Yep, the CEO was really bad mannered and evasive. 

C'est la vie ???? his name wasn't Lorenze, by any chance?. I was somewhere on social media,  and that name came up as the insurance company _ Lorenze or Lorenzeth or similar)...Capital, I think.

Can't see how they can cover preexisting but if they are contracted to, so be it. They put my Afib on at first a 12 month moratorium, but in the cover note ( I haven't paid yet) it went to 24 months. I can't see how they can cover cardiovascular knowing I have Afib.

 

Oh, and the registration is with Orias, which seems to be a French authority.

easy come easy go seems to be your philosophy. I will GUARANTEE you that whoever is the actual insurer will not accept a claim for a pre-existing condition. my wife disclosed a pre existing condition of ''floaters'' (black dots in your eyes) to the insurance company, 30+ years ago. She had 2 operations in 2022 at Bangkok Intl - one of Lasik surgery (which the insurer paid for) and the other for the removal of the 'floaters'. The claim for that was denied. Every year, on the policy renewal notice, it says there, in black and white: ''excludes coverage for pre-existing condition - of floaters. start shopping around for 'real' insurance' and i suggests you choose an insurer that is registered in Thailand.

Reply from WRLife (or is it WrLife) after cancelling my policy.

 

This is cancelled, you are right better to pay a more expensive premium for the same service.

 

I think they meant to write ''don't you know who I am?'' ???? Unbeievable.

I everyone i have sent a PM to madmitch but he is offline at present does anyone else have Eric Dohlons contact details<br>

there are many excellent brokers based on Phuket. 2 rules of due diligence, especially if you are taking out health insurance: 1. NEVER pay your premiums to the brokers bank account. The risk to avoid is, should the broker gets into financial difficulty (like during the Covid outbreak) it is tempting to use client premiums to save him/herself. The last thing you need in life is to be faced with hospital bills and find that your insurance has lapsed. 2. if you're a new arrival - get a face to face referral to another customer (not your drinking buddy ???? .                                    Eric's office has always been located 'kitty corner' to Lotuss' on the bypass road. specifically

Just to update this thread: we have been with Eric Dohlan's brokerage business since the late 90's. Our accident insurance got cancelled last year (due to age, I believe). Eric found me a replacement insurer - AIG. Just after signing up for that contract, coincidentally, I was attacked by a Thai owned dog, here in Khanom Beach - twice. Eric and his staff have been very helpful, once again, as always, in advising me how to submit the claims. That is an invaluable service, at any age, but especially when you are close to 80. My advice is - make it a life time commitment to which ever broker you choose. and remember, brokers will work for your interests. Not sure if I got this right, but agents tend to be ''tied in'' to one insurance company (probably the one that pays the highest commission) and will try to steer you in that direction.

one thing we can all agree on, is that this is great therapy. I feel so much better,  reading all these posts. better than a happy ending (which would mean Thaskin goes back to jail, does not pass GO and does not collect 2 billion baht). thanks guys.

Based on communications with, and recommendations from Kamalabob, I met with Eric. Everything Kamalabob said is true. I now have health and personal accident ins ....and peace of mind.... because of Eric. Buying insurance in Thailand had become an absolute nightmare until I met Eric. I very highly recommend him.

Pro-Reform Students Rally to Question Thaksin's Hospital Stay

 

 

The Network of Students and People for Reform of Thailand organized a peaceful demonstration at the Central World shopping complex, opposite the Police General Hospital.

 

The event, led by Pichit Chaiyamongkol, featured a mock prison cell representing former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, emphasizing that he should be in jail, not the hospital.

 

Pichit and his fellow demonstrators were expressing their concerns for the third time, questioning the legitimacy of Thaksin’s illness that has kept him in the hospital for 48 days since his return to Thailand, reported INN.

 

Thaksin had publicly stated his willingness to face justice and serve time in prison, yet he was transferred to the hospital shortly after his detention, citing health concerns backed by international medical certificates.

 

The NSPRT's demonstration aimed to highlight what they believe is a manipulation of the justice system. With Thaksin's 60-day hospital stay nearing completion and only 12 days remaining, questions arise about potential new reasons that might be presented to keep the former leader out of prison.

 

The demonstration was conducted peacefully with officers from the Metropolitan Police Division 6 overseeing the event to ensure safety and order. The NSPRT remains determined to see that justice is served without prejudice, shedding light on a case that continues to draw national attention.

Do you think she know that the moss is endangered?

Personally I have to admit I didn't know that there is something like "endangered moss".

 

And according to you, because she didn't respect that moss, you write "Any credibility she once had is gone, girl, gone. 555"

 

So it seems that you think that anybody who doesn't know or care about endangered moss lost credibility.

Is that only the case when people doesn't know or care about endangered moss? Or is any wrongdoing, including speeding, a reason to think all credibility is gone?

 

 

what a waste of words and time. First, please try to stick to the topic. the OP was about the upskirt guy, It went into detail about sexual deviance/predators, whom I said should be named and shamed. The photos displaying the Senator's ignorance and the reason WHY was published on at least one medium I saw. Hence, I took the liberty of using that as an example. Although you have a million upticks, try taking a course in public debating.

We all make mistakes, sometimes we don't know, sometime knowingly and we think it's not a big deal.

Did you ever drive too fast? Knowingly?

If yes, then I guess your credibility is gone.

Or maybe not?

One More, you're usually smarter than your post implies. I am still trying to connect the dots between perverts who make mistakes and speeding (which I do, between the speed cameras ???? on a separate issue Pornthip is highly educated - which gives her no licence for being ignorant.

Pattaya News - similar to '' The Bangkok Post - current news'' :you will find both in the thesaurus, right under ''oxymoron''.

Confused? or am I swimming out of my depth? is there any news coming out of Pattaya, or Bangkok for that matter? we expats are stuck with the fact that there is no real news to read, in Thailand. That is why it is called an oxymoron:  a figure of speech that combines contradictory words with opposing meanings, like ''you are clearly confused“ “deafening silence,” or “organized chaos.” cheers

when is Thailand going to realize that publicizing the face of pervs like this (and the really worst of the worst) is in the public interest?. A perfect example of name and shame being effective is the publication of photos showing Senator Pornthip rolling around endangered moss on here Icelandic trip (https://www.government.is/topics/environment-climate-and-nature-protection/national-parks-and-protected-areas/)  Any credibility she once had is gone, girl, gone. 555

I have to admit I didn't check last week but as far as I know they still exist and are active.

I'm fat, not obese but fat. My sympathies are with the driver and his shock absorbers which are costly to replace (unless you steal them, but that would be illegal). Fat people should be called out and shamed for their fatness. People with phone cameras should take photos and put them on social media every time they see a fat person eating something. Just a personal opinion, nothing insulting intended.

Do you have a link to that? I doubt that very much, 

try checking the reports in the media. if you want to split hairs - its half way between avoidance and evasion. One land deal going through 12 nominees? and it is non-transparent, assuming you're with me on what that means. aka ''the smell test'' .

Back then I think he made visits to temples in India, maybe a vacation in the U.S.?

 

Back to the Lazarus Pit.

 

I predict he will make a comeback.

 

 

 

 

yep - a visit to my village Post Office yesterday saw the entire staff glued to the TV coverage of BJ at various Buddhist ceremonies. Did you know that visiting the temple is like getting a ''get out of jail free'' card?

He would have paid tax on that so in actual fact he is only giving away 80k odd each month - a drop in the ocean for him

he's trying to make up for all that tax he evaded on the Siri land deals. Now if we could only get Thaskin to repay all the tax he evaded on the sale of the satellite rights to Telemask, this country might have a chance. Nobody pays taxes here, except the salaried (and us expat peasants who have taxable income).
