Is Accident Insurance a Requirement in Thailand
I would say it's an essential requirement though not a legal one. The arguments FOR are scattered all through the AN forums in the form of multiply mutated unfortunates who have to resort to gofundme because they didn't think it was needed. Until it was. -

Phuket's First Government Cancer Center Gets Huge Donations - video
File photo for reference only Phuket's medical landscape is set for a big change with the development of its first government-run cancer treatment facility at Vachira Phuket Hospital, boosted by substantial donations totaling 1.5 million baht. This will fund a new Radiation Therapy Building. On December 5, Phuket Governor Sophon Suwannarat, his wife Busadee, and local officials officially accepted these donations. Lienkin Rakchon and family contributed 500,000 baht, while Wirat Songsaeng, Managing Director of Mukdara Beach Resort Co Ltd, donated 1 million baht. The ambitious project aims to raise 290 million baht to build a six-storey complex equipped with advanced radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, a chemotherapy unit, and inpatient wards. This facility, spanning 9,000 square meters on a five-rai plot near Pracha Uthit Road, is just 4 kilometers from Vachira Phuket Hospital. The hospital's development committee, led by Pramookpisitt Achariyachai, aims to secure 150 million baht by February 2025 to begin the first phase. Initial therapies are expected to start by September 2026. The facility will serve patients from Phuket, Phang Nga, and Krabi, reducing their need to travel far for treatment. Dr. Wirasak Lothongkham, Director of Vachira Phuket Hospital, emphasized the current struggle, with about 1,000 new cancer cases annually, half requiring radiation. Patients currently travel to provinces like Surat Thani or Bangkok, incurring significant costs for travel and accommodation. A fundraising "phaapaa" ceremony, a traditional Thai event, will occur on February 8 to support the project. It will be led by revered monk Luang Por Sai Thong Techa Thammo. The event invites everyone to contribute to this vital cause. Donations can be sent to Krung Thai Bank, Account Name: Donation for the Radiation Therapy Building, Vachira Phuket Hospital, Account Number: 805-3-11019-3. Contributions are eligible for double tax deductions in Thailand. For more details, contact Vachira Phuket Hospital at 076-361234, extension 0. -- 2024-12-06 -

Brian Thompson’s killing sparks outrage over state of US healthcare
My gripe is that even if there are prosecutions, the people who made the illegal and deadly decisions will be protected and the corporation will be prosecuted. As if they can send a corporation to prison for killing people. That was demonstrated clearly in the Boeing prosecution, where the people who decided to hide MCAS from the regulators and the customers are still walking free, in spite of hundreds of deaths directly attributable. Boeing shareholders are the ones who lost. And they weren't at all to blame. Just people who had Boeing shares, with no knowledge and precious little input. And the Boeing CEO was allowed to retire and none of his bonus or any pay was apparently clawed back. Like you, I certainly wouldn't kill someone. But I can't blame the people who do, when all legal remedies prove fruitless. -
