    Wow! Great information thanks, didn't even know what a prosthodontist is or what TMD and TMJ stood for.

    These guys I have sympathy for. Or is it empathy? The fact that we remember someone who died even decades later shows that we are human. Or is it that we are so grateful not to have been in their place?

    Same as U.K. at the moment.

    Thanks again for the information! After years of discussions we finally came to the conclusion that my accident risk is minimal, health care plan is now unaffordable and what my wife was most worried about was being able to pay for my funeral. So Life Insurance it is. Pays out 300,000 upon my death so enough to pay for my funeral plus a little left over to tide her over. To be honest it doesn't make financial sense at all but it's what she wanted.

    Thanks for the clarification. That helps myself and others!

    Add to that normally reliable water and electricity supplies, 24 hour A/E around the corner at your local Community Hospital and actual improvements to roads, railways and airports, not just the empty promises you hear in other Countries.

    You mention treatment following a moto accident. Would that be as a driver or pillion and/or being a moto taxi passenger? If as a driver wouldn't you need to be covered by your own motor insurance?

    Very clearly explained and helpful. Thanks.

    Nothing has changed. The British Medical Council report was in 2019, however it doesn't seem to have filtered through to either my GP or caused any amendment to the hospital blood analysis software.

    The practice nurse told me that they (my GP) use the limits preset into the hospital blood analysis program. She wasn't aware of the British Medical Council's recommendations but was, however, interested. I would guess that the limits the GP's use Nationally won't change until the hospital blood analysis software gets updated somehow?

    Unless it's tested by NHS in U.K. and you're over 40. Recently had mine tested for the first time and was over the limit. However, BMC reported in 2019 that the threshold was assessed using 18 to 40 year old's hence takes no account of normal increase with age. When I took their revised figures into account I passed with flying colours.

    England (semi-rural where I lived) is a fine place to be in Spring. Summer is usually OK too. After I turned 60 I became more aware of the cold and damp in Winter. Pain in your extremities can make you very miserable.

    Stayed in a 'motel' recently. Spacious, very clean, air conditioned, comfortable bed, large flat panel TV. Towels and even toiletries provided. 200 baht per night, incredible value!

    Oh yes, she knows. She took it out because her friend's husband recently passed away from alcoholism at my age leaving no savings. Widow had to find 150,000 baht for his funeral. Pay out upon my death will be 300,000.
