mania

I think there may be a misunderstanding somewhere That 52k is more than likely the 125

Man nuff said...Your opinion is penny wise pound foolish... Your a classic apologist of the few at the expense of the many Yet you make noise about Laos, Cambodia or Myanmar So how does Thailand step up while smoking & ask those to quit smoking?...Yeah never mind New Thai slogan.."Be a Farmer all forgiven no laws apply if you farm" So if the farmer murders another way they should not be on trial as you know they might suffer hardship & commit suicide

I hear ya ! I agree it is terrible how these insurance companies take monies as in your case when risk is low & they profit. Then when risk grows a bit they try to jack the rates an unreasonable amount. I mean I thought that is why you benefit from being with a company for awhile. They see you are in good health & have paid many premiums over the years so it is not like they have not already profited Yet as you say doubled in four years is robbery

Well speeding is the quickest way to travel to market Should we also let them speed & kill on the highways & of course not fine them as they are poor? Come on....Laws are enforced. I didn't say fine them or confiscate their lands but yeah if they continue to kill folks with lung cancer etc etc of course there is a penalty. Not using the land for one season is mild compared to the 26,000 bad air related deaths in 2022 recently reported

This burning farm waste or fields to clear for next crop is an easy one to fix I mean the perfect square rice fields are burnt at night & black in the morning & obvious what has happened Patrol & find these charred Rai's. Penalty no usage for one season first offense Farmers will think twice about clearing with fire if they cannot replant for a year of loss income About lighting forest fires...enlist the Thai people themselves who love baht more than anything Suddenly you have a deputized force of thousands patrolling looking for income Offer a (anonymous) reward for folks to film with their phones any fire starters

Sorry but that is not much of a "Solution" Like telling folks starving in a desert the solution is a Sand-wich ???? Seriously though it is something each person should really look closely at & decide. Because this kind of health risk is actually optional (optional maybe not for everyone but many can change their choice to live in such conditions)

Good luck to him & I hope he can snap back from this but As you describe his condition I cannot help but wonder what he will do with any kind of negative info from tests or checkups He will not be able to afford any form of treatment/operation etc This is a tough nut that possibly many expats will eventually face in Thailand, Everyone's health deteriorates with age & if they have low funds & no family etc back in their country of origin it will not be easy

This always sounds pretty good & in some case is the only option due to age or pre-existing problems etc But & it is a big BUT....These days 500k does not cover much of any major problems. Something like three million baht may be ok but.. The other thing is unlike insurance after you use your nest egg for a major problem or down payment on one....it is gone For many it may not be easy to replenish it quickly

????????????

Do you realize the "West" has stored enough nukes to end the world many times over in the territories of its Euro allies for decades?

Classic warmongering Ah right...So if another country wants to set up a base in the USA because they know for certain there are terrorist living there (even have WMD's ???? ) & they want to bomb them out of existence that is fine then right?

The Police who did nothing before the coup when voters were not allowed to vote? Or when the rabble overran govt house? 100% in league with the Military & following orders which would then supposedly give the military no choice<sic> but to step in & once again save <sic> Thailand from itself. All orchestrated No government can survive if the Military & police do not do their jobs or follow the orders of the elected government About qualifications don't blame me for your contradictions ????

Well that blows your previous "And that is her only "qualification". " comment away then doesn't it Because if what you now say is true then basically the qualification is now previously being a PM that helped many with health care scheme etc About any behavior triggering coup's that is far from the truth Truth is the treasonous military & police work for the elites that hire them to overthrow over & over the country of Thailand. Remember coups have been happening long before any Shinawatra The treasonous Military & Police of Thailand are jockeys who think they own the horse The real owners the Thai people themselves need to end this once & for all. If it is by force/revolution so be it. Freedom in any country was never gained or kept easily

It is not Hate it is the Dem's weaponizing of cancel culture mentality In reality it is a pretty dangerous weapon in the hands as so many sheep in the US are easily directed

Joe was doing similar in Syria before the ink was dry after being elected

There is a good reason for that ???? They would have been found guilty multiple times for actions in Vietnam, Iraq,Libya,Afghanistan & probably a few more spots

???? I guess some in the USA & France will be next then? Or should they have been first?????

This Topics page count is approaching half the total pages of the king james bible ???? Not surprisingly with about the same result of controversy. difference of opinion, belief etc etc etc Some folks love a good "religious" debate as do I (in a form of "wondering) but then again I have often thought of how silly it is for us folks to try & explain the infinite with our quart jar sized limited understanding/existence ????

Thailand has the worlds worst brakes

???? That would be a very short list of places that qualify for not needing caution

Oh come now is there anyone on either side of the law that didn't always know & love that about Thailand? Thailand was always the land of equal opportunity corruption Anyone & everyone could buy their way out of anything & that was a big draw For them now to try & pin it all on cops is silly You can buy favors anywhere in Thailand no matter how high up the food chain you go

Oh don't worry because if that is how you feel you will be very happy in 2023 Hear me now or...Believe me later Up 2 U ????

As some others have mentioned Assist Thai Visa is very professional & well regarded I used them years ago for marriage based visa extension & was really impressed
