Disappointment in Srettha’s Putin Phuket invitation
paddypower replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I am pretty sure this wont make it through the senzors. but it's worth a try. when I imagine Srettha's invitation to Putin, why am I reminded of that episode in ''From Dusk Till Dawn'' 'Come on over to Phuket - you'll love it. It's a (deleted) blowout. 'we got white (deleted), black (deleted), Spanish (deleted) yellow (deleted. We got hot (deleted), cold (deleted. We got wet (deleted). . -

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. -
WRLife medical insurance - experiences?
paddypower replied to bradiston's topic in Health and Medicine
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. -

Reliable Medical/ Health Insurance Broker In Phuket
paddypower replied to thailoneus's topic in Insurance in Thailand
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 A & I Insurance Co Ltd. 96/240 Moo1 (Royal Place) Praphuketkaew Rd.

Reliable Medical/ Health Insurance Broker In Phuket
paddypower replied to thailoneus's topic in Insurance in Thailand
which part confuses you? -
So, Mr. Sakhakan the acting Director-General of the Corrections Department's medical staff conducted both the CT scan and MRI on Mr. Thaksin earlier today, I had MRI scans. I never had the Director General of the hospital holding my hand and running the machine. Its ''take a deep breath and hold it'' then ''release your breath''. A no-brainer. He further explained that 'the medical team diligently oversees the health of ALL (prisoner) patients''.When is someone going to nail these people for their outright lies?

Reliable Medical/ Health Insurance Broker In Phuket
paddypower replied to thailoneus's topic in Insurance in Thailand
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. -
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.

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 guess you only recently arrived? as I wrote on another thread recently, logic is not not on the Thai school curriculum, never was since i came in '92 and never will be. add to that - the belief that whatever happens to you is preordained fate. When it happens that you die, you will come back again. I have never figured out the part where, when you come back again, will you have learned anything new?

Great news. There's NOT enough of this kind of thing. Let's have more embarrassing publicity like this for Thailand, please. They hate losing face - even if it's a snake's face.- 97 replies

PM to donate his salary to charitable foundations
paddypower replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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'' . -
'Big Joke' Absent From Duty Amid Online Gambling Case
paddypower replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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?
