  Beaches packed with every nationality? Should the beaches be as they were/are in Spain? One for Germans, the other one for Brits? But don't go to the wrong beach, please. 

Your thinking about those chairs around the pools, Herr Jenny2017!
Haha!

Nope. Whole beaches were divided. I guess you remember the Mekka for all sorts of ( let's borrow BJ's word) "outlaws", including Marbella?

I tried to get insurance for a weekend in Brixton once, every company declined. 

Where in Thailand is Brixton? Oh, I get it. Àn attempt to add something meaningful to the conversation.

If you didn't understand, it means that it's absurd that Brits would be concerned about Thailand when it's more dangerous on their home turf. You're welcome!

Reading about what's happening in London lately I would have thought the riskiest place for Brits to go would be staying home.

A friend of mine just got jumped and seriously beaten with knife to throat etc all for his watch and a few bob.

I think the point of the report is because so many Brits go to thailand the British Insurance industry wants to get more insurance bought for that country.  So put this out and up goes sales on Insurance policies. Its a sales pitch document.

 

"The report highlighted the importance of having valid travel insurance, with 71 percent of claims being for medical expenses.

The report also found that 48 percent of 15-24 year olds don’t even bother taking out travel insurance, while 25 percent incorrectly thought the British government would cover medical bills abroad."

This Insurance report was a topic less than two months back. No doubt with the exact same types of responses..........

This is an advertisement for an insurance company, it was fake news back then and it's still fake news today.
Misleading people for profit and damaging third parties in the process, an insurance company is supposed to be trustworthy and this doesn't support that notion.

Having worked and lived in Liverpool for a number of years, if your Post Code is L8, your car and house insurances are raised substantially. Check the in-house stats before bellyaching about Thailand.

I will bet that certain Post Codes in England Scotland Northern Ireland and Wales are also raised because of the alleged high criminal activity.

init is a southern thing as i am sure you know. isn't it. the same way the yanks use yes at the end of a sentence whilst selling you something. it's actually a mind game. you don't say no so you agree. init. old trick

the thais. chai mai. same shit

Thanks for that... I didn’t know at all about it being a southern UK thing. Dublin has one hilarious form of address to anyone you meet that you have not seen for a while or unexpectedly meet “ Ah Jaysus... Howya “. love it ...and use it myself.

I think I remember a recent survey that found the same for Australians.

if you're white and British the most dangerous place has got to be the islamic city of London in the UK.

Taking a wild guess! Any place outside the comfort zone of your own home.

There are lots of homeless in Britain (including ex-services people).
