And i reckon that is because a lot of them didn't bother to get the insurance before they became aging.

If it all were on the up-&-up, there would be a FLEXIBILITY window at your local immigration office and you would pay your 15.,000 baht or so and get a receipt for your extension. No need for setting up a plausible deniability scenario.

If some people can choose to live their lives rationalizing that paying a bribe is ok, I no longer let it bother me. I remember years back, saying that I had just come back from Bangkok to get a US Embassy income letter, and some guy smugly saying "Oh I just pay an agent" and, not saying a word, but getting up and leaving with a thanks to my host.

But don't forget as per Police Order it is either 3 OR 4:

Where to meet Hiso Thai women? First class lounges domestic or international at Suvarnabhumi.

When I first moved full-time to Thailand, I used to hang out a bit at a nearby bar-farang. The guys there were often with their 'significant others' and used to ask me, why my girlfriend never comes? . I asked her why not? She said I don't want to listen to you talking in English which I don't understand. I said you can hang out with the other girls/women there. She then said most emphatically: I will chooser MY OWN friends, thank you very much!

I have had private medical insurance while living in Thailand since 2004. I will call my total claims paid versus total premiums paid close to a break-even.

Has there ever been any further information as to what was this dispute as in item 2 c. Metro UK report to reprieve.org ? (c. Mr. Miller being involved in a dispute with certain persons on the island of Koh Phangan)

I don't know -- I have never used a broker in Thailand or USofA. Always direct.

Why? He has a 3,000 USD deductible so the pinch of salt likely would not be covered.

'Never did get to eat it.

I once traveled from Burlington VT to Orlando FL with a change of planes . I brought a container of hummus for a lunch during the layover. TSA confiscated in VT. YMMV.

It seems some still haven't gotten the message KohTaopubcrawl.com 1FEB2023

From NYTimes Paywall April 11, 2022 'Cheap as Chips’ No Longer True in U.K. as Prices Soar for a Favorite Meal The costs for fish and chips, a working-class staple in Britain for well over a century, have rocketed as the war in Ukraine has made the main ingredients scarcer. Of 10,000 shops, 3,000 may close. HARTLEPOOL, England — When it opened in 2020, business was booming at Chunks, a store serving dozens of portions each day of Britain’s best known takeout meal: battered and deep-fried cod with fries, or chips as they are known here. But even before the war in Ukraine further pushed up the shop’s bills for energy, fish and cooking oil, inflation had already forced the owners, Sayward and Michael Lewis, to raise their prices twice. Now, with another spike in prices driving away customers, Chunks is on the brink of failing.

Hello Simon -- Let's hope the limeys treat you better than did the frogs. From a septic.

Well OK but from USA is a bit different -- I have tried it several times and not pleased with the results.

Well OK but filling up my carry-on with 5-10 kilos of cheese is not top of my list as to what goes in my carryon for long international flights. I once had to spend 3 days at LAX airport (one night literally in the terminal and 2 nights at nearby hotels courtesy of the airline) due to flight delays and cancellations and all I had -- as I had already checked in 2 large duffel bags -- was what was in my carryon.

As with a post above, most hotel fridges would not hold 5-10 kilos of cheese. I remember, once in USA 5 - 10 years ago, having the branded container of hummus I had just bought for a carry-on lunch confiscated by the TSA before a domestic flight.

Effective Altruism -- just ask that SB-F guy.

I have found that -- as it may be 30 hours without refrigeration door-to-door -- that the oil in high quality cheeses begins to separate. And when frozen, the texture is never the same. So I have at times brought in this shelf-stable staple for Mexican-style cooking:

Well OK but, for me, it's another turn with my wife almost half my age.

Let my father-in-law handle it -- retired last year after 40 years with RTP.

From: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/prostate-enlargement/ Many men worry that having an enlarged prostate means they have an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. This is not the case. The risk of prostate cancer is no greater for men with an enlarged prostate than it is for men without an enlarged prostate.

Well I was just offering a hypothetical. However this all gets back to the problem for many expats here in the Kingdom that they initiate medical coverage as an expat when they are +/- 60 instead of +/- 35.
