Travel insurance to be arranged for all tourist arrivals over holiday season : Srettha
You need a degree to understand them all, Back in May my daughter came for a few weeks, with her husband, her daughter 2 years 6 months and she was pregnant, she had bought a package from TUI, I asked her about the insurance she paid extra for that, my first question did you tell them you are pregnant? nope she said, go back in there and make sure it's included and do they pay the hospital here or do you have to pay and claim it back, she didn't know, well you need to clear that, better send me the link to the insurance let me read it, I know what happens here,

Thai man murders 2 year old stepdaughter while intoxicated
I'm always lost for words when I see things like this happen I have no explanation as to why would someone do this, poor defenseless little thing, may she RIP little one, so sad. Makes me always think of my little grand daughter who is also not 3 yet and how she brings so much joy to the house every day even though she is in the UK, she's a little monkey it's lovely to see them growing and developing everyday, thank god for what's app and Facebook, we get our daily dose of photo's and video's and put's a big smile on my wifes face, Once again little one RIP,

I have met a few over the last 18 months, one worked for a oil company, another owned a crypto exchange who lived in Dubai, a few work online doing what I don't know, then there is the dodgy ones, Here in Phuket there has been a few of these taxi app's started up looks like Russians, one I know definitely is, if you watch FB groups, many car rent and bike rent, properties for rent anything to make a few quid. A friend of ours is a hairdresser (Thai) and she was telling us that we have Russians hairdressers working from home also doing nails, earlier this year up around Bang Tao area 3 of them got caught running a salon from home,
