Can someone please clarify this for me? I've always had travel insurance which incorporates health insurance (medical emergencies etc or any other illness which would include a hospital stay ) so why are the Thai authorities now calling it health insurance? Don't get it? Or are they making it mandatory to take out health insurance with one of their 'recommended' insurers? Advice appreciated,thanks.

It appears to be very old information as the Non Imm O ME Visa they mention hasn't been available for a long time.

Thanks ba ba,I thought it was unlikely but at least we know now. We'll have to look for an alternative destination in the area,any suggestions/ recommendations?

That's a surprise! I wonder how many units have been sold? ????

This health insurance everyone is going on about. Isn't this just travel insurance that we would purchase before arriving in Thailand? My travel insurance covers me for any medical emergency and the UK company providing it say it is worldwide cover.
I don't understand how the Thai authorities claim that all of these medical Bill's have been unpaid by foreigners? Whenever I've ever needed treatment at a Thai hospital theyve checked the policy first before providing any treatment,so they know that they will get paid. Someone is making a nice profit at the expense of foreigners,yet again!

Yes it must have been. The content of the email the Thai Embassy London sent me was sent to me on 5th November,a couple of days ago. Make of it what you will.

Tanoshi,just for your benefit,here is the remainder of the email from the Thai Embassy London. Suppose that's not from them either is it?
-
Tanoshi,If it's not information from the Thai Embassy in London where is it from? I posted on here to ask for help,I took a screenshot of the email they sent me to show people what lead to my initial post and now you are basically calling me a liar? Why? If you work for the Thai Embassy in London I suggest that you advise your colleagues that were responsible for sending me the email. If not,email them and see what response you get!

Just for information this was the info given to me by the Thai Embassy in London which lead to my original post.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Just received a response from the Thai Embassy in London(on a Sunday!) after I queried the financial requirements for a non o visa, they've basically said apply for whatever visa you think you need and if they require any additional documentation they'll let me know. Didn't answer my question so i don't think that they actually know what's required. I'll apply for the Non O visa ( single entry) and if possible to visit Vietnam,see what's available to us at the time without affecting the Non O visa.

Well, at least you have had 15 years of the good life! I've just retired at 60 and although we've owned our own property in Thailand for the past 15 years or so we've only been able to visit each year for about 6 weeks at a time, due to work commitments. However now we are free of work we are planning to stay for longer to really enjoy our home and have more time to visit family and friends over there. Just hope the paperwork isnt too much for visas etc but having read your post I doubt it. You would think that the Thai authorities would do all they can to welcome foreigners as the country is really struggling without tourists but it seems that they're making it more difficult than ever! It will push potential visitors/buyers away,as it has in your case. Don't understand why?

Need someadvice on this Non Immigrant O visa. Myself and my wife,who is Thai are booked up to come to Thailand in February 2022 and we are going to stay for 90 days. While we are there,if it's possible,we might visit Vietnam for a week as we've never been before. When I asked the Thai Embassy in London for advice they said that in order to apply for a Non O visa( multiple entry) I'd have to prove that I had an income of £10,000 per month! Or for a single entry Non O visa, an income of £1000 per month. This can't be right surely? I thought you had to have the equivalent of £20,000 in the bank,which I have but £10000 per month! I'm sure that there are people on here who have that sort of income but i would suggest that the majority,like me do not. Just seems ridiculous for a 90 day visa.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Try Virgin Media.1000 minutes for £4 a month. Calls to Thai mobiles or landlines.

The airline is the problem. Your wife will be allowed to enter the UK, no problem on her US Passport. All immigration are concerned with is that you have a valid document to travel, i.e her passport.
My wife was travelling from London - BKK. She has dual nationality, Thai/British but had never used both passports before. At check in at Heathrow they asked for her passport, so she produced her British passport. Because we were going for to Thailand for over 30 days they asked her where her tourist visa was in the British passport, which you need for stays in excess of 30 days. My wife explained that she didn't need a visa because she had her Thai passport and would be using this to enter Thailand. The airline stated that you must enter at the destination airport using the same passport you checked in with as the passport number is linked to your booking/ticket. My wife was made to check in using her Thai passport, which we weren't happy about but were left with no other option.
Whilst we were in departures I contacted the UK Border Agency/immigration at Heathrow from an internal phone in departures. I explained the situation to them and they were quite happy for my wife to use her passports as she had planned to but went on to say that they have no control over the airlines policy.
On the return journey from Bangkok, my wife departed using her Thai passport and entered the UK on her British passport,no problem.

Leave it with me, I'll get back to you.

Try Duna MAC, which is suitable for all lense types and made by Bausch & Lomb. Stocked by all Top Charoen outlets which are everywhere in Thailand.

Good man Frits, you keep directing people away from Cha am. You are quite right though, there isn't a lot to do .....but RELAX!! Just the way people In Cha-am like it.
-
Some relatives of our housekeeper did a great job of tiling the walls of our kitchen, that was about 3 years ago though, I can find out if they're still around Cha-am if you want?

Home Pro sell all the fittings for it so they must stock the pipe. Thaiwhatsadu definitely stock the pipe.
-
Funny enough I was just talking to my neighbour about this yesterday. Thaiwhatsadu definitely sell it and Home Pro must do as they sell the sprinkler heads for the pipe.The pipe my neighbour has in his garden looks to be about 19mm.

We have a very nice 3 bedroomed,2 bathroomed villa with garden in Cha-am about 2km from the beach. It's not on a hotel complex but is on a private development so it is self catering but we provide just about everything a family would need. Very nice 20m communal pool. Free wifi etc. Please take a look at www.chaamholidaybungalow.co.uk

Hello mate. Good tyres, as has already been said will give you more confidence in the wet. Also, try to relax when you're on the bike(I appreciate that this is easier said than done) but if you are relaxed your manoevering of the bike will be smoother. Practice is the key as the lads on here have already said. The more you ride in the wet the more confident you will become over time.

Hi everyone,
does anybody know where I can buy fuel stabiliser in Thailand? I am going to buy a bike when we come back to Thailand in November and as the bike probably won't be used for months after we return to the UK I thought putting some of this in the tank before I park it up would prevent starting problems when we come back again.
Thanks. -
My wife and I have a very nice 3 bed bungalow which sounds like it would meet your requirements. It would be at the top of your budget but it's well worth it. Check it out at www.chaamholidaybungalow.co.uk

Health insurance = Travel insurance right?

It doesn't specify Covid cover on the policy but having spoken to the company,provided that we aren't travelling against the advice of the foreign office,which we aren't, then cover is provided regardless of what illness/ injury you are suffering with providing that we have disclosed any pre existing medical conditions, which we have.
