Really? Why not??

I didn't mean to make that sound personal, and I apologise if it came across that way.

The Royal Bangkok Sports Club and the RBSC Polo Club are members only clubs with security guards at every entrance. Nobody is allowed to just wander into the grounds unchallenged.

To be admitted you have to show your club membership card or be signed in as a guest of a member.

The non-Thai membership of the club is just a few hundred people, what with entrance fees for membership being something like half a million baht. That's assuming you already know a proposal and seconder at the club.

I understand fuel will go up but that's hardly a massive impact on ones life, right?

 

Unless you run a haulage firm, airline etc.

Or if you buy goods moved by haulage firms.

Just about every single thing you touch on a daily basis was transported to you using hydrocarbon fuels.

Raw materials sent to China by ship. Then transported by road to factories. The factories transport their finishef products to ports. More ships to get your goods to Thailand. Lorries. Delivery vans. Motorcycles.

If every single company and person in that supply chain is paying more then you cannot expect to pay the same.

Royal Bangkok Sports Club/Polo Club. Just about every HiSo lady in Bangkok is a member.

I'm not sure you would get through the gates though.

I was at ABAC Bang Na when it started, got back to Krungthep Krita Area with it screaming - and so whatever it was didn't get ground down.

I do realise this I am double vaccinated, but what I was saying is some people could think why bother if you still have to test and there are many out there who are against vaccinations

What you are saying is that you think some people might be complete idiots.

You're probably right.

All these tests also send a message as to why bother getting vaccinated when you still have to do an ATK to gain access to anywhere.

Because vaccinated people can still be infected with the virus.

Vaccination doesn't guarantee you won't get the virus, but it might help relieve your suffering if you do get the virus.

Let's see how sharp you are. Using logic, prove I am wrong.

  Just to be clear, the ‘common cold’ is not a distinct virus in its own right, it’s a set of symptoms, cough, sneezing, runny nose, we’ve all been there. It’s caused by any one of several upper respiratory tract viruses, one such being the corona viruses. There are others too.

  Therefore Covid19, The ‘Rona, Delta, Moronicon……they are by definition just variations of a common cold virus.

What you have just said is exactly the same as saying:

All cats have 4 legs.

All dogs have 4 legs.

Therefore all cats are dogs.

Are you suggesting that a/any health insurance provider might agree to a policy after the event?

 

Seems to me doubtful for several reasons:

 

1. Possibly very illegal.

2. It would set a precedent that the health insurance company would certainly not want: 'You did this for xxxxx, so why can't you do it for me?' 

3. The whole insurance industry would be totally/absolutely opposed to such an action and would very possibly take action to prevent policies being written/used after the event. And not surprising. 

You're really not getting it, are you.

Perhaps you should go back and actually look at what I linked to. It certainly wasn't health insurance.

Can you get an Elite Visa if you have overstayed/been banned?

Just wondering, in case the guy in the OP wants a new Elite Visa...

OK, let me rephrase it:

 

When you say "Axa has an excellent policy", did you mean:

1. You did buy this policy AND you did make a claim AND Axa did pay accordingly to the brochure

or

2. You just read the policy online and you've the feeling that this policy is good?

or

3. You work, directly or indirectly, for Axa and you're very keen to promote their products?

 

Please clarify

 

Why do I ask for your clarification? The same company seems to have an "excellent travel insurance policy" with high level of coverage for personal items....

However,

The trick is that, when you make a claim, they do ask for the original receipts / invoices for these personal items (socks, shirts, etc.). Who, in his right mind, would keep this kind of receipts?

 

If they're "picky" to reimburse the theft of personal items (less than Euro1,000), how can we trust the same when the amount of money involved is much higher?

There is no way that you have you clicked the link and read the headline of the policy I linked to.

Great!!!

If you bought the policy I linked to I don't think you would be submitting original receipts for personal items, as from what I understand, kidnappers don't usually let you out to do clothes shopping.

Here is a link to a on topic article.

Basically it is " Buyer Beware " regarding insurance as they contract out of any Covid related liability.  Unless otherwise stated  https://indaily.com.au/opinion/2021/11/11/a-quick-trip-around-the-covid-changed-world-of-travel-insurance/?

Australian article but relevant.

I think you need to click the link in my post and actually look at the insurance type that I linked to.

See my comment just above.

Perhaps for medical/travel insurance, but not for the insurance I linked to.

So are you saying that axa would cover these 2 people and family if the bought the insurance

Give them a call and see what they can do for you.

I dunno , it depends on how you word it on your insurance claim . 

  *I had just arrived at the airport and then a group of three masked men came and accosted me , they stuck something up my nose and then forcible whisked me off to a room where they locked me in for 14 days and wouldn't release  me unless I paid them 325 000 Baht *

Or perhaps...

I had just arrived at the airport when a group of three masked men came and accosted me. I was face raped against my will by a man with a long probe and then forcibly imprisoned in a room for 14 days. I was held hostage until I paid them a ransom of 325,000 Baht.

My priority is to have Thailand removed from the UK Red List and then I can go home to UK.  Once there  I see no problem to enjoying my visit.

While you are in the UK, getting vaccinated again with a different vaccine is also an option. I know people who have done this so that they benefit from easier access to both countries. It's a very personal choice so I understand if this route is not for you.

To work online here requires electricity and internet connection. So Thai resources are being utilised.

What if you use solar power for electricity and a satellite connection for internet?

No Thai resources would be used in this case, unless you are going to say that Thailand owns the sun.

If you have a decent condo to sell for a reasonable price then PM me. I am definitely not interested in paying insane prices!

Glad you got it sorted in the end.

Great info. Thank you for taking the time to write this up.
