You certainly pay for it in France, the national security system will pay 70% and the remaining 30% is for you to pay if you don't have additional insurance. And spend a year out of the country without paying tax and you are not covered anymore. I'm no expert regarding the UK, but I know it is less generous than France. Lots of people misunderstand the way "nanny States" work, yes they will treat you first and not let you die like in Thailand, but ultimately you are footing the bill.

Now let's watch them enforce it. This is definitely going to be in the top 10 most entertaining Thai political endeavours I have witnessed.

A word on policy?

That is correct.

I already have the non-O marriage visa, it was extended for 60 days and after that I will extend it for another 12 months, in both cases from within Thailand.

Correct, BBL asked me for a residence certificate. I have had a Kasikorn account for 15 years but opened a second one last month on my single-entry non-O and got turned down at SCB. I can't speak for other banks.

In some banks yes, the process is very smooth at Bangkok Bank with a single-entry, others such as SCB require the 12-month extension IME.

Indeed, since the 60-day VE came into play, more options are on the cards.

I got a 60-day extension and intend to do the 12-month one after that.

I got a non-O single-entry 90-day marriage visa in Vientiane last April and they did not require proof of funds.

I've mounted several cams in cars too, easy enough to tuck the cables in. Somehow I always figured it was trickier to do on a a motorbike, but probably not that big a deal. Or I could just ask the friendly staff at Honda to do it. Thanks a lot for the details.

Does it have annoying and unsightly cables running along the length of the bike? This is the reason why I have never installed one.

Could you describe the circumstances of the accident? What bike do you ride? What speed were you doing? What happened? Who was at fault? Is there anything you could have done to avoid it? I'm sorry this happened and wish you a speedy recovery. However as I see it, the purpose of these "accident" threads is partly to raise awareness on the dangers of riding in Thailand, and help other riders anticipate them. Regarding the advice you're seeking, you mean in terms of recovery? My dad had a bad accident a few years ago and an osteopath helped him a lot.

I am quoting Joe Biden. Here are a couple of sources which, perhaps, will not trigger a Pavlovian response: Biden is taking some heat for comments he made to the New York Observer, in which he said of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., a rival for the nomination: "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=2838420&page=1 Joe Biden worried in 1977 that certain de-segregation policies would cause his children to grow up 'in a racial jungle' https://www.yahoo.com/news/joe-biden-worried-1977-certain-182631643.html I was also quoting Ashley Biden's diary, legally certified as authentic, where she says her dad Joe Biden would take inappropriate showers with her.

You don't say. Biden’s History of Getting Away With Racist Remarks Joe Biden has a decades-long habit of making overtly racist remarks, taking discriminatory positions and cavorting with known racists. https://www.heritage.org/progressivism/commentary/bidens-history-getting-away-racist-remarks A diary authored by U.S. President Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, describes showers taken with her father when she was a child as "probably not appropriate."

The Democrat voters didn't vote for her.

It was previously one per day, now it's two.

For vehicle leases, it's the same as any other bank, they give you a card which you scan to pay your installments using whatever Thai bank you want.

I doubt that. There is something disturbing in the daily Trump threads, in which the same manic crowd never fail to show up and vent whatever issues they have. It reminds me of Orwell's two minutes of hate.

It's a fascinating mental condition. If Trump was no longer around, they would have withdrawal symptoms.

Get your shots, everyone, Pfizer has quarterly revenue goals to meet.

Okay, interesting to know they grant loans to foreigners, but don't allow them to open bank accounts.

Yes, though I will not disclose any details here, I can assure you with 100% certainty that this is true. Do some reasearch on this forum, there are threads on it.

Tisco is actually the most farang-friendly bank to my knowledge, they issue loans to people with foreign-sourced income. Seems you were dealing with an incompetent employee.

Any idea what the reason is?
