OK for what?

Nowhere does the OP mention anything to do with the new requirements for OA visas which I presume you are referring to.

 

For those looking at general health insurance it would be useful info so thanks to @claynlr for posting. 

Ok, you are right. I just took that for granted, due to all the talks about it.

you make no sense, so if you even just politely complain expect to be attacked by a mob, but then you say if you can't show 'manor' (I think you mean manners) then expect to get attacked by a mob. Either way, just accept that you will be attacked by mobs, right? ???? 

Why is that. I said that passing, eating or even complaining about the food does not create a reaction like this. I also believe that he might have been doing something to get this reaction.

I definately do not accept that people get attacked by mobs. Although, that happens in all countries when people go too far. Mostly it probably have to be something much more bad than this to be attacked in another country. However, this was in Thailand and here people react differently according to things and that has to do with culture. People that can´t accept the culture, understand it or adept to it is always getting into problems.

For an example: If you would call somebody a water monitor in the US, England or Australia people would probably just look at you and laugh. Here that is one of the most bad things you can call somebody. When dealing with other cultures and do not fully understand them, I am saying that it´s advised to thread carfully. 

By, the way, thank you. Yes, I meant manners. ????

canada has for many years entered passport info provided by airlines into the police/criminal and government data banks..  i was advised it may take up to 2 years for data to be correlated to consider for fraud: ie: health insurance only allows x # days outside of country coverage, employment/unemployment insurance allows only 2 weeks vacation/year, etc 

So, that means it is still check up and immigration on exit, right? Just that you do not see it working.

You think this was funny? A mob (at least 14 people) armed with sticks and what looks like boards chasing down a lone man. Can't wait for one of the guys getting a kick out of this to have something similar happen to them. But they probably won't be as fortunate as this guy, who looks like he was taking care of at least three of them pretty well before the mob jumped. A lot of the old guys on TVF will manage to wheeze about 20 ft. and then get their brains beat out. Laugh then.

Yes, I do not think it´s funny either. However, I have been living here long time enough to know that you just do not pass a restaurant, eat in a restaurant or even just politely complain about the food creates a reaction like this. Just maybe he is one of these guys that can´t show manor and adjust to the culture in the country he stays in or visit. So, what do you say? Have you just been attacked out of no reason at all?

It´s both Fathers Day and National Day, so my answer would be no.

Really? So, you are living in this hot country just waiting for the 2 month of colder season. Good choice!

Because you are supposed to understand that when you read.

Tell me why.

Because it gives you a possibility to be anonymous whenever you wish. I guess you do worry and feel unsafe, due to the opening of this thread.

Pretty simple logic acually.

Ok

Nope, there is nothing that says you need to have one. If you can look away from that you are better off with one.

Sad to say, it´s just another bloke that missed the importance of insurance. Hope he recovers, though.

But to believe that total strangers will continue to help people that refuse to do what they can to protect themself, will very quickly come to an end and just be a fling of the past.

Much like your rant!

Look up the word rant. Since when can that be used on somebody that is clearly stating the facts?

Completely false statement, one of the first rules of posting at TV is don't make a blanket statement

 

The United States for one, and the only thing invisible is them checking my baggage for weapons or explosives 

What is false? Are you stating that US no have Immigration looking up people that exits the country?

That´s a false statement. If you don´t understand that, there is no help for you.

Bad buying choice. Only ever invest in already existing property.

Hope he will rot in a Thai jail. That´s what the <deleted>ty guy needs.

All is probably a very good idea. The big problem is that they have to learn basic english to be able to advance. That´s where the impossible factor is hidden.
