Is Accident Insurance a Requirement in Thailand
BKKKevin replied to CharlieH's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
Check out Roojai.com for Accident Insurance… They sell a small benefit accident policy that can also include motorcycle… The benefit is only 100 or 200,000 baht (This is NOT catastrophic insurance) but the premiums are only a few thousand baht for a years coverage and you can apply online without needing to speak to a salesperson… Again the coverage is relatively small but you have at least a minimum coverage that any Thai hospital will recognize… So the hospital you go to is put on notice that any charges will be reviewed but a Thai insurance carrier… Also Roojai will persue an at fault party to pay your medical bills on your behalf… This will prevent price gouging by the hospital and make other at fault parties pay before you... And this small amount will cover many of the little accidents that most people end up in an emergency room for… -
Right now a 10 year US Treasuries give you a 4.5% return… That translates to about 15,000 baht/month for your $125k… My bet is any ~$4 million baht condo you find to buy will rent for less than 15,000 baht/month…

Most buildings have rentals available… I would rent in a building before buying… You can see if you really like the building and neighborhood… While renting you also get to scope out all the units available for sale and most likely get a better deal… Remember it’s easy to buy but not so easy to sell…

What the hell am I going to do?" … "Well first were going to check your hearing" - Bette Midler

You’ll blindly follow a man who won’t show you his tax returns, won’t show you his medical records, wont show you his college grades, wont show you his replacement for ObamaCare, won’t show you his tariff math, won’t return national security documents, won’t do interviews or debates and you are clutching at your pearls because she hasn’t produced her W2s from 1982!?… -

Foreign 'Mafia' Harass Tourists in Pattaya, Taunt Local Police
BKKKevin replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Many Thais look apon panhandling that is brought to the authorities to no avail as most likely a mafia activity... I can recall a TV Bangkok expose 10-15 years ago of horribly disabled and blind individuals being carted around popular venues and left on the sidewalk in the hot sun to accept donations in a bowl... Only the be collected at the end of the day and have all the money taken from them... I recall walking past them at Central World and my Thai partner admonishing me for dropping money in his bowl... -
