joint liability of spouses in car accident
The Fugitive replied to Lolothai's topic in Marriage and Divorce
Could your Mum's information now be out of date? Are we specifically talking motor matters or accidents/injuries caused in other ways? It would, however, make sense in that wives could not drive uninsured and then, because they are housewifes (unpaid domestic duties) claim they have no money to pay compensation for injuries and damage to third parties? -
LK Metro being the epicentre of paradise on earth.

I'm guilty of contributing to the probably illegal crossover of brown (foul) wastewater and grey (sink waste and surface run off). My soakaway was regularly overflowing and stinking our tiny garden area out. A plumber friend resolved the problem by installing a waste pipe from the top of the soakaway and running it into the surface water drain by our gate. Nothing visible as he buried the pipe but I'm ashamed of the occasional foul stench it causes outside our house.

Agree! Readings should be taken in a consistent manner e.g. while sitting after you have been sitting for 10 minutes. I have found the whole arm machines incredibly inaccurate both at mobile blood donor sessions in Thailand and at my GP's practice in UK. They now use the small machines presumably because so many donors (such as myself) failed at every attempt.

Blood pressure reading seems to be a part of initial assessment for everything.

Agree! The pass/fail limit is built into the analysing laboratory software. Your doctor would have zero input. The limit wouldn't be tailored to you in any way. Would probably be the doctors receptionist reading the result and 'sacking you off'.

The temperature is more important the older you become. Thailand is very warm/hot all year around. Lisbon officially goes no lower than 15 C in Winter, although it does feel colder. In the North you get snow. In the Algarve I experienced 25 C on Christmas Day. Too many tourists but you only have to venture a few miles inland and things become much more traditional. At Nazare one Christmas gales were so strong that everyone was advised not to venture out of doors. Awnings were torn off shops and road signs bent over by the wind. Portuguese cafes are great, they use Italian coffee machines producing superb selections. Draught lagers are excellent too, everything is available from 6am until midnight or until the last customer has gone home.

Many thanks for your info. Seems to be the place to go if you need anything more than the usual!

Useful to know thanks. So far in Thailand only visited a general dentist who referred me to a specialist friend in the next larger town. As satisfied with the quality of treatment (and price) at this high street clinic I have stuck with the same place, as does my Mrs. Khon Kaen would be further to go for us but is another option.

A most frequent and reliable contributor in Pattaya who no longer posts on Facebook reported that a friend of his, a retiree with no motor, accident or health insurance policy came off his moto, landing upon his head. No crash helmet. Government hospital saved his life. Moving forward, the guy needed brain surgery estimated at 1.5 million baht. Unable to pay, he was moved onto a ward of 40 dying patients where personal care continued until he passed away from his injuries. As to what his chances of survival were and what state he would have been in following the brain surgery we shall never know. Personally, I have no sympathy, the guy had choices, wear a crash hat, take a moto taxi, taxi cab, baht bus or walk.
