Well you only have 3 days in Nov 2018 so it's not really 7 months is it ?  and you didn't answer my question, do you live in CM ?

Also looks like by using Sarapee Hospital as a location your figs (perhaps them figs suit your argument better) are somewhat different to Chiang Mai as a location.

I wish more people could see this post. You’re spot on and too many blow off air pollution with an argument about automobile pollution or cigarettes. The air in North Thailand  is toxic and unhealthy most of the year. 

How many months is most of the year ?

A lot of them were here long before pollution became an issue, no problem with acuity of thought.  It is the more recent arrivals that cause wonder.

As a matter of interest when did the pollution become an issue ?

Seems to me that anyone with large amounts of THB should be draining SuperRich of all the smaller pounds/sterling they can get and sitting on them. Then, when it turns the other way (as it surely will) fly over to the UK for a visit and buy the large bills for and even exchange. Then when you return to Thailand descend on SuperRich once more and change it back and the better rate.

 

On the Brexit thing I have a question based purely out of curiosity; Why is England apparently afraid of ruling itself again? I'm not from there so am asking as an outsider looking in and not trying to start a fight. Just really want to know. You guys were "The Empire" for centuries so what is so worrisome over being that again? Are you just out of practice? Has not being in charge for so long taken the wild out of the lion? Are your politicians so incredibly inept that they can't make deals on the world market alone?

There's a story in American newspapers that England can't accept the deal President Trump offered while still in the EU. It seems you guys could lead the revolution as it were and be the beginning of the end of EU rule throughout Europe.

Again, not trying to touch nerves, just really curious as a non-englishman. 

52% are not afraid of ruling for itself, you should have specified that it was for the 48% to answer !

it was a running joke around here for a while that what's needed is 400K cover with a 400K deductible!
 

guess they ran with it ????

 

 

That is similar to outpatient cover with a 40,000 baht deductible, i would imagine very few outpatient visits would come up to 40,000 baht so there's a good chance that it could never be cost effective to even make a claim.

Although i do recall reading somewhere with Pacific Cross that the deductible only has to be paid on the first claim so that any other claims within the year the deductible doesn't have to be paid.

Its acceptability will basically be up to the company i.e. will they still issue you Imm certificate.

I am not clear if deductible appl8es to the inpt part only. If it alSo applues to OPD then you would probably no longer meet Imm criteria but case can certainly be made if it applies only to inpt as you'd still have way over 400k cover.

Indeed best to have a broker sort it out with the company.

Just do not buy any policy without guarantee they will issue the Imm certificate with it.

Why would this be Sheryl ? especially if you have a plan that covers up to 5m baht.

Always found it best to deal with Pacific Cross directly rather than going through a third party, can get like chinese whispers if too many people are involved plus the factor of a broker being busy therefore having to wait for a response.

On a separate issue regarding the deductible and outpatient costs, due to outpatient costs generally being fairly low it could well be that due to having a deductible for 40,000 baht for example it wouldn't be cost effective to claim on the insurance policy for a incident therefore making the outpatient part of the policy mostly redundant although due to Immigration policy it is still something we need to be insured for.

Lets go over it again:

The subject you chipped in on WAS ABOUT MY WIFE.

So it went from "why would you comment" to "The subject you chipped in on"

Anyway you still never answered the question, did your wife follow City before you met her ?

When your 'friend' next needs to visit a hospital, I suggest she avoids all foreigners, even the doctors and nurses that would treat her.

 

She can wait for an 'English' doctor or an 'English' nurse. Not 'British' mind you. As no doubt if it weren't for the 'foreigners', you'd be having a go at the Scots and the Welsh and the Irish.

To be fair, at that particular hospital i'm sure the ratio of English patients to English doctors is a lot less than Foreign patients to Foreign doctors so perhaps your idea could be a winner for English people ????.

15,000 stabbings??!! I defy you to me the evidence. I'll accept any kind of statistic. Exactly the kind of person that I described earlier. Reading without understanding.

No doubt you are equating 'knife crime' with stabbings.

 

I actually visit all of those areas and more, even when dark(best time to do training when there is not much traffic polluting the air) and haven't witnessed any "township violence". Nor even any threatening behaviour.

 

You comments are beneath contempt. Your friend too sounds like a 'winner'. Birds of a feather and all that.

 

 

Sorry my mistake it wasn't nearly 15,000 stabbing's it was nearly 15,000 incidents of knife crime, so that obviously makes it ok then ????

London recorded the highest rate of 169 offences involving a knife per 100,000 population in 2018/19.

BBC analysis has revealed that London has 16 of the top 25 knife crime hot spots in England and Wales.

The data from 34 of the 43 police forces include crimes of assault, robbery, sexual offences, the threat to kill, attempted murder, or murder committed with a blade. The report comes as the capital looks set to see the murder rate surpass that of last year, which was already a decade-high level.Analysis in May by the London Assembly’s Conservatives claimed since Labour’s Sadiq Khan became mayor in 2016, the city has seen knife crime rise by 52 per cent.

I too live in London. I fancy myself as a bit of an explorer. Seeking out new places.

I've yet to discover these "black townships" and "African ghettoes". Where can I find them? Exact locations and I'll take a look for myself.

 

Township violence? Have you taken leave of your senses? More like kids being encouraged to attack each other.

Apart from a few idiots stabbing each other, you'll see more violence in a city centre up north after a night of drinking.

 

I fail to understand why you brought Grenfell into it. That had more to do with the policies of that particular council, who also failed to heed the repeated warnings given by the Residents Association, that a tragedy was imminent.

Do you think they were all sitting on their backsides? No doubt many had low paid jobs and there were others who owned their apartments.

 

Immigrants fuel the wealth of the "comparatively wealthy western nations". They do the jobs that the people already there don't want to do.

 

See how the country would fare, if all of the 'immigrants' got up and left. Where would we draw the line as to who should leave?

Immigrants who arrived within the past five years? Ten years? Fifty years?

 

It's a well worn theme to blame the newest wave of immigrants for the ills of the country.

 

On the one hand one could blame the Poles for undercutting the Brits and doing a better job. On the other, thank goodness we have hard working people who will do the job at a reasonable price.

 

If you don't have the willing labour, you have to put up with idiots holding you to ransom. Maybe turning up for work, maybe not.

A sense of entitlement. Enraged when someone else comes along, offering to do the job for much less and happy to live five to a small apartment in order to save money for a better life.

 

Same thing happens around the world. That's why you have Burmese, Laotian, Cambodians going to work in Thailand.

 

Things don't stay the same. 

 

That's possibly why you loved Thailand. it took you back to more simple days. Unfortunately, the same thing has occurred there too. Changing policies affect us all.

Blaming immigrants for your ills isn't the way forward. Some are good for the country and some are not.

 

Black township and African ghettoes? Listen to yourself man. You are totally out of touch.

 

I went past a Territorial Army base the other day. Almost every single young person who filtered out was black. Very many looked African, to my eyes.

 

So they, at some point, could be fighting for your/their country.

Have some respect for yourself, rather than to repeat, parrot fashion, some nonsense from the likes of The Sun, Daily Express, Telegraph et al.

 

I went to school with Africans and Caribbeans. Their families are more conservative and education aware than anyone you are likely to meet.

 

But if choose to believe that a few drug dealing idiots is all their is, you are doing them and yourself, an injustice.

 

Don't join the ranks of the ignorant. There are idiots of every nationality. 

Not so much "black townships" and "African ghettoes", but certainly areas where you will see very few English people. If you disagree that there are such areas then i suggest you get out of your bubble and have a good look around areas such as Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Walthamstow, etc and various areas in South London, but obviously not after dark.

If you think nearly 15,000 stabbings in London (2018/2019) is a few idiots then perhaps you need to look at yourself in view of this comment.

See a recent conversation i had with a friend awaiting a hospital appointment, " i hope they don't send me to North Midd hospital, i can't stand  going their with all of them foreigners walking around spitting everywhere" suggest you pay it a visit to confirm what she ses.

I’m not sure it’s down to any pending move from him. 

 

More down to players not wanting to be there, players who are there injured or not fit, players who came in injured or not settled and a keeper who is proned to errors. Most of all lack of confidence. 

 

I also read read that he lost some of the dressing room after Champions league final when he played half fit Harry over Moura who effectively got them there. 

All gossip of course.....

...when you have no argument to make.

 

Alfie, not once have City or City's fans EVER, I repeat, EVER professed to being a European great. We have however been pretty decent in England over the past 8 years or so.

 

Interestingly i read an article recently that made the point that the reason Pep's (messi-less) teams don't win the CL is because they are built to dominate possession and games which is fine for winning leagues but means they don't react so well in cup competitions when one suckerpunch against the run of play can be enough to knock a team out of the cup.

 

Where did i say they did ?  just making the point that if City want to be considered as a European great then they will have to win the CL.Lets face it, all the great teams over the years have been CL winner's.

Pretty decent in England !!! exactly that is not Europe is it ?
