Your lying there half dead on the trolley and the first words, How do you want to pay?

That happened to me, private hospital in Pattaya, the 1 just of central road/ second road.

On a gurney in emergency room, after a mild heart attack, first question, do you have insurance.

I don’t know it depends on him and his situation but his wife’s insurance he said only covers him at government hospitals and I’ve seen one government hospital and I would not take a stray dog to that particular government hospital.  My cat literally got better medical care at an emergency veterinarian than they give people at the government hospital I saw.  The emergency veterinarian hospital was literally cleaner and even had better X-ray and stuff like ultrasound equipment.  If he can afford it I’d recommend that he keep his private insurance policy if at all possible.  I’m retired military so I’m luck to be fully covered at private hospitals but I still pay for most of my medical stuff out of pocket unless it’s something like a major procedure just because I don’t like dealing with all the paperwork they require back in the States at TRICARE.  In fact my wife and I are both over due for a colonoscopy so I’m definitely going to have them cover that because those can get expensive depending on the doctor.  

Why the scaremongering?

You are fortunate you are covered for private hospitals, but if you did not have that cover, and had a serious accident and you were taken to a government hospital would you say do not help me, i am too good to be treated here, no you would accept their help willingly.

Surprised ColinNeil 'liked' this post as he was crippled in a typical & traditional Thai hit and run, and his neighbour was murdered in a typical & traditional Thai insane rage attack over a bag of MaMa noodles.

Yes i was crippled by a crazy driver, but he did not run away, he stayed and lied to the police.

The murder was committed by a drug -fueled local thug.

I am crippled for life, but i do not bear a grudge against the driver, if i let hate of him rule my life, i would ruin what is left of my life.

There will be no coup, says Ole Fatty, looking back over his shoulder.

The next lot are just waiting ready to pounce.

Petty theft. Hardly worth an article on a well respected site like this is it? More pressing matters out there one thinks. 

Disagree with you, he is a thief and it should be brought out in the open on here.

Kudos to you for those remarks. 

And to those of you who posted comments which were only sarcastic and mean spirited just to increase your posting numbers, it is sad to see so many vile persons on one thread.  I like reading many of the threads for their information and often quick-witted and funny comments.  But for those of you that can only seem to excoriate others, I (and probably many others) would just wish that you would <deleted>!  There is an old saying that goes something like this - "If you can't say something good about another then just don't say anything"!   The Brit here had something very bad happen to him, I sincerely hope nothing like that happens to the commenters here.

Clearly you cannot read too good, before you attack me and others here read all the posts first.

Because it did happen to me, a damn sight worse than him, but i did not go begging for money just got on with it.

I personally ride a Suzuki DR 800 Big for 350 km in the desert with a broken leg so? Maybe you should check what you got in the sack, if are balls or chestnuts...

It appears he is not alone then.

That is what happens when you give weapons to a man/child.

Hardly a good reason for breaking his arm

Agree with you mate, but the Italian clearly was not in full control of his bike, his girlfriend said as much, he could only drive slow.

As we all know it does not take much to set a Thai man off, when driving, road rage here is a very serious problem.

What happened prior to being hit with the hammer? We dont know, and neither him or his girlfriend will be forthcoming about that.

What the hell was the clown doing riding a mc with a broken leg.

What have his visa requirements got to do with anything? How does a one way ticket invalidate your travel insurance? 

 

If people want to help let them, I would rather my taxes go to helping real people like this guy other than funding CEOs and corrupt politicians. There should be emergency health care for everyone. 

Clearly you are behind the times.

What has visa requirements got to do with it, study the law regarding visas then you will know.

How does a one way ticket invalidate travel insurance, you have answered the question yourself, one way ticket.

While i feel sorry for this young man, it appears he just decided i will go to Thailand have fun.

He arrived on a one way ticket, clearly no thought to visa requirements, had insurance but invalidated it, because of a one way ticket, and riding an mc without a license.

Family thinks no problem we will get others to pay for his stupidity.

It appears somebody related to the court case didnt want them to get there.

What crime did he commit?

If they jailed every Thai that abandoned his woman, the prisons would have more men on the inside than there were on the outside.

What crime did he commit?

Dumping a bedridden woman, his wife by the roadside, and you ask what crime did he commit, get real man.

I am lucky if my wife tried to dump me, she would probably hurt herself trying to get my 90 kg body out of the vehicle.
