I finally got it on Monday. I did not go through a broker, but applied directly to AXA, maybe that one of the reason for the delay.

No, that would not be the cause of the delay. It is most likely attributable to one of the following reasons;

1. Verification of the information provided in the application.

2. Payment clearing.

If you answered yes to any of the health related questions, then depending upon the weighting given to the question,there is a strong likelihood that the underwriter would contact the health care facility or provider you gave in the details section. If the answers to the questions are not provided in a timely manner from the third party, it will delay the approval of the application for coverage. Also, the names of applicants are supposedly verified to prevent fraud. If you cannot be verified, then this can also cause a delay.

If you are concerned, use the email contact facility and make the inquiry. AXA Thailand is subject to the same client service standards as AXA elsewhere and you will get a response.

Sorry but 'no' : 1 - the verification was done and dusted 4 weeks ago (which is why he had to sign the document to agree) and 2 - payment clearing does not take 4 week

Use a Broker !!

Seriously, prk888, Chinese curries, like their Thai counterparts, knock the sox off Indian ones.

Keep smiling.

I had to check the date this was posted and was surprised to find it wasn't 1 April!!

If you are talking curries, has anyone tried the Jap curry shop called CoCo the top of Central ? THE best curries (in the world) are obviously Brit Indian curies but I have to admit after going to CoCo a few times I am impressed !

The original plans were to release it in Q3 this year, but this has been set back due to parts shortage from Japan. Could now be delayed until Q4 2011 or Q1 2012.

can a new engine/auto be expected, or will they continue the dated and lazy 1,5/4 speed?

The "dated and lazy" (now more than 9 years old) 1NZ-FE 1.5L remains, with same old 109HP output, but will be mated to a CVT transmission.

However, It's not yet clear whether the CVT will replace the 4AT alttogether, or be offered in higher badged models only.

CVT version will aso get a stop/start system, for better fuel economy.

Can you explain how the AC works when the engine is "stopped" e.g at the traffic lights please ?

Fingers crossed this one survives

doesnt the insurance cover the cost of a new car????????????????? i cant understand why they are giving her a car?

They probably knew it was the cop who shot her in the cross fire. To avoid slander and defammation of facts fired at the Police.

Insurance companies will never pay for the full price of a car unless you are a well known politician, a celebrity, pretty much anyone who has ties that can cause the insurance company to be a credit risk, for regular individuals in lower or middle class can forget about it. Rights are mostly favorbale to the rich and famous.

Who said the insurance company should pay the full price - all it needed was a few holes filling in .....................

This Songkran's so-called 'seven dangerous days', from April 11-17

Who are they kidding - it's still full on in Pattaya - and today will see the most accidents !

Tells me it's a broken link !

You mean that you were serious?

I feel the question should be are you serious - or do you really know nothing about Pattaya ?

Does this include foreign Seniors ...............................

I find Google Talk at times can be quite slow in Thailand so I use WhatsApp which seems to much faster - nearly as good as BB Messenger !

Thank you chaps for all the help :jap:

Thanks chaps for the ideas :jap:

Need to find a good pub/restaurant to watch Sunday's Formula 1. If possible one where you can watch the race properly i.e. with a large screen ? Also if they can offer a good Sunday roast even better !

Cheers

It does that for me.

I wanted to take a screenshot but when I click on the sniping tool the URL list disappear again

Edit - just remembered the old shift-printscreen ....

Used to use ScreenGrab (and still listed in my add-ons) but not showing the usual icon in the bottom right - anyone know how to get it back ?

Talk to Garry, AA Ins Brokers at Meechoke Plaza - 084 805 8815

What a prick - should think it will not happen but they throw this garbage out of the country

Let me first say I know nothing about cows BUT why are so many dead ? The average temp is 17 they say which, in many parts of (say) Europe, is a heatwave - cows can survive at much lower temps .................... or am I missing something ?

From The Nation :

Unseasonably cold weather in the North has killed more than 2,000 head of cattle in Chiang Mai's Omkoi disฌtrict, with a sharp temperature drop to 7 degrees Celsius in some areas over the past few days.

In Chaiyaphum, where the average temperature has been 17 degrees, farm workers have been advised to make bonfires to keep their cattle warm.

Things will change once they start making them in Thailand

Simple - the best in town is AA Insurance brokers up by Big C south - ask for Da 081 7822 196

Down a bit from 11,000,000. Things must be getting better.

I got "About 1,130,000 results (0.15 seconds)". Looks like they have fixed more than 5 million problems.

And I'd suggest that whoever is in charge of purchasing in your office should be fired (sacked), or promoted. Obviously this model is a PoS; anyone who did any research before purchase would have steered clear.

Well the research was done by one of my local team .... but I signed the purchase order .... so it's all my fault ... as usual .. but I think I'll give myself a break. The office phones are a different model but display the same fault.

I don't understand Google - but it seems to get different hits depending on which Google site you use?

But the phones and the customer service still suck.

Think we'll shift to LG?

HTC are the way to go - the best !!

AIS is 799 but that is only for data I THINK. Voice & SMS extra.

If that is not correct SORRY.

Correct

Have use this with success : Galvafroid

Do not know where to buy in Thailand

Thanks Guys

Thai visa my first port of call, suggested I try Saga in the UK ?

Good idea for the elderly - not bad rates !

The one we use is AA Insurance Brokers - talk to Gary 084 805 8815

there are many other airlines to choose from - so complaining about thai is strange.

they capped their fare to 16k one way, and, I believe, there are special fares for thai citizens (probably financed by the government).

up to now not many thai wanted to come back home, a few days ago was quoted only 200 came forward.

with the situation worsening (uncertain nuclear fallout), many more would like to come, and this same time much less traffic to japan and airline will have to cover empty airmiles

Thai you say 32,000 baht is not overpriced 55555555555555 you are always joking. If you had all new aircraft you would still be overpriced. Travelling in old CRATES at top prices is not on. Your aircraft in general were old 10 years ago. If I get on a clapped out old bus, I expect to pay old prices--yes lower fares for lower class planes. for 32,000 bht people can get a ticket to ENGLAND in new aircraft.........If for instance Air Asia can sell from Udon to BKK-for 200 bht- and up on promotion. why is thai selling for over 4000 bht return. That airline has lost it's way, amazingly it still gets by with some loyal passengers.

Compare the travel time Thai to Tokyo. in hours flying, ===and say Emirates/Etihad to London in hours flying..same return fare..

Someone else who does not understand aviation. First, please read the cost is 16,000 Baht - not 32,000 Baht - for 1 way (obviously a return ticket is cheaper). Second, nobody is forcing you to fly Thai, fly another airline why moan about it !
