What exactly is a Thai pink ID card?
I use mine to buy a purple Elder Card for BTS. Yes, they've hassled me exactly twice since BTS was built. -

dying from cancer at home in Thailand
Tramadol will usually not suffice for end stage cancer pain. Morphine or similar is necessary. Can be gotten, though through public hospitals can be a hassle and insufficient in dose (especially gor a Westerner....Thais are unusually sensitive to any sort of depressents so norm here is quite low doses). Privately, if under the care of a Westrrn-trained palliative specialist (there are some especially in Bangkok) adequate oral pain meds can be obtained and sometimes skin patches (they keep going off market here for some reason). The problem, as I explained previously, occurs when the patient can no longer take oral pain killers or they are no longer sufficient -- and in most cases that will occur. Cannot get IV narcotic at home here. Also the various other physical discomforts that arise in the dying process (e.g. choking on secretions, nausea agitation) will usually go untreated or undertreated at home. Except at a few private residential hospices there is a lack of expertise in handling these. Proper hospice care is more complex than people may imagine. Needs detailed protocols, special training and professional oversight. OP needs to consider: 1. Can he afford private care? If not, I would absolutely recommend staying abroad. 2 What sort of support system does he have in Thailand and how well prepared is the person who would be primarily responsible for coordinating his care? How well do they understand the hospice concept? How well equipped are they to advocate assertively with doctors? Hiring in home care givers is fine, but someone has to arrange and supervise this, as the patient will become unable to do this himself as the dying process proceeds . 3. How firmly wedded to the idea of dying at home (vs just dying in Thailand) is he and why? Is it more important than dying comfortably? Would he be open to moving into a residential hospice facility once completely bedridden and/or needing IV pain killers etc? (Should plan for/set that up in advance, and be under thd care of a palliative specialist gtom that facility ftom the start so that whoever is in charge of their care can effect the move eadily when the time comes). As previously mentioned, there are some good options in Bangkok. A lesser condideration but worth mentioning -- arrangements after death will be easier if it occurs in such a facility. Otherwide will have to let the poluce into the home and they will try to insist on taking the body for autopsy at the family's expense. Stressful business and not at all the same as when a Thai dies. -

You'll have to go ask *Biden (but he and his brains are a tad scrambled as is so typical of him and his liberal loser supporters). Here's a copy of the Axios released audio transcript of DOJ Hur-Biden classified document case interview. Biden is cruising Warp 8, out to lunch somewhere in the ozone layer.

Follow up on closed topic WRLive still ok?
Technically, AA has always been restricted by OIC regulations to using insurers licensed and regulated by the OIC. But asking for financials does not constitute placing business with an offshore insurer and therefore would not constitute a breach. I doubt AA or any other party would receive audited statements in any event, but I would be happy to be proved wrong. -
