    I get quoted less than half of my current premium on this site. Is it real?

    ...from what i have heard from several local Thais..they maybe about 60% less than other companies, but when it comes time for repairs some of the repairer's standards are definitely in question with poor workmanship, non-computer matched paints and extra charges being added on which the underwriter won't cover..so beware, make sure you get a copy and full explanation of the Assessor's quotation.

    Marriage is very difficult. Even when you both are from the same country and speak the same language.

     

    It's especially difficult marrying cross-culture.

     

    You're never going to understand everything, or maybe half of what goes on.

     

    I'd say try and live together for a few years first before you decide that this life and this person is the one.

     

    Be careful of your money and don't spend too much...keep most for a rainy day and if you have a house or property in another country don't sell it.

     

    My wife and I have been together about 25 years and travelled and worked together on most of my projects. Presently retired an living in Isaan for the last 6 odd years. It's all good. emoji3.png

    So many Thais haven't yet cottoned on to the fact that there is CCTV everywhere. Including boys in brown who have been caught in stores collecting their regular 'donations'. My favourite story from this site was the shop owner who installed CCTV in her clothing shop and it caught her stealing from a customer's bag while the customer was in a cubicle trying on a dress. Brilliant!

    ..just testing the camera perhaps..obviously the angle was perfect.

    Wow, imagine the coincidence/odds of you seeing the same GP in another country who had four patients from a city in northern Thailand all having the same cancer.

     

    So, you have been castrated and obtained throat cancer in CM. Why did you risk coming here for dental work after all that?

    Gosh, don't think I would ever return sure hope you are feeling OK.

     

     

     

    ..once gelded a stallion becomes a good stayer in the human race..best of luck to OP.

    The truth is if you are denied to entry in Thailand

    it's can not be because you are working in Thailand, because at the moment

    you are not inside, so it's difficult to prove.

    Then it's just free accusation or suspection from the immigration

    then they can use another excuse (Not enough money, too entries in thailand in one year

    or whatever reason, bad or good, real or not) and denied you.

    The good question could be if you are denied for a dumb reason

    (For example not enough funds even if you have your atm card and a well stocked bank account)

    what are your legal recourse (I mean with a correct chance of success) before to be pulled in a plane back to your country?

    ..Well Immigration have the right to ask whatever question(s) they wish..after all they are the first line of authority..the same as it is in any country, yes?

    You're completely wrong. Most good private hospitals in India flooded with expat patients, so much so they have a desk near reception just for international patients, and sometimes an interpreter for Arabs etc, too.

    ..Im not wrong at all...infections is what Im talking about..and infections are rampant in any hospital, particularly those situated in a tropical location..it doesn't matter if they have interpreters, viruses and bacteria don't understand.

    well they had better sort out the inconsistent and too high costs then, otherwise India will always be the first choice for many looking for high quality, cheaper medical services in Asia. The strong Baht is also not helping.   They may like to check on the qualifications of some of their so called 'consultants; too while they are at it. 

    ..agreed..then they are up against all the viruses/bacteria/fungi...i would think very carefully before taking that step.
