Popular Post Don Chance Posted June 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2023 There are lot of little things that are dangerous in Thailand like improper foot paths, steps, low hanging ceilings, lack of railing, railing too low, etc. For a westerner there are lot of things we take for granted, then they are drunk and forget to be careful. You need to be careful all the time, where you walk. There are open sewers and sketchy covers over them everywhere. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbox Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Another day, another GoFundMe...this time an Aussie for a change. The alcohol level of 0.19 exclusion is pretty common in the policies, and requires some serious drinking to be exceeded. To deny it without a blood test implies she is way above that. The private hospitals probably don't do alcohol tests as they know the claim could be rejected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to a BAC calculator a female weighting 80kg and drinking 8 beers in 4 hours would have around 0.16 BAC. Almost double the amount of beers to get to 0.35. The insurers most likely have enough evidence to reject the claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC of .0.19 is pretty low??? How many DUI arrest have you made? I have made over 250 and some of these people could barely walk with a .0.08 level. It depends on many factors: recency of alcohol consumption, body mass and weight, drinking on an empty stomach and alcohol intake tolerance. This old saying is true: “Alcoholics make better drunks”.

DFPhuket Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Some people who purchase travel insurance thinks it covers every possibility. Mine does not cover illegal acts (riding a motorbike with no license or helmet) or accidents while under the influence. Here are my policy details. I'd image other policies are similar: The insurance under this insuring agreement does not cover any Injury, loss, or damage arising from or as a result of any of the following causes: (1) While the Insured is under the influence of addictive substance, or narcotics to the extent of being unable to control one's mind. (2) While the Insured is under the influence of alcohol with a tested blood alcohol level of 150 mg/dl or over. (3) While the Insured is under the influence of alcohol to the extent of being unable to control one's mind if no alcohol test is administered or the alcohol level cannot be detected.

grumpyoldman Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Very sad situation, there needed to be a step-stair there. Reminds me of all the people who get super smashed and fall over the low railing at a high rise hotel. Or decide they are going to sit on it and topple over. Which cartoon was it.(?)........."watch that first step, it's a doozy!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
