I've said it before and I'll say it again, these campaigns aren't for funding anyone's treatment, they're for funding the family so they don't have to sell their cars, computers, expensive phones, etc. to take care of their own. I too have said before that any parent of a gap-year student heading further than Bognor Regis should spend 50-100 quid on an annual insurance in the childs name and sit on it 'just in case'....even if the child doesnt know they've done it or has taken out a policy in their own right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't say managing what. The story doesn't make sense as you don't arrive on visa exempt (which she did the D.Wail knows) and receive a w.p. 2 weeks later. Good luck to her. I don't understand why Thai hospital should not be able to treat meningitis or encephalitis. Both aren't rare exotic infections. Dangerous yes if untreated. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisperone Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 On her IG..she appears to be suffering from anorexia. No excuse to be travelling without travel insurance. If you can't afford the insurance, you can't afford to travel. Don't get caught up in the "It can't/won't happen to me" syndrome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post usviphotography Posted April 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2019 2 hours ago, Captain 776 said: Another broke Brit trying to play on hoping for generosity by the intellectually challenged. If it said .....need money for a ticket home, be one thing, but 25,000 pounds.......comical Medical evacuation is extremely expensive. And even if you have travelers insurance, they generally don't cover medical evacuation to any hospital of your choice. The kind of insurance a 20 something would be would only evacuate you to the nearest medical facility that can adequately treat your emergency. It could be a scam of course, but just as likely the Dad just doesn't have a lot of money and he's afraid his daughter is going to die, which is certainly a very real possibility with encephalitis or meningitis. It could very well be that a UK hospital isn't going to be able to provide any better treatment than the one in Phuket but if they are telling him it doesn't look like she'll make it or that she'll probably have brain damage you can forgive him for not thinking rationally. In any case, I think it is poor taste to label somebody who may way be flying home to England with his daughter's dead body in the future a "scammer" absent evidence. He's probably just scared and desperate. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if she had travel insurance, every short term policy I used to take out ( I since stopped taking them out) only paid by reimbursement to you after you filed/submitted the claim. So even if you had insurance the money to you could be a long time in coming. I never found a single one that would directly reimburse the Thai hospital. I am from the USA. I have heard that there are some international or UK offered travel insurance that might reimburse the hospitals directly, but I have no direct knowledge of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Quoted from gofundme.com page This update is in response to some comments being made about Rebekah’s situation regarding insurance. Rebekah has always been responsible and covered by insurance when travelling, and believe me I know, because I have paid for most of it. Her current insurance became invalid recently due to her immigration status in Thailand as she has a NON-IMM visa with the right to work. I am led to believe that her work permit, which was due to be granted this week, would’ve entitled her to medical care in Thailand but sadly we were a week short. Thanks James. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
