  1. A broker in Udon Thani recently sold me a 12 month health insurance policy with a deductible of 100k. The policy was with Liberty Medical Group. The broker purchased through another broker MSG Brokers in Bangkok. At all times the broker knew I was in possession of a non b visa. The policy wording states the insurance satisfies the Thai Governments Covid Insurance requirements for non A and Special visa. My question is does that insurance cover any claim I may make as a non b visa holder? The broker tells me yes since it is on the proposal form and the insurers accepted me BUT neither the broker or Liberty will confirm in writing that as a non b visa holder I would be covered. Has anyone bought this policy and have they claimed? Was the claim met in full?
  2. The Thaiger ? Standards? Journalism? How can you put those three words in the same sentence?
  3. Why is it always black people who cause trouble wherever they go? Surely there must be some genuinely nice, refined black people who abhor the way their race is being portrayed. Would help if the subject didn't look like a dish mop as well. Clean yourself up !!!
  4. Is there a reason why you always refer to Taksin as “de facto boss cum convict etc. Etc”. Why not just “Former Prime Minister”?
  5. Maybe Doctors should probe the Mental Health of the petitioner. He seems to have a manic insistence and attraction to former Prime Minister Thaksin. It can’t be good for him to suffer this debilitating depression untreated?
  6. Oh dear oh dear, once again stop the scams, stop the rip offs and lock up Fat Jumbo the Phuket Jet Ski scammer. Screen their trials and sentencing live on CNN then maybe confidence will start to recover!
  7. Yet again a damming report on Thai education and standards. They know the answers but they don’t want to hear the answers or look at the proof. In my school one stream taught by natives has 97% proficiency in English whilst the other stream taught by non natives has a 32% ability. What do they do? Stop teaching, introduce activities which have no academic benefit, or educational achievement to bring the stronger team down. Instead of a project on say the Aboriginal art and its meanings my P5 today will be folding 3 pieces of A4 paper to make a Chefs hat! let’s look at the other benefits of native speakers, assuming a school really does want to educate its students. When a native teaches here they earn 25% of their salary in their home country. They spend their salary in Thailand, renting houses, buying cars and motorcycles which they tax and insure. Many meet partners and invest in land and homes benefitting Thai tradesmen and businesses. When an Asian native teaches here they earn 2 - 300% more than their home country. They live 3 or 4 to a room and send most of their money home. They are not motivated by a sense of achievement but purely by money. Standards are down? For sure. Ask yourself, if you lived in London and wanted to learn Thai would you ask a Thai person or a Laos person? Answer that correctly and you have your solution. It’s not too late but it soon will be!
  8. The house of Former Prime Minister General Chan O Cha at 11 infantry barracks might be available.
  9. Is it any wonder when Thailand continues to employ low ability teachers from the Philippines. Their grammar is atrocious and their screeching extended vowel pronunciation is an insult to the language. Ask yourself Thailand that if I wanted to learn Thai in England would I use a Thai teacher or a Laoation?
  10. OK I know I am going to hell for this comment BUT, the one in blue appears unfazed. Obviously due to her ample forward protection !!!
  11. I am sorry but if Russian sex workers?* are operating to service Russian Clientele the prices will be almost out of reach for the general sexpat. One has only to remember the Russian Clubs on Walking Street to get an idea of increased costs. * I was once told by a reliable Russian Film Official that we couldn't use Russian Girls as prostitutes as there are no Russian prostitutes, just Ukrainian ones. Apparently you can tell by their faces, round chubby and with small rodent like teeth, Russian, Long horse like face with big teeth Ukrainian. He was 100% serious on this I kid you not.
  12. Before rushing off to their usual junctions and haunts to catch Falang with no helmets etc. Did he mention anything about when the new receipt books would arrive or if the online payment portal would soon be “fixed”.
  13. Heaven forbid the British Embassy do anything useful. The embassy is there purely for Tiffin you know.
