Grab drivers constantly asking us to cancel
Liverpool Lou replied to DonniePeverley's topic in Bangkok
Why do your posts seem to always be there to put down the foreigner? Instead of being about the OP? That's just your interpretation of my comments...an inaccurate interpretation. This is a forum, I can comment about whatever I want in whichever manner I want to and do not have to justify it to any other posters who do not approve of my observations or opinions. -

..of their illegal, unlicenced service in Thailand, as it was at the time. -

Really? My not being familiar the ride hailing apps (as the normal Bangkok taxis are more than good enough on most occasions), if that is the case, how are they able to quote a fare (that the customer has to agree to to make the booking) if the destination is not known? Are you saying that the drivers never know the destination of the fare that they are accepting? -

"...Knowing the mentality of Taxi drivers...". Knowing the mentality of "some foreigners", that you specifically described very knowledgeably, you seem to play a game of booking a taxi knowing that they will want to cancel and then not taking it when it does turn up. -

Why? Why would you wait for the taxi you booked to turn up for you, watch it waiting and not use it? Surely you're abusing the system (unless you didn't describe the circumstances accurately)? -

"...rarely anyone using a meter...". Completely false, taxis using meters are the norm across the capital, those not using them in very specific areas/times are the minority. I used four taxis yesterday in Bangkok, as I do regularly, two from lower Sukhumvit, with no suggestion that the meters wouldn't be used. -
"In what sense are these "illegal" imports". Illegal in terms of protected IP rights, FTAs are irrelevant. The point is that they do benefit from copyright legislation according to the reports.

IP infringement.

You mean that illegal pork that has been the subject of highly publicised raids, searches, confiscation and arrests?

But they do care about illegal counterfeit Rolex watches, that's why they are illegal, usually not on display except as pictures and sellers are arrested when found and their products destroyed.

I know 2 One was imprisoned and had to pay 1 million IN CASH bail. The other one was taken to jail while his family had to collect over hundred thousand Baht compensation... Just because YOU don't know of it happening, it doesn't mean it doesn't happen! You'll need to provide something empirical if you expect your anecdotal tale as your response to be taken seriously. Just because you claim that it happened, without any evidence to back it up, doesn't mean that it did!

Statistics for Health Insurance payouts?
Liverpool Lou replied to JeffersLos's topic in Insurance in Thailand
Section 865 of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code actually bars an insurer from voiding an insurance policy for non-disclosure after five years have elapsed from the time of inception of the contract. "Section 865. If at the time of making the contract, the assured, or, in case of insurance on life, the person upon whose life or death the payment of the sum payable depends, knowingly omits to disclose facts which would have induced the insurer to raise the premium or to refuse to enter into the contract, or knowingly makes false statements in regard to such facts, the contract is voidable. If such right of avoidance is not exercised within one month from the time when the insurer has knowledge of the ground of avoidance, or within five years from the date of the contract, such right is extinguished." There's a big difference between voiding an insurance contract and simply denying a claim on a valid contract because of non-disclosure of pre-existing conditions. -

Health insurance companies most likely won't refuse to pay customers with them for fifteen years if their claims are legitimate and covered by the policy! The length of time that they've been policyholders is irrelevant to the claim unless there's a specific exclusion for early claims. -

What are you basing that on?
