  1. What is the fraud? Did he fake shattering his pelvis?
  2. 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.
  3. And yet China the only foreign country influencing and running amok in LOS isn't mentioned. Wonder who paid for the protest?
  4. 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.
  5. Exactly, Thais and <removed> patients moan, but taxes/duty/etc is exponentially higher trying to bring things into Thailand.
  6. What is Expat shops? Is it a Pattaya thing?
  7. Willing to bet neither you, nor 99% of expats or travellers, or even Thais, knew "scrub typhus" prior to reading this article.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. And the safe limit was always 20 andonly increased because of China never being able to get close. China raised it to 50. Any particles below 2.5 is dangerous and get into the cardiovascular/pulmonary system.
  11. Is Singapore a “Vegas of SE Asia” with bad vibes and half the population hustling scams? They have two massive casinos. Did Nagaworld turn Phnom Penh into “Vegas”?….. A couple casinos in Thailand won’t have any effect on you.
