A Night in the Thai Police Station
There are two lessons to learn from the OP. A few measures over the limit is enough to be prosecuted even though it might be pushing it a bit to call it "drunk in charge" A night in prison, cannot be an experience however it is couched to be a very nice one, however much deserved. Doing anything in any country that breaks the law predisposes the Offender to all sorts of possible abuses and unpleasantness that is perceived at the time to be "over the top" -

Moving to Thailand from the U.S.? Here’s What You Need to Know About Healthcare
Thailand's inviting climate, low cost of living, and culture make the Southeast Asian nation a popular choice for American expats. However, before relocating, one crucial aspect that requires planning is healthcare. Thailand offers excellent medical facilities, particularly in the private sector, but expats need to understand how to navigate these healthcare options, especially as U.S. Medicare won’t work abroad, hence the need for international health insurance like Cigna Global. Thailand’s Healthcare System: Public vs. Private Public Healthcare Thailand’s public system, under the Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS), ensures access to affordable healthcare. Expats working in Thailand may qualify for coverage through this programme. However, while the public system is affordable, it often involves overcrowding, long waiting times, and language barriers. Public hospitals in urban areas are decent, but rural areas may lack advanced medical equipment and specialised staff. Private Healthcare Thailand’s private healthcare sector is internationally recognised for its quality and affordability. Private hospitals offer state-of-the-art equipment, internationally trained physicians, and English-speaking staff. This makes them ideal for expats who want reliable care at a lower cost compared to Western countries. For example, an MRI in Thailand costs around $272, significantly cheaper than the $2,600 charged in the U.S. Private facilities are particularly popular for medical tourism, offering services like cancer care, orthopaedics, and fertility treatments at a fraction of the cost. Challenges for expats seeking healthcare in Thailand: Language Barriers: Many public healthcare facilities lack English-speaking staff. While private hospitals in major cities often have English-speaking staff, expats may still encounter occasional misunderstandings. Cultural Differences: Expats may find the healthcare delivery in Thailand different from what they are used to. Financial Considerations: While healthcare costs in Thailand are lower than in the U.S., without insurance, treatment at private facilities can still be expensive, especially for complex procedures or chronic care. Before your move: Evaluate Your Healthcare Needs: Assess your health status and medical needs before selecting insurance. Consider any pre-existing conditions and whether you need specialised care or regular prescriptions. Prepare for Emergencies: Know the location of the nearest quality hospital and have your insurance information on hand in case of an emergency. Why Your U.S. Medicare Won’t Work in Thailand Many American expats or retirees may be surprised to find that U.S. Medicare doesn’t provide coverage outside the U.S. and its territories. Medicare has strict geographical limitations, and even though some foreign hospitals may treat you in emergencies, the coverage is extremely limited. Medicare generally only covers medical treatment in the U.S. and its territories. While there are rare exceptions, such as emergencies when a foreign hospital is closer than a U.S. hospital, these exceptions don’t typically apply to expats living in Thailand. Healthcare Options for U.S. Expats in Thailand Without Medicare, U.S. expats must secure alternative health insurance to ensure comprehensive coverage. Some expats employed in Thailand may be eligible for the social security scheme, but this is often not sufficient for most expats, as it doesn’t cover comprehensive medical needs or provide fast access to specialised care. For most expats, comprehensive international health insurance is the best option. Cigna’s plans provide access to Thailand’s best private hospitals, ensuring high-quality care and quick service. Most international plans cover: Hospital stays: Coverage up to US$1,000,000 annually for major health conditions Doctor visits: Up to US$25,000 per year for check-ups and specialist care Chronic illness care: Full coverage for long-term treatments Emergency evacuation: Global emergency assistance included Preventive care: Screenings, vaccinations, and routine check-ups to detect and manage health issues early Custom add-ons: Optional coverage for dental, vision, or maternity care Why Cigna? Cigna Global is a leading option for health insurance providers for American expats in Thailand. Their plans are designed to fit the unique needs of expats, providing comprehensive coverage and flexibility. Global Coverage with Easy Access: Get care in over 200 countries, including access to 1.5 million doctors, hospitals, and clinics. The plans offer direct billing for easy payments. Flexible Plans to Suit Your Needs Silver: Up to $1 million annually, covering essential care. Gold: Up to $2 million annually, covering more advanced treatments. Platinum: Unlimited coverage, with premium benefits like home nursing. Efficient Claims Process: Submit and track claims online, and access 24/7 support with multilingual services. Enjoy the convenience of remote doctor consultations through Global Care On-Demand. Comprehensive Health Support: Coverage includes hospital stays, surgeries, cancer treatments, mental health services, and more. Preventive care options are available, including check-ups and vaccinations. Since U.S. Medicare isn’t valid abroad, comprehensive international health insurance like Cigna Global is a necessity as it ensures access to top-tier private care without financial strain. Thailand’s affordable, high-quality healthcare makes it an appealing destination for expats, particularly retirees. With the right planning and insurance, you can enjoy living in Thailand with the peace of mind that your healthcare needs are covered. Sponsored - Original article by The Thaiger -

Obtaining citizenship in the UK
Hello to everyone who reads me. I am writing this to share information in the hope that I will be able to help someone. So, I was looking to get a UK Passport and how i could get citizenship and I researched 8 directories and three forums. I excluded most of the sites almost immediately, they have a bad rating and are on scam lists. I studied several sites in more detail ... I also relied on numerous positive reviews and recommendations. In the end, I chose a vendor on T3l3gr4m @vanklof who for convenience, used this messaging platform for communication So, I made an order last week for the passport and the driver's license and I was also told that the delivery to my address will happen quickly, within 2-3 days after production. Yesterday, I received confirmation of the documents delivered in my mail box and it was perfect. If you are looking for a legit agent, the guy is reliable. -

American version of Adolf Hitler': Major Jewish newspaper makes stark Trump comparison
Estimates suggest that 10 million U.S. citizens reside outside the United States in 2020, a significant increase from 4 million in 1999. According to Eurostat, in 2021, approximately 10 million EU citizens currently reside outside of the EU. With a population 113 million in excess of the US, it seems the US is even less popular than the EU for its own citizens.
