Main purpose of travel insurance is the health part. Do you have health coverage while in Australia is thereby the question.

Most of the worldwide providers won't insure 75 years old. From my research the Thai providers offer poor value for money. Can't you reinstate your Medicare?

Yes, 75 is out, not returned in 7yrs so not sure re Medicare, but assume can do.More meaning travel issues.. also cover for thai partner I failed to mention.slap.

What's the dumb idea? Trying to get a cheap ride to Bangkok, or using these services? Why else would I bother using these services other than to try to get a good price?

 

I jumped to higher price categories until I finally got an opportunity to negotiate with a private service. After seeing how small the cheaper cars are I was happy I didn't get an opportunity to ride in one to Bangkok.

 

I think this is a problem trying to get rides to Bangkok from Pattaya as I had no problem getting a ride from Bangkok to Pattaya in the afternoon.

Excellent, you have just explained why its a dumb idea! Tons of well priced cabs to Bkk from Patts!

I don't understand what you're talking about, but Grab listed prices are much higher than Bolt. My problem getting a ride to Bangkok was not because they were busy (it was 7 am), but because no one wanted to go to Bangkok. There were a lot of available cars nearby, but they canceled my orders, not me. I had an important appointment in Bangkok so I had no time to mess around. Next time I need to go to Bangkok, I won't use either of these apps.

I was not refering to bkok trips,local.Why would they jump at a cheap oneway bkk trip at peak time. But your right about one thing...dumb idea to begin with!

The listed prices for Bolt are much cheaper than Grab, but getting a ride can be problematic if you go for the cheap rides.

 

For example, I needed a Bolt ride from Pattaya to Bangkok on a weekday morning. They kept canceling my order even though they were nearby, one after the other. When I picked a more expensive category, a Bolt car turned up and they asked me if I would transfer to a private service to Bangkok for a negotiated price - at least as much as a Taxi. After seeing how small the Bolt car was, I was happy to ride in a comfortable SUV.

Grab are similar if busy, dont move or very slow, if you cancel ride, hit with fee despite non performance, no recourse due to 'App bot thing'. Normally excellent, cheap,

Well that's why I'm thinking how I could stay in the NIRUN apartments for a week so I can visit you in your 21sqm room 

 

Sounds like a plan for sure, maybe even take you for a coffee @ bigc food court, half price if I supply my own mug! 

Upcoming trip? Is that where you get your 'comeupance' I wonder?

These folk are after BJ. End of.

Their complaint is about the 200 guns. Not gambling.

 

Reverse logic that, u dont think they see BJ as a major player in illegal gambling and wont him gone? Guns no doubt play a part, but their motive would be to down him for any reason at all. Bit like a politician with undisclosed shares in a defunct media co.

Sounds like Emily Pankhurst to me  and at least if you had £10 in property you could vote   back in the 17th century in the UK.  Women waited longer than the aborigines.

Maybe if the ladies had the vote back then they would have advised against Invading the aborigines!

I cannot see why the head of this group is even involved.

What victims?

Maybe just another gofer being paid to twist the knife in BJ's back?

No victims to gambling! Your Under rock are you?
