  1. You are not limited by the amount of cash you carry in. Over 10,000 you have to declare it, so as long as you're not laundering money you'll be fine.
  2. I think it odd that people seem to complain endlessly about a people and county that provided them with an escape from their county. Does it not occur to them that the county they fled is rife with problems because of people like them?
  3. I wish high-deductible catastrophic was available for individuals. Everything I looked at was too much money, for too little coverage. There are some pretty great, cheap hospitals here.
  4. Yes, it's nice the trucking company let's him take a loaded truck home, It's just another of the many benefits of being a drunken truck driver in Thailand, you get a free "company car" to drive while you're off your shift.
  5. Of course, if you do keep banking apps on your phone, not being an idiot solves the problem as well.
  6. Came here in '98, got my first car here in '00 and I'm on my sixth car now, and going shopping for a new one at the Motor-Show this weekend. Worked in at KIZ in Prachinburi and drove the 350km round trip at least once a week to Bangkok for over twenty years until I retired a few years ago. Also driven all over the country for holidays and whatnot. You?
  7. Did you not just compare them? In both cases, the idea is to spend less buying healthcare than buying insurance. Most everyone has care available to them in their home countries, and it is often "free". In the US you have Medicare if you're 65 or older and Medicaid if you're not. If one has a few million baht, they can cover most any medical issue in Thailand, except maybe long-term care issues, in which case they would have to repatriate. I like insurance, and I have always been treated fairly by them, but they are in the business of collecting premiums, not paying out claims. I "self-insure", but I have Thai SS medical and US Medicare to fall back on if need be.
  8. Yeah, it's possible he got his load the day before, then took the truck bar-hopping, and was on his way to Makro where he can take a nap.
  9. That's true however all off topic from the OP.
  10. What about you paying for Putin's invasion by buying Russian oil & gas?
  11. Not if you use cardless withdrawal.
  12. Where are you from, and what atrocities are you responsible for?
  13. Same with the dumba*s start-stop in my 'tuna. Seven years and it still bugs..
  14. It is worth nothing that people generally do not post rave review for insurance provides, and when they do, they are often discounted as shills. With any real insurance policy I've had, I have never had a problem collecting on something that was clearly covered, and have even collected on a few things that were not covered.
  15. If you're want to get it in the US, and you're flying cross-county anyway, check the prices in Texas. Much cheaper than CA and the people are nicer too. I'm 65 and I had two implants done in Thailand in the last year, the last one just finished a few weeks ago. I thought i was money well spent, but everyone's situation is different. You should be prepared to spend $1,500-3,000 in Thailand, which is about the same as in Texas. Your current dental should pull it "free", and you'll have to wait a few months to have an implant done anyway. If you don't want to spend the dough, just have it pulled and get a removable partial-denture for the one tooth. Sounds like it's in a decent spot for a partial, and they are cheap. The partial will also keep the teeth spaced correctly in the event you want to get an implant later. I would not get a bridge,,,,
  16. Where are you from? It seems to me like it happens more and more in California, while it seems to happen less and less here. It also seems the roads here get better and better here, while getting worse and worse in California.
