Trump's Alleged Admiration for Hitler's Generals: A New Perspective from John Kelly
Actually, you are one obsessed with facism. That is why you keep bringing it up. I don’t see it in Trump. Only the lunatics of left see it yet they can’t explain why. -

What happens in case of accident when foreigner has no PVT Insurance (only social security)
Hello Folks, A couple days ago, I saw a terrible motorcycle accident happen. Person involved was laying literally 10 meters in front of the doorstep of a private/semi-public hospital. 3 Pickup trucks (Po Teck Tung) arrived at scene to dispatch body/injured to hospitals. To my surprise none of them transferred them to the hospital which was literally 10 meters down from where the accident happened! Yet this kept me wondering... I'm retired from working in Thailand and have my social security as health coverage (which i only use for minor / OPD issues). I still carry a Private health insurance covering accident/IPD (serious stuff), but as I'm aging and cost of private insurance will at some point become too expensive for me, I may as well just be left with Thai social security system alone. Now that made me thinking, what would happen *(hypothetically speaking) if I got a serious accident (or heart attack/stroke) and am not conscious anymore to explain (Po Teck Tung or Ambulance) which insurance I have and which hospital I prefer to be brought to? I can imagine the following situation... Por Teck Tung / Medical staff see me (foreigner) and immediately expect this person to have a private health insurance, hence you'll be sent to the Private / best (read most expensive) hospital in the area. Then after waking up from a coma just to realize / shock you are in a hospital you can not afford and stuck with bills/debt you will never be able to cover. Anyone else here ever though of this? Or am I over thinking this and my anxiety taking over here? Anyway, is there anything that could help the authorities/medical personal to know if I'm covered under SSO by looking at my passport, or best to carry always my Pink ID Card and a note in a my wallet in Thai language explaining which insurance I'm covered with and which hospitals I'd prefer to be brought to in case of emergency? Any other ideas / suggestions on this? Cheers, FB -

TRUMP: ‘I NEED THE KIND OF GENERALS THAT HITLER HAD’
"For the record, I never even thought of attacking China — and China knows that. The people that fabricated the story are sick and demented, and the people who print it are just as bad," he said in the statement. -

Public transportation in Phisanulok (Moved to regional forum)
No area stated, do you mean city or region or both, and no real question asked. If you are looking for information, first you need to give some, just posting a possibly ambiguous title is a waste of space. -

Biden calls for Trump to be jailed 14 days out from the election
Biden’s constitutional plan was destroyed by the Conservatives on the SCOTUS, when they declared that Potus have immunity! The old man doesn’t realize how lucky he is that they ruled in such a manner! imop -

Best place to eat steam fish in North Jomtien
Exactly! 20 steps away at food stalls I paid 5 for same small size and big for 10 THB. KISS menu price for "plain rice" is 15 THB. Clearly got ripped off. The only reason I paid quietly and left was my Thai gf didn't want me to make a scene... She remembered what happened at Immi not once but twice 😉
