I'm glad my daughter didn't do that. Breast cancer and reconstruction and long drug regime. Thank god for good insurance cover.

Get cancer and see how far a million will get you. Those drugs you need for years after cost the earth.

There is direct billing, of course.

Didn't read very clearly but to worry. And yes, a lot of people do need to be told that Las I understand it) vaccination is far more about saving lives than stopping the spread, although they do have some efficacy on that score.

You are like many people who don't understand that you can be vaccinated and still carry the virus on your system.

There's another far worse forum, named after a hard wood. Moderation? Nah, don't bother.

What a pathetic and insulting statement. Be ashamed.

Errr, many clubs in The Middle East tend to always have a least a few expensive ladies hanging around, and the others are havens for drunk dancing. Party central.

Rooster said 'why insist on another test on arrival and create more headaches'. Any test it seems. And I was not talking about quarantine. And I disagree only lateral flow for 'travellers' although not quite sure what you mean, all are travelling. By the way, the UK 2 day test is RT-PCR even for fully vaccinated travellers.

Same in other countries, so comparing like with like, I guess Thai private healthcare is OK. I'd say UAE is mostly far superior though, just personal experience.

I guess this glowing report doesn't take into account circumstances when you must visit a government hospital's A&E after midnight. "This town, ooh-ooh, Is coming like a ghost town"

Suddenly you're a medical expert? You need another test after arrival in the UK too, within 2 days. I'm sure these aren't the only two countries in the world demanding this.

Seriously? Try knocking a motor cycle taxi driver off his bike so he gets internal bleeding. He was in the wrong lane and really speeding, my dash cam says so, but 'rich' farang in a small car are always wrong here (but not to a mid six figure sum damages).

The lawyer I used in a road accident case, recommended by a friend that's used him for years, tried to stitch me up, asking police chief to demand a huge fine which he would split with him. I didn't have a clue. On my next visit I was lucky to have a Thai with me who had a great relationship with the police guy as her husband did a lot of work for the station free, the cop told her what was happening. I don't trust lawyers here easily, but that also applies to a lot of western 'businessmen' here too.

Weird. I used the app, entered my 16 digit ID number (given to me weeks before by the hospital for initial queueing) and immediately saw my first jab registered on the app. I didn't need to read Thai, just guessed which was the 'agree' button (if you get it wrong nobody dies) and that was that. Obvs doesn't work for some....

Yes, Danderman123 himself is the generaliser. "Thai women say they are sick of Thai men". I only spoke of people I know. And I'm heartily sick of the 'Thais are lazy', 'Thais will cheat you', etc. rubbish spouted so often on this forum by jaded immigrants.

Oh dear. Stereotypes aren't made up! ????

Not all, no, and l I'm not talking about women I'm involved with sexually, who have a motive to lie to me. See, you're doing it again. ????????

No, you can't correct me, you don't know the people that I know. Silly generalisations like 'Thai women say' aren't in the least helpful.

I'm betting he lost his fizz after that.

Reminds me of a great joke that ends 'doesnt matter, there'll only be me and you there'.

Fair comment. If you like to cook it's a blessing. My (British) wife would probably eat som tam every day if I let her, its her favourite Thai dish! If you don't mind me asking how much does a western native-English speaking teacher in a regular Bangkok school earn a month? 50,000? Just curious. And I guess less in say Pattaya or Hua Hin?
