What choice do they have? Do Thais have the benefit of local GPs that the west has? She did not go to hospital just for a fever, she's an older woman and was diagnosed with Influenza B, not "a fever".

Really, is that a fact? Said who?

It does make sense if you don't deliberately omit the fact that she also registered with a Swedish passport and, presumably, indicated that her bill would be covered using a foreign credit card that she did use.

Thank you.

Why tell them you have been overseas? They ask for an address and with which GP the patient is registered. Many expats who are returning solely for medical NHS treatment can't provide that information.

"Why does she feel she has a right to the "Thai Price"?" Because she is a Thai! If she had been admitted using her Thai ID card the circumstances would have been exactly the same and she would have been billed with the Thai price to which she has a right and she would not be interrogated about whether she had paid taxes here, which you seem to think is relevant.

It makes a difference to potential foreign tourists, as in Chinese. How can the nationality of those killed in that accident affect others of that, or any other, nationality coming here? You're not really trying to say that because there were maybe no Chinese involved, Thailand must be a safer place for Chinese visitors and that if the deaths had been Chinese then Thailand is more dangerous for Chinese visitors, are you?

Clearly. she didn't use Thailand's gold card B30 health service for their nationals.

And the fix for that "unfairness", as you see it, is what? What about the people in the Indian slums who have more than their mates born in the same place?

If they haven't rewritten the law in the last 10 years. I am very confident that they do exist. I was warned about it and later in contact with lawyers. According to them my ex could have had a right to 50% of everything I bought when we were a couple as we had lived together for so many year. I would also have been able to get 50 percent of everything she bought during the same time period. Made a very fast Google and found. "If the cohabiting couple have lived together for a significant period of time and there are titled assets at stake {e.g. land, houses, condominiums] a lawsuit is more a question of “when” not “if.” " https://www.aaacoth.com/living-with-your-thai-girlfriend-cohabitation-family-law-in-thailand/ So, as I suggested, there are no laws covering cohabitation as you claimed there could be. Your link states that a cohabitation agreement would be required to have any rights and any lawsuit would be a civil action, not an action covered by rights.

Aww, please don't go.

BYE, and thank you for being the sad grammar police. Most of the entire thread is about grammar/pronunciation, including your comments! If you think that the thread is "sad", you don't have to try to contribute.

BTW mister Orthography it is bastardized and capitalized If you say so...but it isn't. BTW, "mister" should be capitalised when using it as an honorific.

How "bastardised" do you think your last sentence on this forum, which I have quoted above, is? Nothing bastardised about that sentence but I wouldn't expect you to understand.

Thank you. This was after posting a light hearted video. So how would you describe you post? Worthless, pathetic or plan pointless. "Worthless, pathetic or plan pointless". In this context, I'd describe my post as observational, accurate and sardonic. I'd describe yours, ironically, using the three words you chose even though I have no idea what "plan pointless" [sic] means!

No, the British do not, as a rule. Some do.

As have you bastardised that sentence!

That would not be polite, it would be extremely tactless and rude.

Capitalised. BTW.

"...just posting nonesnse..." [sic] Rather like yourself, then.

If you know the correct use of a dictionary, that could help you.

Hahhahaaa... It's just arduously ironic.

Facts? Oh yes, sorry, those things, nothing important!

Yeah the English have far better food You're right...another man of gastronomic sophistication!

"...the domestic partner laws would give her something". Which laws are those? "...if you are unmarried but living with a Thai partner, your partner may not be entitled to anything at all". https://www.thaicontracts.com/articles/8-thai-law-isn-t-simple/36-foreigners-and-inheritance-in-thailand.html "De-facto informal marriages, common-law marriage or Buddhist marriage or any religious marriage ceremony are not recognized as legal marriages under Thai Civil Law and therefore do not create any legal rights, duties, powers, or responsibilities of husband and wife. Only officially registered marriages entered into the government´s marriage register are recognized as legal and valid marriages in Thailand and will create the rights, duties and responsibilities of husband and wife under Thai family laws". https://www.thaicontracts.com/articles/8-thai-law-isn-t-simple/66-marriage-in-thailand.html#:~:text=De-facto informal marriages%2C common,responsibilities of husband and wife.
