass a Thai language test.

    Where I live, Lotus's is the main supermarket. It's cheap and usually busy. The frozen salmon is good. Personally, I prefer Tops which is a 5km drive away.

    That Thais are all bad and foreigners are perfect.
  24. brewsterbudgen
    I'm confused. Are you saying one needs to speak Thai in order to "bed" hi-so career women?
  25. brewsterbudgen
    But aren't you just arguing the opposite? There are bad Thais just as there are bad tourists - there are bad people everywhere. Since when does nationality make a difference?
