Is that legal? And what can we do about it?

Not only the private hospitals..... the Govt ones are at it too with some charging double for Farangs.

When I asked hospital staff why they were checking my Passport and Visa, they replied that they wanted to know if I was a tourist or resident. They further explained that my Retirement Visa classed me as resident and that I would get the Thai price. Which also tells us that tourists are being ripped off for more. I still get the impression that Farangs pay more than Thais.

Costs of manufacturing Hydrogen, and the cars that can run on it, will come down in time. What happens if we keep going with electric cars when everyone has one? Given the charging time, how long will the queue be at the charging stations? I want the character and soul of the ICE with zero pollution. Give me a Ferrari and Sunday morning I'll drag body out of bed, go find a tunnel, wind the windows down and floor it just to hear that addictive sound. Give me an electric car and Sunday morning I'm staying in bed.

This scam has been going on like forever and nothing done about it. Good to see the Farang giving the Thais a dose of their own medicine.

Kier Starmer cannot remain in power four more years, by the next election it will be too late as we will be overrun. Sadiq Khan is waiting for his chance to be PM. At which point the Muslims will take over. There are already some 40 Muslim members of Parliament. They have also wormed their way into other positions of authority in Councils and the Police. Nigel Farage is our last hope.

Good idea, except that by the time you need a care home you will be in no condition to get it up! We have been living in a brothel since we arrived in Thailand

Don't go giving them ideas! It used to be long ago one needed a Tax Clearance Certificate to exit the country. The system was so hated and corrupt that it eventually got shut down. They once assessed that Roadrunner owed 30,000 Baht based on figures the conjured out of the blue. I refused to pay and got on the train to Malaysia without the dreaded certificate. On the train, Immigration were fining people 500 Baht, which actually saved me 29,500. Amazing Thailand.

These are not true asylum seekers, but invaders, whose plan is to take over and turn the UK into a Muslim country. Starmer welcomes them, at the tax payers expense, while ignoring the needs of the British people. He needs to be replaced by the Reform Party's Nigel Farage.

Why not?

It is not difficult to solve the migrant problem. Stop the free food, accommodation, benefits, medical care, asylum and the migrants will stop coming, as there would be nothing here for them. Then deport the lot of them and take back our country. These are not proper asylum seekers, but invaders bent on taking over the UK. Note how they worm their way into positions of authority. Starmer has to go first.

All know that no one survives a nuclear war. So no one is likely to start one.

Was able to activate a replacement card in Thailand but I don't know what happens if it is your first card on a new account?

Yet Starmer has plenty of money to spend on migrants who never paid any tax into the uk system. Free food, free accommodation, benefits, asylum. They even have free central heating while uk pensioners cannot afford to turn on the heat. Disgraceful, we need a new Prime Minister.

I am also curious about this. The card is VISA based so it ought to work worldwide. If opening a new Nationwide account online it is necessary to type in a UK address. Once you have the account you can type your Thai address in there if you like and your Thai phone number. Seems it is a computer we are dealing with, not a human, so it accepts what you type in without question. Go paperless and do all online with a card reader, which they posted to Thailand! They will also post cards here. Nationwide support service is not good and I just love the letter that comes back suggesting I visit a branch. Experience of other UK banks has not been good but Lloyds works ok, about on a par with Nationwide.
