Doesn't seem as though he's looking for the "best"!

Nonsense if he wasn't physically working in the company. Being a shareholder in a company on its own does not require a WP

Kenny202,makes some important points--I am not sure why the majority here feel you (or all Farangs) should just give in these situations. I have seen people walk away from their life saving , saying I am a farang so I will loose. The Thai legal system works on trying to find common ground amongst litigants (a compromise) very few reach the court stage. The first stage of compromise is at the police station. Questions to the girl--could you show us where you withdrew from your Bank or borrowed the money from to buy all these bikes? etc will be asked. In front of Authority Thai's do not lie well. If a compromise cannot be reached there (I am sure it will be in your case) then goes to an adjudicator (I have been through all this a few times & watched friends cases also) you can call witnesses in for this --like the place where you brought the bikes/people who know of the situation, I would be fairly certain she would call no one in, because, expecting a "Lower Level" Thai to stand up in that situation and lie for a friend over this--no. The adjudicator then makes a Non Binding decision on who is in the right, he then usually gives a certain amount of days for you both to meet and make a comprise. If still no compromise then it goes to civil court--this happens very few times- but with his decisions already stated. The onus is really on the other person to agree. On the situation of you "Helping" out around the work place.... yes you shouldn't do that, But you didn't fall time work-just helped out. The whole idea was that you would purchase the bikes etc in her name, & she would run the place for a % of the profits until you both got married. However you kept seeing discrepancies in the money being taken which led to arguments and her leaving and now using these threat about ownership What? where did you get all that from...how come you "know" so much about the circumstances?

Perhaps because he hasn't been back with any clarifying detail that would provide a basis for any other reaction.

Actually, we created a motorbike rental business. She owned the business, and I helped create the business. Really? So you're the OP now...operating multiple accounts?

No, he does not, owning (part-owning) a company does not require a work permit. Where did he say that he is working in the company such that he requires a WP?

You cannot do anything as you have no bikes, what makes you think that you could be able to get her bikes? Whose bukes are you claiming she is stealing...are there others not registered in her name?

What makes you think that is the case?

There's more to Asean than just Thailand.

Maybe one day someone will invent "the internet" and you'll be able to find out.

"Can anyone identify this spider?" Looks like Incy Wincy.

I thought I said I cant find the comment. I will look again. Or maybe I wont or cant be bothered, but its there somewhere on a page in a large document. "...its there somewhere...". I doubt it but if you can post that only local government hospitals can be used for treatment I will humbly apologise. Insurers usually limit their liability in terms of maximum monetary claim levels, not where the treatment takes place.

I did ! But did you fib a little?!

Why should that be an issue when you have 16 weeks to return the completed Life Cert? I posted mine by registered mail on the 2nd February and it was delivered to the IPC/DWP on the 13th...that's 11 days, at least 13 weeks leeway.

I'm not sure what point you're making. Do you think this is in some way contrary to what I said? Not exactly, just adding a comment but some people would think that you were heading in that direction!

It's to do with ethics and the potential of being sued for fraud.

I am surprised that you, as the so called "expert" on here does not know about the limit on using private hospitals without prior agreement with the insurance company. I enclose a screenshot from the t&c of a well known UK insurance company. it clearly states its not for use for private treatment. Although I am able to find it, somewhere else in the document it states only government hospitals unless prior agreement is obtained. I'm surprised that you didn't read your own link before commenting on her expertise. That extract does not state that treatment in private hospitals, as opposed to government hospitals, is not covered.

Thank God for a rational comment on this subject, at last! Perhaps you could point it out to all those who are posting false and misleading information about it?

Actually we don't know if their insurance is from a UK company, could have been from elsewhere. Actually, the chances of the policy not having been sold in the UK is remote.

Yes, I know that.

Does your country (or any country) cover its citizens' uninsured medical costs when they're overseas? If not, why not?

Today's date is 28th February, I think.

Getting a report translated from Thai to English would be no issue whatsoever to an insurer.

Which "scam" is being perpetrated by the hospital he is in?

Nonsense, insurers in general will never have any issue with a legitimate claim, they have no need to as their risks are insured also.
