Belgian Man Claims Thai Hospital Detention Over Unpaid Bill
Where are all the "this is why you have insurance" folks??? They will do anything to get out of paying. Between requiring "preauthorization" for everything to just downright denying necessary care after the fact.

Anyone else had rude medical receptionist?
How does one go about getting a personal doctor here? Has always seemed to me you just show up at hospitals for everything and see specialists etc. But difficult to build a relationship/history with anyone.

Win Big in Thailand: Foreigners Welcome to Try Their Luck in the Lottery
based on the replies in here maybe they really do need to increase the immigration standards. That's 185k usd, not even worth a blurb in the newspaper.

Question for US Citizen with US-based Charles Schwab Account
If you are here (or anywhere overseas) long term, I recommend a mail forwarding service. Personally I use Traveling Mailbox and its been great, but there are many registered commercial mail services. I use it with Schwab as my mailing and then have them forward it on. Has saved lots of headaches over the years. Alternatively, as others have mentioned, I would probably just give them a call and say you are overseas for 3 months and need a new card etc. They will likely send it. As for the phone, I transferred my verizon number to google voice for like a 25 dollar one time fee, and now have google voice with a real US number, free forever. Works with with Schwab and Chase and most credit card companies in terms of getting codes etc. Difficult to set-up while overseas, but worthwhile on a trip back.
