BP tablets are only one or two baht each and they could save your life or stop you having a stroke. Why mess with that?

 

 

makro sells cheap frozen large packs of strawberries or blueberries or some mixed fruit which can be blended for healthy fruitshakes. absolutely no harm done.

OP. Have you now got your “under consideration” Covid Extention Stamp ? YES or NO.

This accident was, as I recall from 1980, attributed to someone using a primus stove at the back of the passenger cabin to cook his supper (the pilgrims get hungry during Ramadan).  The account in Wiki says this was never proved.  At any rate, all lives were lost after the plane caught fire....

A hair-raising tale, one which should encourage all travellers to stay away from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

NEVER Fly with uncivilized country airlines.assume Unsafe or Problematic. use only airlines from advanced nations, ideally with western pilots only. assume other pilots have no clue in emergencies. even then check Airline Approval, Safety & Performance via FAA website.Example:Etihad / Sing YES Saudia or PIA or Air India:  NO.

Even then no guarantees. Lufthansa delayed my FRA- BKK flight for 12 hours,handled like a routine two hour delay. Insisted they put me on their SING flight instead. no extra cost. assumed this a one off, its LH right, er….no, six weeks later SAME scenario……..

I recently changed to WRLIfe as they now have a Bangkok office.  I can't speak for their pre-existing conditions policy, although it looked fine to me (I had kidney stones 25 years ago) but one benefit they offer is that Premiums are fixed (forever) if you don't make a claim.

Nice to see such a refreshing attitude to women, relating a human to cost. How enlightened.

Quite. However realistically finding a 45 kg grown UK woman would be literally impossible. they probably start at 70 kg. with the std. chicken bucket diet. now an “attractive” UK 30 year old…… quite hard. and that isn’t an apartment…more of a shoebox.

but for Journalism ( very rare to see that these days) it’s the Pullitzer Prize ( probably unawarded since 1995…). Nobel Prizes are for Peace, Science, Literature and Economics I think ……????

Beer lao dark is only 49 baht now in Tops, where do they get 149 baht from for a small bottle? one or two imports maybe.

paid exactly that bkk av. price at a live rock music venue yesterday in Patong !

but wait, it wasnt just the beer I was paying for, was it …… same with having a Singha at a five star tropical hotel rooftop bar…. gonna be more than 711’s 29 baht now isn’t it…..not just buying beer to drink in the street or at home are we …..and that 5 star bar will be a way better experience than having that beer in Blackpool……..the obvious “added value” concept has somewhat evaded the article writer…….

Ernesto Rafael Guevara de la Serna. Not Che. Not sure about the link here though. Being a Marxist doesn't automatically mean you're a revolutionay. It's a political point of view.

an utterly discredited “point of view”, compelling, reducing & levelling down humans by force & fear. hundred & fifty million dead, just between 1920-1960….. and counting. clearly doesn’t work in any positive manner. gave rise to Fascism & so WW2 …..and the murderous nuclear regimes in Russia, North Korea & China today…

Corbyn & his Momentum “Labour” mates make a good living from it though….this dead thai guy clearly an embryonic Pol Pot type maniac.. “ I coulda been a contender”…..until collecting his early deserved “punch in the face”.surely “honoured” only by Marxist fellow travellers or useful idiots.

Immi will treat him most favourably I believe. Immi wont want the bad publicity from treating a dying foreigner badly. they cant in any way jail (sick), fine (broke), deport ( expensive for Immi) or ban ( bad publicity) him. but yes he needs to declare and secure these Immi written concessions via (free ?) lawyer, perhaps lawyer suggested by his Embassy.

Know one complex Immi case with expired passport  from failed state unrenewable except by return there but covid & safety restraints so Immi aware but just turned a “blind eye” leaving the guy staying here indefinitely.

1Nov: all tourist areas inc.pattaya, bkk & phuket OPEN by Govt Decree, to vaxxed tourists.

just back from Phuket Patong Bangla Road. its jumping….. no nightclubs but alcohol, girls, bars, live music, masks optional. no coppers, small crowds….. but pattaya different ……

If you officially declare yourself as being on overstay (=surrender to police), immigration police would have to arrest you and send you to IDC to have you deported.

Luckily immigration is lazy, and in this case they would simply tell the person to head to the airport and leave Thailand, without making it official.

Your advice is just wrong, and OP's friend could potentially end up in IDC where he might die considering his condition. Stop giving such bad advice.

you have not been paying attention. recommending lawyer is hardly bad advice. police surrender is your daft idea.just leave at the airport ? with 400 day overstay ? without arrest / jail / deportation/ five year ban ? if that’s possible, everybody could overstay as no need for visa extentions, reporting or any local immigration at all. stop talking nonsense.

He go to jail every other place than in airport when leave Thailand. He is overstay no lawyer can chance that. He need get out of country and pay fine in airport and he going to get entering ban also coz so long overstay IMO

chance what ? leave country how ? max. allowed fine covers 40 days overstay. he’s around 400 days.

jail possible for even one day overstay. well - connected lawyer required.
