  1. English 72 pre existing and refused renewal after 10 years of paying, yes Sringarind just walked with my wife asked to see a consultant, and wihin an hour and a few forms I had my hospital card and was waiting to see a charming lady who has cared for me for 3 years, whilst I was waiting to be discharged the Radiographer came to the room and drew some pictures on my chest and the following week I started daily for 20 sessions, private room gives the usual benefits food wine etc but the medical care would have been the same. Sorry as an afterthought I am self pay.
  2. Always wondered why the government don’t chase the UK pension increase, more to spend on Leo Chang and golf
  3. 200 Ltr oil drums, rope, and a back hoe pretty hi tech stuff.
  4. I noted a mole had got some what larger on my breast, saw the consultant at about 12,00 at 2pm a biopsy was done, with a follow up the next week, 3 days later a phone call at 9pm to say come In tomorrow as the biopsy was non conclusive, another biopsy and same same 3 days later a phone call come in tomorrow, and I was on the table to have a male mastectomy at 7pm same evening, 4 day stay in a private room 20 sessions of radiation, follow ups etc with change I recall from 26.000฿, my 3 monthly check ups a staggering 50฿ consultation fee, two further tumors have since been removed from the same area both benign and 6000฿ day case, if you can suffer the 4000+ Private room which in my opinion are superior to Bangkok Hosp I would recommend anybody needing surgery to not overlook Khonkaen Uni hospital.
  5. I disagree on one point but this is only from my experience, i live in Khonkaen and have had the need to have surgery for a stone and a Melanoma the later needing radiation and follow up surgery, i cannot fault the care I hade in the KK university hospital a private quality room in the new wing 4000 ฿ a night a great care, I’m sure at a fraction the price of private,
  6. My experience at 72 was to exclude just about everything and hike the premium, they know a payout is on its way, if i added all the Premiums up over 30+ years with limited claims I would have enough under the bed to cover all but the worst, and at best if I enjoy a quick exit there would be plenty for the wife to get on with. HINDSIGHT is a wonderful thing.
  7. You will get to a point that your insurers will refuse to quote due to your age
  8. Agreed a discussion in a bar the other evening “coffee bar” you understand on this very subject, gave me the impression many uninsured Falang lives in fear on this very subject. Thai gvmnt you are missing an opportunity, if Falang are chased out the pensions stop coming in, so why not take say 2500 a month from those willing to pay, i for one would jump at the chance at 72 knowing that it’s this or nothing.
  9. I didn’t need to be told about the risks from family friends or where ever, my parents ensiled in me common sense and that has got me to 72 years of age without to much bother, common sense is all you need to get through life. With regard education in Thailand, i was shocked when my wife’s daughter asked me to check her online English work, I was shocked this is 12/13 year old stuff and she is waiting to go to high school, a typical example, Mr Jones says “ I will ………………, took, take, 6 please. before you all tell me this is not a Thai child’s first language, she is and has been doing English language at her school, and wants to be an interpreter, she will learn a lot more from me on her weekends at home if she ever gets to High school.
  10. No,calling the shots to whats suits the mood at the time, no large gatherings has come in as a useful tool for sure.
  11. I take on board your “limited data” note, but it is with this “limited data” the authorities are calling the shots
  12. Russians can come because they have money
  13. Russians with a belly full of vodka are quite obnoxious, and without they are even worse.
  14. They will be so excited when they go out tonight!!
  15. I am convinced 90% of what I am reading is bull <deleted> and made up crop to fill a gap in a newspaper
  16. Now they are testing and finding a few they are blaming faulty test kits
  17. There may be something in this train of thought, let them decay to nothing use Covid as there excuse and open Museums and art gallery’s in the redevelopment, I’m only joking they would never have thought of this idea.
  18. Transformation needs to start at the top Sir, Red Bull, Ferrari Joe, it is little point asking the minions to conform without role models to follow.
  19. Time to go and buy an unregistered fishing vessel that hasn’t violated the law PDQ
