Yes we should all believe what someone posts, especially without credible evidence, ahhhhh social media, by the way, I am a male and 6 months pregnant, there you heard it here on TVF first ????

 

Wow mate your the first male I have heard to be 6 months pregnant same as Michaelwife your a tool.

I went to the4 Hospital in Chom Thong seen a doctor was given the cream and tablets for my problem was shocked when they told me 140 baht total. In Australia $70 " 1400baht" then the pharmacy $40 "800 baht " total 2200 baht. Sorry I can't complain about the cost. of visiting the hospital.

I live in Hot district about every 12 months immigration are in the area just checking that you are living at the address that you have told them until you have been there for a long period then they rarely visit unless they feel like a coffee break. If a farang upsets someone that person may put a complaint in and they come and make sure all the paper work is up to scratch.

Nice to see the tiger and not a monk in sight,

Or been held at two breeding stations in nearby Ratchaburi province where 86 died since being taken from the monks at Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua temple.

It seems that the problem is with tourist who are not paying there hospital bills why does the hospitals not require their passport to receive treatment as they do for expats who are living in Thailand when we visit a hospital must do. I don't see why making retirees pay for a private health insurance is warranted. If the Government used it's head and requested a higher payment for visas of about an extra 3000 a year for health cover at a public hospital that would not be needed if a private healt cover is in effect.

By the report it states that tourists are the blame not the retirees. All retirees have sufficent funds in their Thai bank accounts to cover the 400000 baht need by insurance. The older retiree if they can get insurance will be losing up to 100000 plus dead money for unwarrented insurance. 

Everyone is blaming some rich Thai driver, I have never seen a Thai use this finger salute, so maybe it was Westerner and not a Thai.

I have a OA visa which is due in the next 3 week, I do not have health insurance cover. Does this mean if I go to Immigration prior to 31 October and have my visa extended for another 12 months it will be okay as that will give me 12 months to sort out Health cover for the future.
