I am happy to see that VF is pulling away from the field

So he is leaving his house is he.....off to celebrate his potential win :)

A pity Warp Speed never made it this year, then we could have had a real contest.

Dare I say it.

A world of pain.

10 pills per sale... wow... I have 5 pharmacies within 5 min walking distance, 15 within 5 min scooter drive... where is the restriction?

The restriction is that each pharmacy is only able to sell 1000 pills a month total

They can only be sold when the pharmacist is actually present

They must be recorded in a leger with ID number.

Elderly people mostly have a Health Care Card (only the wealthy don't) and these people are bulk-billed by their doctor.  Also the medication would come under the PBS scheme which means it would actually cost less than OTC.

As I said cost to the taxpayer...

THe medicine under the PPBS scheme has a cost of

1 the doctor's visit

2 the Pharacist proffessional fee

3 Government list price for the medication which is higher than normal retail.

the above three items are mainly  paid by the government.

Many (most doctors no longer bulk bill for people on Health Care Cards, they charge more.  Some still bulk bill for those on Pension cards.

The patient, has to pay  out of pocked a fee of 

The co-payment is the amount you pay towards the cost of your PBS medicine. Many PBS medicines cost a lot more than you actually pay as a co-payment.

From 1 January 2016, you pay up to $38.30 for most PBS medicines or $6.20 if you have a concession card. The Australian Government pays the remaining cost.

From 1 January 2016, pharmacists may choose to discount the PBS patient co-payment by up to $1.00. This is not mandatory and it is the pharmacist’s choice whether or not to provide a discount. The option to discount the co-payment does not apply for prescriptions which are an early supply of a specified medicine.

The amount of co-payment is adjusted on 1 January each year in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Safety Net there is a safety net though of  On 1 January 2016, the Safety Net thresholds changed from $366.00 to $372.00 (for concession card holders) and from $1,453.90 to $1,475.70 (for all other patients). These increases include the usual annual CPI indexation. A similar increase has occurred each year for four years (commencing in 2006). This is thee amount a patient may have to pay up to a year,

Which means elderly ladies waiting for 2 or 4 years for hip replacement surgery in Australia and who are in constant pain must visit the doctor every 5 days an extra $37 from the government to the doctors pocket plus some from the patient ad probably about $30 in Medicare administration charges.  Plus about a $10 professional fee per item for the pharmacist.

A lot more than the $5 it would cost otherse 

As far as temple architecture is concerned it is outstanding,...different but they said that about the cathedral at Cologne. s far as being a true religious practice I doubt it.

Australia passport $274AU plus $100 overseas charge Plus.

Therre is  no need to be here to check.

Sign up o the ais site.

Make your query there.

Just because they are on the list they do not have to sign it.  You may have to shop around but I am sure you will find someone.  If you have trouble I think a phone call to the embassy would put you on the right track.

To ask a definitive answer you really should check your embassy.

You're Asian. why would you have respect for intellectual property?  Thailand also cheated on the statin drugs.  Probably had a purple polyester suited unveiling complete with 12 honored speakers and other high ranking officials.

 

1) Can you name one short term medical insurance company that covers pregnancy?  Let alone one that issues travel medical coverage?

 

2)  Can you name one place where a private hospital would NOT cost more than its government counterpart?

 

3)  What came first...hospitals overbilling insurance companies or insurance companies refusing full reimbursement?  That, I don't know...and that is even more reason to look at your policy and do a little research before you hit the ground.

if you read the conditions for UK residents....

Pregnancy

As is consistent with the treatment of all pre-existing medical conditions under the policy, the policy does not intend to cover the normal costs or losses otherwise associated with pregnancy (including multiple pregnancy) or childbirth. This includes, but is not limited to, delivery by caesarean section or any other medically or surgically assisted delivery which does not cause medical complications. The policy does, however, cover you should complications arise with your pregnancy due to accidental bodily injury or unexpected illness which occurs while on your trip excluding costs incurred during the period between 12 weeks before and 12 weeks after the estimated date of delivery.

This would be covered under this section and most if not all UK policies are the same.  ie Miscarriages are covered.

This is from a fairly standard UK policy.  It is hard to see why she woud not be covered.

This could prove a very complex situation.

The child is allowed to remain in thailand with limited rights as a Stateless person born in Thailand.  The child is being issued with Swedish citizenship.  Hence no longer a stateless person.  Will the child have to leave Thailand or be considered on overstay. (I realise there is no penalty for overstay for children).

No.  It is the record of birth.  The law is framed that way to ensure that people do not have children in a host country and then claim rights for the child and to live with the child which would subvert normal immigration policies.  Personally I do not agree with it but it is not just Thailand this applies in.

The child has the record of his or her birth from the hospital.  this is what is needed to get an identity from the embassy of the country of citizenship of the parents.  The same rules apply in many western countries now.

Only a child who has one parent Thai is entitled to register a birth.  There is no right to one.

If the TV station is running in defiance  of a legal shutdown order the answer is to turn of its electricity and as it is hard to seperate that from the rest of the complex that means all of it..

hawaii has far from a stellar educational standard to put it kindly.

So it would seem by current rankings.  It used to have a higher one but I guess that was due to Margaret Mead whose original research was not exactly based on good sample selection.  

How do they get over the problems of restricton of discussion of subjects that may be relevant, and the rather fact poor understanding of the areas history and developement.  I would think that would be hard.  

I am not saying Thai Universities are bad, there are some very good areas here.  

try to move along a sidewalk in a wheelchair.   god move. rn Bangkok into what it was like in 1970.  

Two can live as cheaply as one....but only for one tenth of the time.

I'm a T12 paraplegic and can say that the amount of assistance (without request) that I am offered on an almost daily basis is enough to bring me to tears.

I am in a wheelchair too and I agree about the help.  What is lacking is the infrastructe and a willingness to do something about it.  

There are a few highly religeous TTHais who are sure they are going to be reincarnated at a high level becuse of their goodness who think that it is due to our bad karma and we must have done something bad so can be treated as the wish.  These are rare and they do exist.  But then the Budha refused to allow people with disabilities to enter the Monkhood.

Thailand was the best place in the world to do post-grad work in my old field (Tai-Kadai studies), and while the uni itself was the epitome of hidebound Thai ways, I'd still recommend it. But as others have noted above, there's no way to generalize. And this 'survey' really needs one more question attached: have you actually studied at/graduated from a Thai university? Or at least taught at one? Otherwise half the responses are going to be the usual sort of ignorant barstool banter.

 

 

I would think Hawaii would be a better choice for that.   Here you are getting a rather filtered view of Tai History and movement and hence rather difficult to see the wood for the trees with the language changes and development..

Interesting to consider that some of the first rules regarding disabled people were the Royal Decrees in 1942:

12, On protecting children, the elderly and the handicapped, issued 28 January 1942, consisted of two items:

1. "In public places or roads, people should assist and protect children, the elderly, or the handicapped."
2. "Whoever follows item 1 is considered a cultured person deserving of the respect of the Thai people."^[13]
