  1. I am swedish by the way, a neighbouring country. I think that what he is saying is absolutely nothing new at all. The rule in Sweden is that if you are living steadily outside the borders for more than 180 days in one year, and you have no living quarters back home, than the gouverment "sign you out", and out of the health-programme that we scandinavian countries have.

    For me living here now for more than 5 years I have an accident-insuramnce by AIA, and I coldheartely calculate that if I get sick outside accidents, I mean health-issues that will be extremely expensive here in Thailand, than I have saved up a buffert of 15.000:- (SEK) so that if that happens I can afford a ticket back home again.

    It will take me about 2 hours to "sign in" again, and by than I am a full member again of the health system in Sweden. I have really a heard time to claim that it is so much different between Norway and Sweden, we have almost exactly the same laws about everything.

    I think your friends problem is how he shall plan his future and calculate with risks of being sik and so on... Planning will be very important for him. For me luckely I am not worried at all, as I said, If it goes to hell with my health and I need immidiate healtcare I just go back home in a flash.....

    Good luck

  3. Do the bridge. Just make sure you are licensed and have insurance. Heck, I used to drive in Mexico ... enjoy the thrill.

    Quite oversimplified!

    Should mention that you need a special "purple" car registration from the Amphoe plus the "T" sign (also only distruibuted at the Amphoe).

    Driving is OK towards Vientiane, but road conditions on the countrside are even worse than in Thailand.

    Right hand traffic not to forget (you sit on the "wrong side").

    Definitely not worth the hassle just for a visarun!

    Makes sense only if you want to tour the country.

    do you mean purple registration from the amphoe and T sign delivery in nong khai or delivery where your car have registred plate ??
