So everyone bar you has the opinion that this is not your normal season due to the effects of Covid.

Of course it's not normal due to covid, but we were discussing you stating it was a  weird season due to unusual scores.

It will probably level off but you can't deny it's been pretty weird to date. One example, almost relegated team 7 vs 2 champions - that kind of thing happen during normal seasons? NO it doesn't.

So 4 or 5 high scoring games with Liverpool being on the end of one of them makes it a weird season (when we are not even a quarter of the way through the season ) ? it's not like sh*t teams are at the top of the table and decent teams are in the relegation positions, now that would be weird.

When Mourinho was at ManU there were lots on the footie forum criticising his ability. His record and his ability for me is without question, he might not be the special one but he's a top manager. One of the most impressive things for me was when he subbed Joe Cole and SWP after only 26 minutes of a 1-0 Chelsea defeat at Fulham in March 2006 - i get sick of watching managers waiting, trusting their players until the 60-70th minutes, when it's too late to affect a match. If it ain't working early doors, sometimes you have change it.

 

He's doing a decent job at Spurs and he'll have no better chance than this weird season to finally land a trophy for Spurs.

 

Why is it a weird season ? 4 of the teams you'd expect to be in the top 6 or 7 are in the top 4 places and no doubt some of the other top teams will find there way into the top 6 or are you calling it is weird because City aren't in the top 6 ?

Bit confused ! first you say "Macro arrived to excavate footing holes" (confirmed by picture) you then say "They then took the first piling and using the macro tried to sink it down to bedrock" I.e.2 different methods,  so what is the method  to be used as per the drawings ?

Contrary to many banks who use their own exchange rate when transferring your funds, on top of the service fee they charge for this, and the possible handling fee from the receiving bank, TransferWise uses the mid-exchange rate which is the ACTUAL exchange-rate and only charges a service fee (% of the transaction on a gliding scale for larger amounts).

As they do not actually send the money, but have arrangements with 3 Thai banks to transfer the money to your Thai bank-account, there is also no domestic transfer fee.

In most cases - and surely for smaller transfers, say 1.000 to 3.000 Euro, you will get more THB for your Euro than any other transfer method, and on top of that the process is fully transparent (you will know beforehand EXACTLY how much THB you will get on your Thai bank-account) and very fast (between minutes and max 1-2 working days).

You are still in the acute (though post-viremic) phase. At that stage, supportive care alone (e.g. paracetemol and NSAIDs) can suffice unless they are insuifficient to control symptoms at which poibnt you shopuld see a rehumatologist re possibel addition of a steroid.

 

If it continues beyond the 3 month mark then other meds would be indicated and should definitely see a rheumatologist.

 

good article here though rather technical  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6771335/

Thank you.

Virus started on the 25th July with extreme joint pain but not lasting too long and was only tested for Denge at that time. Arithritis pain in joints started at the beginning of Sept and was recently tested for  Chikungunya virus ab IGG anti-bodies of which the level was 1:160.

Doctor has said there's not a lot can be done and just have to let it takes it's course, so are you suggesting Sheryl that i see a Rhematologist ?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Just been told that i have the above due to previously having the Chikungunya virus, anyone have experience of this, length of time etc.

Joe Hart is set to join Tottenham on a free transfer

His confidence really seemed knocked by Pep who got rid of him because he couldn't use his feet, the funny thing is he then bought Bravo who couldn't use his hands !

The big thing about health insurance for expats is that the insurance companies could and do take your money for years, and in a lot of cases people having no or very little claims, then they will tell you when you reach a certain age that you are too old and we won't insure you any more.

You are then left with no insurance at all, I blame the soldiers government for this for allowing this to happen, as the OP says, they should have an insurance for us, probably through a government hospital scheme for a fair price and none of this stopping insurance because we are "too old".

To be fair it works both ways, you could have a large claim of say 5m baht after 3 yrs and paying approx 100,000 baht in premiums and the following year cancel your policy, the Insurance company are out of pocket to the tune of 4.9m baht, can they then say no no no you have to keep paying your policy until we get our 4.9m baht back ?

Well they must have troubled him twice !

The gym i go to has been open since Sunday as per the Govt instruction.

Why don't they just test the 69 people rather than monitoring them ?

And nobody knows just how many asymptomatic cases are wandering around in Thailand, thanks to the non-existent testing of the general public. Stay home, stay safe.

Never going to be able to test enough people to make a difference, even testing 60,000 per day would take nearly 3 years to test the whole popualtion and the day after people are tested they would need testing again, pie in the shy stuff.

Hardly surprising if they're doing 8 customers a day.

But how many years can they keep that up for?

 

When I first came to Thailand (10 years back) my first live in gf had been (was?) charging 40,000bht for a weekend to guys in 5* hotels.

And she had at least one famous movie star as a customer, she was still behind in her mortgage repayments (7k/month).

Now she's a chubby 42 year old housewife married to an elderly Dutch guy and running a guesthouse.

And she gave all that up for you, come on now ????

This is a very high price for surgery of sciatica.

(It is not high compared to prices in  the US where they charge 150000 USD for a broken leg.)

It seems very high compared to prices in Western Europe. There are many excellent spine surgeons in Western Europe and if that's where you are from I would think about it

Yes that price seems to be the top end of having the op done privately in the UK, which is where she is from, probably have to have a re-think !

My mother has recently had a consultation with Dr Wicharn re a sciatia problem she has had for years and having surgery in the UK 5 years ago that wasn't a success.

Dr Wicharn has recommended further surgery which he thinks should cure the problem (3 hr surgery) with a price of 600-650,000 baht, didn't think it would be that expensice but perhaps thats me being naive, any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Like Sheryl said: very poor value for money. 

Young Thais will buy an insurance who might pay for a nice room or some outpatient health check ups.

Really important is: the insurer cannot terminate the policy (no yearly extensions,  no end when you are 70) and the coverage is as high as possible. Should be unlimited. 

People need health insurance when they are over 60 and the really costly diseases start. So if the insurance can kick you out as soon as you get expensive - forget it. 

If you buy insurance now,  when you are 25, the coverage usually will not increase. But you will need it in 40 years, not now.  Look at the development of health care prices in Thailand in the least 40 years - they have increased maybe 100fold. Don't think a coverage of 20 million baht will be worth much in 40 years. 

Premiums, of course, must be accordingly high. Don't expect a good lifelong health insurance for much less than 10000 baht per month. 

 

Krung Thai Axa used to offer pretty much the only insurance with good value for money. That was 2 years ago, I didn't follow up on it.

 

If you want health insurance for just this year or just five years, i refer once again to Sheryl, no good value for money. The premium is much too high for the risks covered. Better buy accident insurance or use a credit card.

But you still haven't explained why Health insurance policies available to Thais are usually pretty useless ? for your info my daughter is covered for 5m bht, so surely she would get more than a nice room or are you saying that she wouldn't ?

10 minutes ago, uhuh said:

Correct. 

Many Thais don't like the public system,  though. Sometimes for good reasons (the public hospital at their location may be really bad - but better check if there is a private hospital available and if the private hospital is any better).

But the health insurance policies available to Thais are usually completely useless.

Can you elaborate on that as my Thai step daughter has Health ins with Pacific Cross.
