20secondsinthailand Thailandrob is the guy who set up the go fund me page. Another you tube beggar who hangs around with hookers that his subs are paying him for. They are 2 of the same sort. The money wont go to waste, it will be enjoyed.

Thailand Rob is the biggest begging scammer on youtube, he should be deported for working without a visa. He collected 2500usd for a bar girl with a disability and only showed giving her 45k thb of the donations.

Yes, if u have been away for over 6 months u can have emergency treatment only. So dont tell them u have been away when they ask. Just give them an address. There r other criteria such as having your own home in the UK which override this but I doubt he has this.

You do not have to own your own home in the UK to be entitled to NHS.

Get the facts right...easy to do...just look on UK Gov website.

As has the point about gloating over another's personal circumstances ... there are some expats in Thailand who are of an age where an insurer will not touch them without a premium that is well beyond their finances.

 

       Agree 100 per  cent ,, they are many farangs  over 70 ,

   who have no concern / preparation  over their  medical conditions ,

              Relying on mates ,    no chance.

       Thai goverment , need  to have  a medical insurance system for falangs ,

           peace of mind , for the aged  in thailand.

He says he can pay for it but still puts up a gofundme. 

 

Just curious why does he not go back for free treatment ?

But he didn`t put up a go fund me, in fact he took full responsibility for his silly mistake. He has also brought out a video explaining the pros and cons of returning home for treatment.

But if he goes home he won't be the legend in his own lunch time that he thinks he is now. 

He's got it firmly in his thick little mind that he is a celebrity in thailand.

Got cancer, so let's call the news papers?

I still do not get it. Don't you have to be alive and healthy to continue to be a legend? I am sure he could find a flight back over on one of these thimgs called airplanes. It is not like he would be stuck there for life... unless I am missing something.

I did not watch.... but i can sum it up for myself:

 

pros of treatment at home - greater chance of living.

 

Ok, end of summation, no more data points necessary. 

 

I am being fully genuine now: do people really debate this type of thing?!

Sir, i have a question.
Why are people still in love with this useless, proven to be totally inefficient chemo??????????????????????????
It reminds me of this doctor, that was actually fired from a well known hospital, because someone AGAIN died from this stone age therapy and he asked his superior: why do we write on the death certificate, died of cancer? He didnt die of cancer. He died from radiation!
He was asked to keep quiet. He didnt. He doesnt work there anymore.
It is a fact, that this therapy is successful at about 2 percent of the time. Got it? Two percent. That means, you have a 98 percent chance of going to the cemetary.
I remember this woman, i know her personally, she is an attorney in the States. Eventually her stressful career caught up with her and got cancer. But she was intelligent and instead of murder therapy, she went to India to see some yogis. I am saying yogis because nobody understands the human body, the way a yogi does. In three weeks she was cured. No cancer. I know people, that went to Isha foundation when ill(instead of therapies) and today they are perfectly healthy.
I am not writing this to TV members, because they are kinda backward, but rather the man, if he ever comes across it. Why not just go to Isha(non profit), they receive you for free, feed you(not with croissant etc)but fruits vegetables etc, you know actual food. And have actual solutions for the issue at hand. Then when cured, you can just donate whatever amount you wish as a thank you.

Because he has been out of the country 4 years and is not eligible for NHS treatment without going private, which will probably cost him double again, jeez do people just get up and go and not research this stuff, pure ignorant. The treatment he will get Thailand will be just as good if not better than UK.

Probably HPV cancer, afflicts a lot of men, passed through oral sex with a female partner who has the virus.   My brother got it but survived due to radiation and chemo.  Michael Douglas Oral sex cancer

 

My good friend died of it.

Funny , no funding or even much talk of it around the world , while Breast Cancer is the new funding machine in cancer awareness ... we men really have lost the plot when it comes to looking after ourselves...

I'm 35 and I had pancreatitis that landed me in the hospital for a while.  Luckily I was back in the states and have free healthcare through the VA but your "age" doesn't stop medical problems.  Especially at 58...

[ibtg68]

Regardless of how one might feel about Kevin Burt’s situation, he made the decision to put off obtaining insurance until he reached the age of 60.  He took a calculated risk, thinking everything would be just fine.  Now he knows his calculations were off.  If nothing else, his situation will hopefully serve as a lesson to others in terms of what risks not to take with health care.  I pay for health insurance here in the US and will be purchasing health insurance for Thailand.  What suggestions might anybody have for health insurance coverage in Thailand?

[AmericanSafety]

Hey folks-

No need for the cynical BS. I know Kev personally and he is a stand up guy. He made a unwise choice not to insure, but who the heck hasn't made unfortunate decisions in their life. I've cut corners in the past in areas I probably shouldn't have, no reason on raking him over the coals. He lives an honest and frugal life in Thailand and if you see his channel, he goes about different locale showing off sites, tourist areas and has a good old time. Not the usual bargirl BS channel that are a dime a dozen. He's got a pay account on his channel and if you want to drop a few bob to help the guy out so be it. Good grief.

Pattaya YouTuber with cancer: Thanks Go Fund Me appeals, says he's cutting down cigarettes and putting off marriage

 

The Pattaya based expat who warned people to take out travel insurance has thanked two separate people for starting Go Fund Me appeals for his treatment.

[sawadee1947]

When he opened the window I saw him already jumping. 

He needs a lot of therapies I think.... And a good dentist and logopedic training. 

Can't imagine who might listen to this accent. 

I reckon he needs some creme to fix his dentures. 

 

[Greenriver]

Be carefully. Kevin Is a constantly E-beggar who goes from girl to another girl and from beer to beer. I dont think the GoFundMe money will go for threatment, but for fun in bars in Bangkok and for barfines.

 

 

He choose not to have insurance. He also choose a private hospital instead of a public hospital. Why is He so much better that ordinary thais?

 

A friend of me got cancer in Bangkok and went to a public hospital. He has carachter and self-respect and paid 30 000 B of his own money. No begging.

 

Kevin really  dont know how poor thai-people really have it.

He is a rich man Who recently sold his house in Spain, He has nice car, and a lot of money in bank.

 

I will also say that the bloke Who created the GoFundMe account is Worse. He is e-beggar number one in Thailand and use all his time to chase hookers in Phuket.

 

These vloggs beggers on YouTube are Worse than cancer. No respect. They should  Get a real work and feel How it is to work for the money. I will invite them to my girlfriends farm in Surin and pay them 300 B a day.

A newbie, signs up specifically to troll ... poisonous fingerprints all over it. One of these days it will all catch up with you ... 

 

Go Fund Me is optional, no one makes you contribute. Same with You Tube videos, you watch them for free, and only contribute if you like the product. What other people do is up to them.

I have seen one friend go through chemo and radiation, its rough. This guy seems alright, a bit hard to understand because of his cockney accent but he's got a fight on his hands no doubt. I always thought he looked like he was more in his 70's than 59? This has to be a typo.

Why should British taxpayers fund him?

Because he has no doubt paid tax and NHS contributions all his life unlike a lot of others who come to the UK and have never contributed anything. He made his own choice not to come back to the UK and therefore to pay for private care as he explains in his latest video. He hasn`t asked for anything and accepts that he made a big mistake in not getting insurance. Of course getting insurance in the future will probably now be almost impossible or unaffordable I would guess. It`s a wake up call to all those winging it.

I don't think Kev does anyone any harm. As for the defamation claim (made by another poster) I know of one comment he made about the wife of a disgusting human being ... a man who pollutes You Tube with crap videos. Hardly a major crime on Kev's part. The idiot in question pretended to be "defamed" in order to get Kev into trouble with the authorities ... yet the same cretin does worse

The defamation case was not related to the vlogger you are referring to. It concerned 2 women who he filmed having an argument outside a bar in Pattaya. I believe that he paid them both compensation, after it went to court. He also stopped making videos about girly bars in Pattaya at the same time. Some have suggested that the 2 were related.

 

The worst video he made was when he filmed 2 girls outside a salon, preening each other's hair. He likened them to monkeys. I seem to remember that he also likened the vlogger in question's wife to a monkey too. He's a real piece of work who has no respect for women, particularly Thai women.

Is that it? Seriously? He filmed two women arguing and likened the actions of another two to primates that preen in the wild, which is obviously a joke.

 

And that amounts to having no respect for women? 

 

If you dont like Kev personally, that’s fine, but don’t try to blacken his character over actions that are pretty harmless. If you have evidence of him beating up women, robbing them or sexually assaulting them come back to us.

Obviously there was much more to the defamation case than was revealed. Burt has never spoken about the detail.

 

If you think that likening Thai women to monkeys (on more than one occasion) is a joke, crack on. Not surprised that you're one of his fan boys.

 

Do I know him? I see him in local bars/restaurants pretty regularly and he lives on the same estate as me, but I have no desire to speak to him.

Question is why doesn't this duffus go to the navy hospital in Sattahip? Excellent doctors, excellent private rooms and, even if falang prices, excellent price.

I get treated there all the time. Maybe his arse is made of gold and he needs golden treatment.....
