Liverpool Lou

The regulation already applies to all expats with UK bank accounts who are not UK residents.

Oh.

Did you see the word"real"? Yes, I did, it's not travel insurance of any description, "real" or otherwise, it's (real) accident insurance, two very different policies.

Perhaps you should wait until the legislation is law before you make fake bookings to a country were the fee isn't yet law? When it is law, perhaps the questions will be added.

Who knows, it is not even law yet.

All illnesses will be excluded, the proposed cover is for accidents, not health/illness.

It's not "travel" insurance, it's accident insurance in the proposal.

It's proposed to be accident insurance, not "sickness" insurance. Accident insurance covers medical expenses incurred as a result of an accident, that's all. It will be for 30 days cover, as the OP stated and for arrivals by air, as the OP very clearly stated.

That's why it is referred to as accident insurance, not health insurance, two completely different types of policy. No one's going to get health insurance for B300!

C'mon, you're doing that "sensible" thing, this is Thaivisa, it won't go down well with the usual suspects!

Great idea, why not risk not being allowed to board the flight?

Is your spouse a foreigner in Thailand?... "The planned 300-baht tourism fee is now expected to apply to all foreigners..."

Perhaps her parents/family/friends should have warned her about the stupidity of illegal online gambling before it got as far as it did?

No different from Top's, Robinson's or McDonald's way of naming businesses.

Did you not read the whole OP? "Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt told Thai PBS that he understands the SRT’s concerns, adding that he will try to find a new location for the screening..."

Learning not to click. But don’t rush into that. Start with learning not to respond. Then you won’t get fatuous comments like this one. That has no relevance to my question to the OP.

How about getting an international money order in your own country and posting it EMS?

Jesus Christ...you think that clicking on your posts is a crucial part of the learning process? Which "learning process"?

I'm pretty sure that's not true.

This is all getting very childish and argumentative! Well, who started it?!... "You know what they say about sarcasm - the lowest form of wit - you being a Scouser should understand that!"

What's so "interesting" about it, why should you have access to something that you haven't paid for and for which the driver is responsible for collecting payment for? COD is not an option to reject an item before paying for it anywhere.

By the same logic, i.e. none, your name should be "Little Sambum", like it or not! Assume what you like from my name here but why not assume that I'm a singer or that I played in Blind Faith's opening act in 1969?

It does in most countries but only if they are 6 months or less in age So what? Oher countries' Customs laws are 100% irrelevant here.

My you are very stubborn. Post that statement from Lazada. Has anyone on this forum ever paid 1 baht for VAT and import duties on Lazada purchases? Step up. No, I'm not being stubborn, I'm responding because I'm correct. "Stubborn" suggests that there is evidence that I'm wrong, there isn't and I'm not. You're the one that made the initial claim that all Lazada purchases are duty/VAT exempt, not me, so it's you that has the obligation to "step up" and justify your claim. My proving a negative by providing evidence for something that does not exist is not the way it works. Nowhere on Lazada's site does it state that all oversea purchases are free of taxes. If that was the case it would be splashed all over their site as something no other site could offer and a huge benefit to buyers...but, oddly, it isn't. Just because a Lazada item is not selected for examination coming into the country does not mean that it's duty exempt, Thai Customs are not able to check every item coming in by post.

You think that there is only one Liverpool? Do you also think that analysing forum names makes any sense, sambum?!
