British Man's Urgent Plea to Save Dying Father in Thailand
Personally I don't believe in 'Go Fund Me' requests. If people don't have the means to take care of themselves during good times and bad, they really shouldn't be here..don't put their plight onto others. IMHO. Also the person this thread is about, looks far to sick and feeble to be flown anywhere, and should be taken care of here for as long as he's got. This is sad but there is a time when people just have to let go. Once again IMHO. -

'I need change for the phone.'
You do realise that you are asking Bob if it has any nous! 🤣 Indeed, I do...perhaps it was rhetorical. -

British Man's Urgent Plea to Save Dying Father in Thailand
"He came to Thailand for retirement? Could have saved 300£/month easily. This would be now enough (40.000£ probably) to take a fly wherever he wants." He wouldn't have to. Med-Evacuation insurance costs between 300 to 600 GBP annually. Like I said, people come here and don't plan. If I lived in a country with socialized medicine and chose to retire in a place like Thailand, I'd definitely have Med-Evacuation insurance in order to get me back to my home for medical care if I thought local health care was substandard or if I had no other means of insurance. Really.... elderly folk who have chose to retire here... a serous question for you: if you really believe Thai health care is substandard - why the hell are you living here in the first place! What's your plan if you need "quality health care." You should have either stayed home where you can receive what you perceive as top-tiered health care, or you should have retired to a place where there is - in your own mind - top-tiered health care. By the way, I consider the health care here to be very good even in the government hospitals. I should probably start an AseanNow poll. I'd really like to know how many AN members have actually seriously planned for major health care needs, especially their own eventually demise and the care they will need during the process of their body breaking down and dying. That would be an interesting poll. Knowing Westerner's aversion to death and dying in general, I'd bet most just ignore it. Here's some interesting questions to ponder from our beloved Expat Community: First - how many of the elderly expat retirees here ignore the fact they will eventually die? Second - how many of the elderly expat retirees here ignore the fact that their body will eventually get sick, deteriorate, and die? Third - how many of the elderly expat retirees here have a plan to handle their eventual sickness and then death? Fourth - for those who come from a country with socialize medicine, how many purchase annual Med-Evac insurance to get them back home instead of waiting for the inevitable and then starting a GoFundMe page instead - or - have an insurance policy with a Med-Evac rider? Fifth - do you actually believe it's your foreign office and embassy's responsibility to help assist you solve your health care emergencies when you failed to do the due diligence and plan for them yourself?
