Repeat, please get well soon. As mentioned, sounds like your lucky not more injuries.

He's still a rat and I rather doubr other inmates are given such 'entitlement's'.

Perhaps convicted criminal would be more acceptable to you.

Not true at all.

You seem to be very protective of the rat.

"... when there is a brush with another arm of government ..." e.g. car / motorcycle accident, police are called by someone (maybe not you) police investigation uncovers overstay. The person involved might be the safest driver in the world but there's a large % of drivers on the roads everywhere who cause accidents, you can't control them.

And a good drop. Times change with beer, I was recently given a full big box of San Miguel light cans and I quite like it. Since bought a big box of cans.

I was working on a project in Singapore (from Oz) in 1981 when the company suffered a major serious break down in it's manufacturing equipment. Estimated to take 1 week to get the replacements parts from Europe to S'pore. My manager in S'pore suggesed I take a holiday for 1 week and he offered a sponsored return airfare to any nearby country. He asked "Have you ever been to Thailand?" I said "NO" and a few hours later I landed in Bkk with a 4 star hotel booking on Silom, first 2 nights already paid. Taxi driver played games with 'never heard of the hotel, never mind i take you to better hotel'. I got out on the forecourt of the 'better hotel' and asked the bell boy where my booked hotel was located. The boy laughed and pointed to the next building. He carried my suitcase next door, both hotels same owner. Next morning I hailed a taxi, driver agreed to take me to a spices and herbs shop (I had the name and address). Taxi driver took me to a jewelery shop inside a compound with high walls and big gates. Two hours later I stood at the big closed gates and eventually the shop owner unlocked the gates. I bought nothing. And more for 7 days. Quite an experience for a very young naive Ozzie boy. At the end of the project i went back to OZ but got quickly transferred to Singapore office and then to Thailand. Many years later I applied for Thailand Permanent Residency and got it, that's 27+ years back. Been here ever since.

There's plenty of dust / smoke stuff 24/7, everywhere in Thailand. My MIL installed brush strips on the bottom of all doors and had similar installed at all windows. It did cut the level of dust / whatever on the floors each morning quite a lot.

Mother of all jokes this year...

Most / perhaps all of the doctors would be frightened to NOT sign to say he's ill.

Most/ all RSL Lifecare War Vets villages in Oz have a section deliberately set up (very well set up) for this situation. Excellent care, staff are all qualified nurses, many from Myanmar.

And if you're retired and continuing your Injury and Sickness beenefits by doing the self pay voluntary insurance?

"hysterical" you think it's a joker show event?

"... screwed since barely anyone has finished highschool in Thailand." Not true.

True, friends MIL won't go inside modern hospitals because doctors, nurses and customers don't take off their shoes at the door.

Real world. Where's that?

OK, but it's an open board and I expresssed my open thoughts on the subject.

You can find people with 'alterantive' beliefs in all countries.

OIC, anything is possible of course.

"Currently Chinese passport holders may enter Thailand without the necessity of applying for a visa with this running from Sept. 25, 2023 to Feb. 29, 2023." Perhaps that should be to Feb. 29, 2024?

Phuket taxi drivers don't care one bit about that.

And if he is in the royal suite at the police hospital: - What specific treatment is he receiving and what's the timeline for the medication/treatment? - What security arrangements are inplace 24/7 outside of his room to ensure he doesn't abscond and is not kidnapped?

Good.
