If everyone jumped off a cliff to their death, should we all "follow the crowd"?

I can't believe the idiotic replies! 

Why should the insurance company pay, when the fool was riding without a helmet? If he'd been complying with the law, then they'd have no reason for refusal.

I wonder just how many WOKE tourists think that Thailand will cover  them

if they need medical insurance for injuring themselves.

  I guess there are idiots all over the world.  i do not like the extra expense of

medical insurance, but hospitals in Thailand are pretty expensive, if you have to stay

in them for any length of time. Get your insurance! Have a good worry free holiday vacation.

Nothing to do with woke.  It’s mainly the not used to traveling that don’t take out insurance. Very naive of course . Lots of younger people in good health also don’t think of the danger. Personally I think that Travel Insurance should be obligatory for all tourists. Then the problem would be solved, except for the fools that break the rules on motorbikes etc,  then insurance doesn’t cover them.

The BBC has just announced that Thailand has taken a huge step in advance , giving Thai nationality to the stateless ( migrants and those there because of  political reasons( war/Burma). This means that they can work legally and be covered by the Thai Health System.

Must say I’m surprised, but it’s a step towards humanity.
