It's unfortunate but at private hospitals you must negotiate the price first or you will get ripped off every time.

Well, she is still alive. If this happened in her native country she would probably have suffered serious injuries.
She should feel right at home.

After much thought I have finally decided enough is enough after 17 plus years. I am tired of jumping through the hoops that Thailand now seems to put most of us foreigners through. I have been to several other Asian countries in the last few months to check out the conditions to repatriate to and have made my decision. I wish you all success and happiness in your decisions.
Where are you going?

I enjoyed paying much less for very good Mexican and Indian food there. Taxis in DaNang were very cheap and a quick way to get around. I might try to get a long stay in a hotel there as the breakfasts are amazingly good with many options. This was my fourth time there and I actually think it is better than Thailand.....and this mandatory health might be the final straw. Even the wife and kids loved the place, but her working there might not be possible. Everybody spoke to her in Vietnamese as they thought she was one of them. And it was cooler there.
Where did you visit? I'm seriously considering other options as well. Thailand has gone down hill since the control freaks took over.

By The Nation

A 15-YEAR-OLD girl’s recent attempt to bury her newborn baby alive, apparently out of fear that others would find out about her pregnancy, underlines her desperation and the crying need for help, according to activists and social workers.
“I hope the relevant authorities will focus on remedial measures and rehabilitation, not punishments,” AIDS ACCESS Foundation director Nimit Thien-udom said.
His comments came after the girl was arrested in her hometown in the Chumpuang district of Nakhon Ratchasima province last Thursday. There is the possibility that she may be charged with abandoning her child and attempted murder.
Police were able to trace to her, after receiving reports that she had bought unusually large quantities of sanitary napkins. Her baby boy was rescued in time from under the soil.
A local man Usa Nisaikha, 41, heard a dog barking and a baby crying in a cassava plantation in Tambon Thalad and hence rushed to the spot. He saw a part of the baby and quickly pulled the child out of the soil.
The parents of the 15-year-old girl have now expressed their intention to take care of this baby.
Somwong Uraiwattana, deputy director of the AIDS ACCESS Foundation and the head of Aids and Unwanted Pregnancy Hotline 1663 project, said the issue of women and girls who had unwanted pregnancy acting in desperation – as in the case of this teenager – stemmed from Thai authorities’ policy to deny them the right to abort.
“Such cases of girls suffering life-threatening massive bleeding and injury from undergoing illegal abortion or disposing of foetuses at places would also persist if Thai society would not give enough options to those having unwanted pregnancy,” he warned.
He pointed out that Thai society’s negative attitudes towards premature sex and unwanted pregnancies did not help establishing a good system to provide options to these affected women and girls – the later of whom also weren’t taught sex education in school in the way that was relevant to lifestyle. So, when they had a problem, they acted out of desperation.
Nimit said that when such cases happened, the media should not rush to label the girls or women involved as “horrible mum”, “cruel mum” and “loose woman”.
“Just report facts and try to offer solutions to such problems,” he said.
According to him, related state agencies must ensure the teens in need of safe and legal abortion would get it as per the Prevention and Solution of the Adolescent Pregnancy Problem Act 2016. Also, there should be easier process for women with unwanted pregnancy to hand over their babies to adoption or welfare homes
Abortions are legally allowed in Thailand only when pregnancies result from sexual attacks, there are serious foetus development problems, or it could hurt the physical or mental health of the mothers-to-be.
As it should be.

All Thai boats change their oil in the sea. It's part of the Thai culture just like noise, smoke and litter it's macho. TIT

I wonder if mounting children on the front of motorcycle so they are crushed by their parents in case accident might be a contributing factor? Just a guess..

If that regulation extends to school transport then my neighbor could have a problem. He uses an old Isuzu that has to be at 20 years old!!
No, school children are the equivalent to cattle or pigs being led to the slaughter. Not applicable.

That's exactly it! Also the way they go to the far left lane to make a right turn is the standard method here. It's incredible really. RIP.

Nope... You've barked up the wrong tree, jumped to the wrong conclusions, made the wrong assumptions...
Orton Rd described his Wife's accident quite clearly along with a photo in another thread he started last week.
His Wife was turning right. A motorcyclist who was riding the wrong way into on common traffic on the wrong side of the road rode into the side of his car.
Motorcyclist clearly in the wrong breaking at least 1 traffic regulation. The BiB have tried to pin the blame on the Wife (car driver) - which is clearly unfair in this case.
They all think it's perfectly normal to drive down the wrong side of the road here. The cops even do it. How dare she get in his way!

First of all, the leafs are not a waste of time... from a real grower.
CBD oil mixed with tobacco leafs is not a waste of time! Could kill the pain of cancer in the lungs. A big selling point to hook manly young Thai males looking to blow smoke. This will be great for the Thai tobacco industry.

Many Europeans prefer to avoid the Chinese hordes so their numbers of visitors to Thailand will only tend to diminish even more.

So medical insurance for tourists is only 100 THB? Wow, that is a good value. What could go wrong?
