  1. I am just surprised of the pictures above. How old are they, to show soo much people? Must be far pre-covid.
  2. Call the police! (Beeep......beeeeep......beeeeep.......beeeeep. Sorry, the number you are calling is not available at the moment)
  3. You are so far off the reality chart, so it makes it hard to know where to start. First, you must understand that we are in Thailand and talking about Thai hospitals. You can not, just walk out of a hospital without paying. Especially not regarding such amounts. You will either be stopped and police will be involved or you will be prohibited to leave the country. This is not American, French or Swedish laws. Here they rely on the Thai law. That one and some regulations says they are obligated to treat Thai citizens, but not uninsured foreigners. You have confused it all with the thing that says doctors are sworn to save life. That is true, and that is why they are giving him treatment and doing what they can to save him, despite they are aware he can´t pay at the moment. That does not mean he can avoid paying. That does not mean, he will have protection from the law if he tell them to stick it and try to walk away without paying for his treatment. As he have left the security of his home country without a travel insurance, he will automatically put himself in the position as the person who must pay or raise as well as call somebody to pay his debt. Responsibility in hospitals in this country is very low. Just take when a child is born. Directly the nurse comes with a book, where you have to sign you take the responsibility for the child for the next 2-3 days in hospital. Have own experience from 2 times. However, rather irrelevant, as it had to do with the payment. Regarding the payment, we can take American hospitals as an example. They are obligated to treat and save the life of an uninsured person. However, many will ask for payment up front, which you can refuse, and they still have to save the person. That, however will not mean they will not charge you. Due to the financial system in most countries, the hospital will also let you go but mostly that is done with their citizens and harder to do with tourists. The reason why they can let an uninsured person go home, is that they have bill sending systems, credit check systems and much more developed systems for payments and economy. Thailand do not have good systems for this, and therefore they will keep a person in hospital or in the country until the bill has been fully paid. As there are not many foreigners that get into these problems compared to hospitals, there are no hordes of people dying in hospital foyers. The reason for that is the hospitals are full with sick people that are on the 30 baht scheme.
  4. Sure, it would be Bank of Ayutthaya, or Krung Sri, if you wish. However, a very stupid place to put an ATM machine.
  5. Sure Thing, Dude! What about all idiots that bought when it reached 50k and believed it would go to 100k? Okay, now up above 37k again. Still a stupid way to play with money.
  6. In my opinion, that ATM does not seem to be put there by any bank. Must be one of the third party machines. I would never trust an ATM that was placed in such position.
  7. I can´t see the problem. If you wish to move your consumer unit, would it not be easier to take out incoming cables for that unit one by one and put a cable connector on each one? Move the unit and plug the cables back one by one again?
  8. Hmmm.... I wonder where they get their information from, if they do not use leading economists?
  9. Yes it does! Just some foreigner in Thailand that wish to look at the bad things and set up a new meaning of a word for it.
  10. Ok, hmmmm... the problem here was that this is a Thai forum. Do you get it now?
  11. Please try to develop that into common sense. What do you mean?
  12. It means, that it is harder to open bank accounts now. I am not laughing
  13. Look at it this way. Men are the ones who wants underage sex. Otherwise there would be no need for older woman, to traffic too young girls. Do you feel like a man now?
  14. Ok, but this is not a move to attract that kind of people
  15. No, not new at all. However, you might need to check the real meaning of the word.
  16. Like you said, you have never been in a pub/bar. That might explain your ignorance regarding your comment "Get a life". If you never had experience of one, how can you know that people visiting do not have a life? On the other hand, you are perfectly right, when you posted that you do not know.
  17. Yes, that sounds more like it. Just got a little bit confused when reading.
  18. Seems like the perfect father. Not care about the daughter at all. Now smell money and want compensation.
  19. So, she fell out of the first floor? Is that correct?
  20. Thought everybody knew that crime free cities are just an illusion.
  21. Yeah, they sure now how their country men behave.
