  1. Sadly you seem to be living in an area where the costs for foreigners are well and truly inflated.

    I do not know whether you are living there permamently or not but if you are not it may be cheaper to move somewhere else for the month or so before.  You will probably find it a lot more affordable.

    Although this may not be what you want to hear do not forget Thai mothers have been having babies for centuries and the Government hospital may be a lot cheaper but the care is good.

    Sheryl should be able to give you some advise.

     

  2. Sad...I recall there was an accident with a previous Children's Day display.

    I guess this wil end them which will be a sad loss.  I still remember he aerial displays when I was young (not in Thailand) and the oportunities to actually sit in a Sabre cockpit and be told how to fly...I was about 10 by the person who flew it for real.

    Actually, the average age of CEC members is right at age 65, so many come here before age 65.  Companies like Health Care International will start new policies up to age 75, but the cost will be more than US$2300 per year.  What MalandLee proposed simply isn't workable from an actuarial standpoint.  There's a reason insurance becomes more expensive the older you get.  The Thai gov't health care system is stretched to capacity already.  The last thing they want are to open the flood gates elderly foreign retirees who are paying something like the 13,300 baht/month proposed by MalandLee.

     

    Hubby and I went to Malaysia and investigated the 10 yr Malaysia retirement visa in December.  You have to have health insurance.  No option to buy into their gov't health care cheaply.  You have to purchase private health cover at the sort of prices Luther mentioned.  

    MM2H (Malaysia My Second Home)

    According to the goverment, in order to be accepted in Malaysia's expatriate retirement scheme, your medical insurance must be valid, "Approved participants and their dependants must possess valid medical insurance coverage that is applicable in Malaysia from any insurance company." There is an exception however, that is actually used regularly by would-be expats, "exemptions may be given for participants who face difficulty in obtaining a medical insurance due to their age or medical condition," but you are still required to present a formal letter from an insurer rejecting your claim of application, in order to continue through with being accepted on the MM2H programme. 

     

     

    You were obviously poorly advised in your case.

    What's funny is it sounds like your implying something has gone on which is a very serious matter and not one you would casually address in a forum and on the other hand only a matter of an hour or so ago your discussing the legalities of work permits etc for digital nomads? Hope all is well anyway.

    The internet is a very up to date media

     

  5. Gay or not isn't rape rape.  Or cannot gays consent.  In which case it is rape as rape needs lack of consent.  Well there is consent which is not consent....so what would not be rape is rape.

     

  6. She is here because the Thai Government wants her here to answer charges as does the court.  It is the duty of the government and police to ensure she does not leave the country or otherwise breach her bail conditions (bail is a conditional release...not a do anything you want card).  She has a full choice.  If she does not want supervision in the community she can surrender to the Central Remand Prison which will give it to her.

  7. It is interesting that BorKorSau was started in the many years ago just to put these bandits out of business.  There was a big problem with deaths and dangerous unlicenceced one bus company air con tour busses poorly maintained and trying to do as many hours as possible.  The government imported top class Mercedes busses and for a few years ran a top class service running these shady companies out of business.  they then licenced the busses to other companies under strict conditions.  Sadly those conditions no longer seem to apply.
