Liverpool Lou

IYO as always nitpicker Lou. No, that's not my opinion, I'm separating fact from opinion and that is not "nitpicking", everything in my comment is factual.

So what? This is Thailand.

It does when a tourist hires a "Moped" thinking they are covered by there insurance, when in fact they hired a 125 motorbike. they are NOT MOPEDS ! For the purposes of this thread it does not matter. But, in the context of your point, all the tourist would have to do was to check the cover that his policy provides first, before renting a bike, moped or whatever. How the UK rag, the Daily Mirror, describes the bike in the story that they pay for is irrelevant!.

Dozens? Wow, what a hit Thailand stands to take.

"...IMCOMPADANCE..." Oh, the irony, the 'kin irony. [Edit] And the irony is compounded by the "confused" emojis! Does anyone know what (1) "Irony" means and, (2) what "Imcompadance" means?!

Which countries do not stamp a permission to stay date in foreigner visitors passports or provide a notification of the validity of stay until date?

And that's what I said but maybe you didn't read. Yes, I can read, I can also read the implication in your comment which was suggesting that there are exclusions that are not made clear to policy holders and are then used to deny claims. If I misinterpreted your comment, my apologies.

Wasn't the robbery the dumba$$ part?

Doesn't matter.

You're right, it's not worth a carrot, because it sounds as thought the policy holder voided it!

It's in the link to the OP.

Come on, come on, that can't be true, Asean Now naysaying posters know much more about the insurance and medical industry than anyone with personal experience or actual knowledge of those industries!

Garbage.

Nope, I just know how they operate. Everyone thinks they're covered for everything when in reality they have exclusions and exception to many things. "Nope, I just know how they operate". Obviously, you do not. "...in reality they have exclusions..." Of course, they do, and they are all laid out in the policy documents that the insurer supplies to the insured to read.

Just goes to show how utterly ignorant some people are about Thai medical personnels' expertise.

Why would that be the case? It's safe to assume that he has read his policy and know what cover he has and that it is not travel insurance.

But, presumably, your insurance is not travel insurance.

Only as long as an airline accepts the patient (not all do) but the changes it mat have to make to accommodate him and the medical escorts gets expensive.

Presumably that's due to the expertise of the surgeon or the site of the operation not being visible from the photo.

What are all the other tourist taxes ("yet another") you're referring to?

No, it hasn't, not yet but, even if it is put into force, it has not been stated to be insurance coverage to repatriate foreign ICU patients.

No, that's not what I said about this accident. Read my comment again for a full understanding of what I actually, very clearly, posted.

Insurers are, in fact, in the business of paying out as the industry's statistics for legitimate claims prove. Over 80% of travel insurance claims are paid by insurers. They are not, of course, in the business of charitable payments for policy holders who void their own policies and then cry about it with the support of those who do not know what they are talking about.

Just because it is not publicly shown on the Interpol website doesn't mean that it has "disappeared", there are thousands that are not made available to the public...they don't all need to be.

Where did I mention Thailand. You didn't need to, she was in Thailand, sent here by her family, so where else would she be getting married by arrangement?
