Stone barking mad

Let out freely in your 🐇 garden in Thailand. Do you not like your rabbit? Some people need to get their brains in gear.

Vacation/ short term travel insurances pevacuate you to a place where medical care can be provided, using in appropriate means of transport. There is no amount of cuts and fractures that cannot be treated and corrected in Thailand after being transported in an ambulance. The key being a flight back to your country is not medically necessary Dreaming if you think you are getting a medevac flight from these policies, Please read the exclusions, carefully. During covid I purchased a full year of SafetyWing, .

Yikes! Get well soon.

Elephant riding is an experience I do not care to repeat Nice friends though arranging a proper medevac I have not seen an actual "travel insurance" policy that would cover it though I heard they exist.

You cannot renew a visa. You can extend your permit to stay. If you wish to argue terminology that is fine but just understand the rules and restrictions of what Thai immigration can issue.

Hey Snowflake, The abbos there were harmless alcoholics and women. According to what you wrote it was better when they could be driven out of town by WHITE Aussie men cracking stock whips I know plenty of them going back to the 80’s. Decent “blokes” aside from the racism and homophobia

Recently I went to Brisbane for the firstime visited the West End There on Boundary Street there were many signs and historical markers one explained how men would come with stock whips to crack and get all the blacks out by sundown then on Sunday they were not allowed in town at all I happened to see some people sitting on the pavement who were appeared to be ingigenous Australians doing nothing wrong at all getting harrassed by a WHITE woman policeman. Wonderful country that confronts its history. In America now the politicians want to ban history and even say slavery was beneficial.

That would have been your thread suggesting that the world is flat because of "flight routes"

I do not recall that. ANKI is a flashcard study app? I do not recall using it to study Thai. I tried to use it recently to study the LIMITATIONS section for a new airliner I am being trained on.

Did you have to pay premiums, ie we’re wages deducted during your working life as a requirement to be included in the folkepension?

You sound as if you know a lot about the subject. Are there private pensions in the US that pay more you per month if you delay payments, ie start taking them at 70 then 62 regardless when you retired? Pensions that offset your benefit if you have another pension? Are there pensions that pay your wife a benefit after U die for being married to you even if she never worked a day in her life? For me taking it at 62 is not much waiting till 70 seems like plenty to live in Thailand. I'd rather take my chances and take it ASAP knowing I could popp my clogs or even be hit by a bus what "brakes failed" any day now ....

I'm still working. Prt B coverage is a decision for the future which I will base on a plan never setting foot in the Gun/God/Freedumb entity ever again after retirement.

No No, It is not paid on what you paid and worked. I don't wish to hold forth to argumenst over definitions but as explained to me by EXPERTS in the subject of USA retirement and benefit programmes it is more akin to a life assurance product than a pension. I do know a few people who are enrolled to get private pensions in my industry and it sounds great. One problem historically in our industry is company declring bankruptcy and workers lose everything. At least the funds in the 401k/Roth/Medical saving plan are MY monies.

Nice rant. What should I do about it? I never asked for it but as long as I was forced to participate I’ll take my payments. Otherwise please ask Uncle Sam to return my premiums paid with interest.

The PFM installed in BMW "smart cars".

Of course, automatically deducted every month along with other deductions, and a huge chunk of income tax wasted on who knows what. Problem It is not portable internationally after I retire I plan NEVER to go there again !

Some day past reaching 62 I enroll to receive a monthly payment from the GOVERNMENT. I just try to use the proper termoinology just as one does not "renew" one's visa or get a permission to stay stamped in at Chiang Mai airport "customs". "Not a pension" was explained by a so-called retirement and insurance Union subject matter expert in seminar. Some US/state/local govt pensions will reduce social security benefit, military benefits won't, there was a whole railroad retirement scheme. A spouse benefit that is really based on working at all, SSI, etc. Key being private pensions have a set benefit, and don't offset each other or what you receive from Uncle Sam. Yes, a monthly guaranteed check from the US govt is equivalent to a pension for me so all I need to know.

US social security is NOT a pension it is more of a mandatory insurance policy. We can argue over the terminology like everything else and can call it what you want as long as you understand the rules. In my case by the time I had a decent job they had rolled out got these 401k/Roth programs in most of my industry so I will never get a "pension". Deciding to when start taking SS payments is a gamble. Medicare something I'll probably never use. America sucks.

I had the talk with one relative. Maybe many others do not want to be that away far from children and grandchildren either Some silly soul said he would not live anywhere where he could not own a gun Many of the "skels" on America's streets in rags stinking of their own foecal wastes actually have a couple thousand dollars coming in per month. I would think it better to be in a small Thai room anywhere with toilet, cold shower, and fan than frozen to the pavement. Actually some burn on the sidewalks now That would take a plan, and most are too far gone https://news.yahoo.com/people-phoenix-getting-third-degree-182510252.html

Not on a woman’s face.

Because the organs of the Thai govt work at cross purposes. Some want you waiting at immigration hours to pay for 30 days extensions and absurd TM30 processes that accomplish nothing worthwhile
