Do you think Air Travel is safe these days?
Of course it's safe as long as you don't fly over a war zone and fly with companies with weird names like Jeju.

Age 75 Vehicle Insurance
Where does it say a maximum of 70 on the website? I can't see any reference to that. Also other comments here, including a reply from Roojai, seem to indicate they will insure drivers upto 75.

Is Obesity a Very Serious Problem?
I was out on Christmas Eve and was amazed at how many young Thai women were grossly overweight. Where do they even buy clothes to fit their massive behinds.

So, how long you like to live.
I am 71 and love motorbikes but gave up riding this year. The traffic in Pattaya is crazy and even a small accident could ruin the last few years i have.

So, how long you like to live.
My father lived to 89 but for the last 9 years was ga ga in a nursing home. Assume 80 is the max good age.

Age 75 Vehicle Insurance
I'm with Roojai at 71 but also thought the max insured age is 75. Like one of the posters i will transfer the car/insurance to my partner then (but lose my NCB).

Scammers in Facebook surely not. Anyone asking for any money upfront is to be avoided.

Lazada - If it looks too good to be true ...
Only order (expensive) items from known stores in Thailand, with lots of good reviews. Never order when the price seems too good. The obvious example is memory cards where you often see adverts for say 512 gb cards for 100 baht !!

Thai company accused of 3 billion baht condo scam
I don't understand this scam. Meen was 900,000 baht in debt (23 x her monthly salary) on her credit card. The company offered to clear the debt if she bought a 4 million baht condo !! Even without this increasing to 16 million for 4 units why would she agree it ? It still left her 3.1 million in debt.

British man’s Thai-high’ trip goes up in smoke at Manchester customs
Suspended sentence, so he got off scot free. No wonder smugglers try it on. Might as well have a sign saying "All drugs welcome"

Do you wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle in Thailand?
Hard to get a balanced response as most of the ones who don't wear helmets are dead.

Using a Thai Debit Card with Amazon
Same here. I didn't have any choices when i ordered but yes i paid for it to be delivered. Now 10 days later i have heard nothing. Does one have to pay extra for the privilege of delivery?

Progressive Leaders Join Elon Musk in Critiquing American Healthcare Costs
Healthcare is a human right, well so is housing and food. Do we give out free houses and free food? Healthcare is an expensive commodity and even wealthy countries have to ration it, otherwise you end up with a mess like the NHS in the UK where it is abused. People should be protected from life changing accidents but otherwise should contribute towards their healthcare as they do to buy a house or any other big item. They also should have to right to choose what level of healthcare they receive not have to accept what some socialist Government deems the lowest common denominator.

Dual Pricing in Thai Tourism: Economic Necessity or Hidden Bias?
I refuse to enter any park that adopts this discriminatory practice. I live here, support a thai family and probably pay more taxes than the average thai but am treated like this !!
