The woman, who was travelling alone,

Yet another one gets raped. When will they learn not to travel here alone? Yet still they keep visiting Thailand.

As for Thai male behaviour............

There are options...

And tax havens where Wile E Coyote Tax man cannot get you.

The tax saved buys a lot of beer n pussy here.

Did you think all Roadrunners were bird brained?

Beep! Beep!

Apart from making me incredibly hungry, Taco Bell are only going to increase the number of fat Thai girls we see around. 20 years ago you almost never saw a fat Thai girl. You'd see a stunner every five minutes. Now look. Think.... when did you last see a stunner?

As if that isn't bad enough, Da Roadrunner is vegetarian, the only meat I eat is pussy.

You forgot the show-off factor which for Thais is a commanding force. They should up the steak price to 50k so the peasants stay away when puyai comes to impress his mianoi.

 

Not sure how that would work in a hospital. Gold plated plaster?

Nah... just put a Mercedes Benz logo on the hospital gurney and charge the Phuyai Farang price.

Hopefully you are old enough to decide for yourself.

If they don't let you back in then the rest of us may as well just pack up and leave.

They are thinking about it.

You would have thought that as there appear to be more than a few pensioners not telling the DWP where they are that if they were being hunted down and prosecuted as fraudsters the cases would appear in the media. The gutter press like nothing better than exposing disability fraud for example, where people have claimed for years as crippled, only to be found out running marathons. often the cases run into tens of thousands of pounds but even then they don't always pay anything back. Pension 'fraud' is unlikely to be much at all in comparison, but if people are being caught and prosecuted there should at least be scores of documented cases, and not just one or two it happened to my mate stories. Obviously if post is sent back or somebody calls them up and tells them you have been in Thailand for 20 years they will act, but I do not see any evidence of them actively looking for people by examining immigration data bases or going through passport re newals.

Does anyone imagine the DWP are going to fly to Thailand and come looking for you?

I would prefer to go to a public hospital. However, my Thai language skills are not sufficient. A Thai friend helped me to register with Chula Hosp. which is the closest hosp. to where I live. Problem now is I can't use the hospital as I have no idea how to get to see a doc. due to language. Tried and got sent from pillar to post. Gave up and go private as little as possible. 

Any idea how to find an interpretor?

Don't waste your time at Chula. Hours of waiting to see a student. Malpractice is common. The only good thing I found at Chula was their Physiotherapist.

If you want a Govt hospital try Ramathibodi. They speak English. Only problem is you will have to go there to get an appointment first and return maybe a week later to see the doctor.

If you need to get seen quickly, try Mission. Private not for profit Christian hospital. They have a Farang GP Dr Nick Walters.

Other than that it's 'open wallet surgery' at the private hospitals.

Why are Thais useless drivers?

Mainland China is even worse.

Meanwhile Russian + snow + vodka = accident. But at least that's understandable.

I see a bandage on his leg. Lucky she did not wait till he was asleep and cut his dick off, or is she reserving that for when she gets out of jail?

Looking at the size of him I wonder why he didn't just flatten her? Thais are ferocious.

My mad ex #2 tried to run me down once in her Toyota.  Luckily (for me), she is a terrible driver.  She mounted the pavement at Nai Yang Beach and almost took out several elderly Swedish tourists ????

Never teach em to drive!

Doesn't take much to set off the immature primitive Thai male. Boy look at those cave men go.

Lets see the TAT use the clip for promotion of tourism then.

Mandatory health insurance wouldn't work as we are all different. For example: A Brit gets Cancer, he buys a plane ticket for 25,000 B and gets it done on the NHS.

Our problem is that the Thais might introduce it without thinking of the repercussions.

150 posts and counting. We can all let off steam here as much as we like but it won't achieve anything. Therefore I have written to the man whose name is mentioned in the article at the start of this thread. If 150 of us wrote we might just achieve something.

As if overcharging is not enough, malpractice is also common. You are lucky if you find a doctor who knows what he is doing!

In February my Thai GF was diagnosed with a type of lupus and initially treated for four days at a private hospital in BKK.  The bill was approximately 240K baht for the doctors, tests, a private room and the medicine. She was tested, diagnosed and in a hospital bed within 2.5 hours of us arriving at the hospital so I was happy with the good if a bit expensive service.  About 3 weeks later she took a turn for the worse and we returned.  The steroids prescribed compromised her immune system and she developed some type of infection.  However, this time instead of dealing with two doctors somehow 8 got involved.  Suddenly the amount of testing went up dramatically and now most of the doctors were dropping in each day with a nurse in tow for some reason.  One wanted to do an MRI (70,000 baht) on her hip due to an indication of inflammation and I mentioned that she had a lung infection detected on an X-ray the previous night, perhaps that was the cause and denied the procedure. I also cancelled the physical therapy they wanted to do as she was so sick.  I became suspicious and demanded a bill updated to that afternoon.  I discovered that a drug used for the lung infection Meronem 1gm injection was billed at 49,428 baht.  The price online was 1148 baht.  The price on other drugs were also overpriced by at least 300%. I demanded that they discharge her and drove her to her hometown government hospital.  Incidentally, they also failed to tell me what her problem was for some reason.  She had pulmonary tuberculosis!  One would think that would be important enough to pass along to me or anyone that entered the room!  The bill for 4 days was 450K baht and would have been close to a million if I had agreed to the other treatments and drugs. I had been a customer for 10 years but will never set foot inside that hospital again.    

Incredible... which hospital was this so we can all avoid it?
