Briton's Dream Anniversary Trip to Thailand Turns into a Medical Nightmare
I’m from the UK but lived in Thailand most of the time from 2004 - 2016. That is until my existing health conditions required regularly hospital visits. So now my Thai wife and I live in the UK and just return to Thailand for December, January and February each year, if we can afford it. I’m 73 years old now and the travel insurance premium went up after my 70 th birthday. For our current stay (which ends tomorrow 🥹) our 3 months travel insurance cost nearly £2,000. That is for both of us, but I think about 80% at least was to cover me. I am not a wealthy man, but we want to come here, and insurance for me is a necessity. In all the years (1997 to today) my pre-existing medical conditions have never been a problem! However, in January 2018 I got an infected insect bite on my toe, which very quickly became serious. It was a flesh eating infection and the back of my lower right leg continued to be eaten away for the first week in hospital. My infection level was super high, the doctor was afraid of sepsis. I could have died or at least lost my leg. 2 weeks in Bangkok hospital, no ICU, or operation, just bed and antibiotics cost my insurance company over 700,000 Baht. There’s no way I could afford that! You have to declare ALL pre-existing conditions to the insurance company because if you don’t and there’s a big payout, they will want to see your medical records. If you get hit by a truck but do didn’t declare you had high blood pressure, they will use that as a get out. For the insurance policy you have to sign to agree with this. I wish this lady well, very much hope she recovers quickly and is able to get home ASAP, but I advise everyone to get insurance. -

Pattaya Bars Empty Amid Low Season and Shifting Tourism Trends
Well I think the same could be said for Phuket, Samui, and Chiang Mai. There is a different element here these days, there's a far lower quality of tourists, they're not spending as much and the nightlife has diminished dramatically from what it used to be. There are still plenty of bars but they're loaded up with older and considerably larger women than back in the day! From my point of view the only exception to that is Bangkok, as you can still find very hot women there. You just have to pay a whole lot more than you used to! -

Japanese Tourist Pickpocketed on First Day in Pattaya, Frustrated by Police Response
In that case.. Yes.... I understand your point. I recall a 'friend' ( a police officer ) refusing to 'return an escaped prisoner to the north because he'd be expected to pay his own flight ticket and hotel. When they (the BiB) have to buy their won uniforms and guns then we can start to see the size of this issue. Nevertheless, they are not completely 'devoid' of resources.... It doesn't take anything other than a radio and effort.... to position police offers down-stream from traffic lights to catch red-light jumpers. Equally so... it doesn't take anything other than 'effort' for the Policemen to walk out at any junction with stopped traffic and issue fines to all those without seatbelts... ... It doesn't take policemen anything other than effort to 'stop those riding on sidewalks' and fine them.... The truth is - even without decent resources, a lot of police work could still be carried out if they weren't so apathetic..... All the police seem interested in doing is 'rising' within their ranks to get a better cut. -

Police Crackdown on Illegal Activities Across Bangkok
Thank god we've been saved from this lawlessness 🙏 I'm curious as to why the exact same series of raids has been reported so differently by various media outlets. The Nation gives the same statistics, but also says that: "One significant case involved the arrest of both Thai and foreign suspects accused of smuggling medical supplies worth 140 million baht for illegal sale. Police seized 41,500 medical supply items and 1.2 million baht in cash. "In another case, a suspect was arrested in possession of 509 kilogrammes of crystal methamphetamine." https://www.nationthailand.com/news/general/40046511 -
