Travel insurance for Seniors in France.
Sheryl. Travel insurance, ( not Health) for Thailand .My permanent home is France , I’m 71, and have tried around 10 companies so far and only 1 « maybe ».. I was hoping to come to Thailand for at least 3 months this coming December, but will think twice if I don’t get insurance. I’m hoping my CC might be positive, it’s a Platinum so I have to call them tomorrow. I’m asking everyone I know here in France in my position. I’ve had no problem in the past, being age eligible, and stay in Jomtien 3 to 4 months.Apparently it’s the 70 cut off age the problem. -

Ex-Move Forward Members Set to Launch New Political Party
Former leader of Move Forward Party Pita Limjaroenrat talks to reporter with lawmakers from Move Forward Party during press conference at Move Forward Party headquarter in Bangkok, Thailand, Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) Just hours after the Move Forward Party was dissolved by Thailand's Constitutional Court, its former key members announced that they will unveil a new party this Friday to continue their political efforts. Sirikanya Tansakun, deputy leader of the now-disbanded Move Forward, hinted that the new party might continue to address the controversial Article 112 of the Criminal Code, which led to Move Forward’s dissolution. She stressed that the court ruling does not explicitly ban amendments to the article. “Everyone believes that the article is problematic. But we need to discuss it in more detail when we move to our new home,” she said during a news conference following the court’s decision. Sirikanya is speculated to lead a backup political party, strategically prepared for such an eventuality. “We will move on and will not abandon the mission assigned to us by the people as long as they support us,” she stated. Before its dissolution, Move Forward had 148 MPs. Five, who were part of its executive committee, lost their MP status due to the court ruling. The future alignment of the remaining MPs remains uncertain, with some expected to join parties in the coalition government. Former party leader Chaithawat Tulathon, speaking at the press conference, described the court’s judgement as “setting a dangerous precedent for constitutional interpretation and laws.” He warned that the verdict might undermine the democratic system under the monarchy by transforming it. Chaithawat, along with 11 executive members, faces a 10-year political ban, including the party’s chief advisor, Pita Limjaroenrat. Despite his ban, Pita affirmed his commitment to political activism as a private citizen. “We may grieve today, but tomorrow we will channel our anger and energy into every polling booth,” he encouraged supporters who had gathered at the party’s headquarters. Many Move Forward supporters expressed their disappointment and anger at the court's decision. Pita reassured them, asserting, “We did nothing aimed at overthrowing or being hostile toward the democratic system as ruled by the court.” -- 2024-08-08 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

Unidentified Woman Found Dead on Kata Beach in Phuket
Why the hostility? My comment is not stupid, are you a juvenile, still at school? Look at the hate in your reply, if you are unable to reply with descency, keep your nose out, mind your own bloody business. Keyboard warriors, can't scroll down, they must be nasty. Are you one of the weirdos I was arguing with recently, saying that a human with XY chromosomes can be female? -

Thailand unveils new visa rules, sparks mixed reactions
Thank you for posting that image from the website of the Thai embassy in London, UK. I see they were in the habit of posting false information already in 2019, possibly even earlier. I wonder how the people at that embassy get selected for their jobs. -

Thailand Parliament rejects pornography and sex toy legalisation
Parliament today rejected the Move Forward Party’s (MFP) proposal to legalise professions related to pornography and the sex toy industry. The decision was based on concerns about explicit advertising and potential violations of Muslim religious principles. MFP MP Taopiphop Limjittakorn submitted a draft to revise Section 287 of the Criminal Law to legalise professions related to pornography and the sex toy industries. Section 287 states that anyone who produces, possesses, imports, exports, or distributes indecent documents, paintings, publications, pictures, advertisements, photos, films, voice records, or other materials must face imprisonment of up to three years, a fine of up to 60,000 baht, or both. Taopiphop’s draft aimed to allow people to produce, possess, import, export, or distribute indecent documents, paintings, publications, pictures, advertisements, photos, films, voice records, or other materials legally, provided the content is not related to children or people under 20 years old. During the discussion, MFP MPs supported the revision of the law, arguing that the ban on professions related to pornography and the sex toy industries violates the rights and freedoms of residents, which contradicts the Thai Constitution. MFP MPs also stated that sex toys have benefits, such as reducing the number of sex crimes, stress, and problems among couples. Coalition parties MPs from the coalition government parties expressed their opposition to the revision. Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party MP Duangrit Benjathikoon stated that the revision had more negative effects than positive ones. Duangrit stated that pornography could lead to domestic issues, sexual assault, and sexual violence, as people might imitate behaviour shown in porn. Pheu Thai Party MP Cherdchai Tantisirin expressed concerns over explicit advertisements for pornography and sex toys. He did not agree to legalise professions in porn production but acknowledged that sex toys might have benefits. Cherdchai urged the MFP to draft a separate law on sex toys. Pheu Thai Party MP Teerachai Saenkaew also opposed the legalisation of sex content creators, saying it violates Thai culture and tradition. He urged consideration for the majority of people who disagreed with it. “Thai people, both men and women, are shy. Only some are shameless.” Teerachai added that the legalisation of these professions would not make Thailand more modern and that Thailand did not have to be the same as other Western countries. Prachachart Party MP Worravit Baru expressed his opinion as a representative of Muslim people in Thailand. “Muslim people can have sex and access sex education. However, prostitution and pornography production violate religious rules.” During the vote, the draft revision to Section 287 of the Criminal Law was rejected, with 284 MPs and senators voting no and only 145 Parliament members approving it. MFP MP Aitarnik Chitwiset later shared her thoughts on her X (Twitter) account. “Failure the first time does not mean hopeless the next time.” The MP promised to work with people who would be affected by this revision to gain approval in the next proposition. ORIGINAL STORY: Thai MP aims to ‘stimulate’ economy with sex industry legalisation A Move Forward Party (MFP) MP today announced plans on social media to legalise professions related to the pornography and sex toy industries in Thailand by revising the Criminal Law of Thailand. The revision draft is expected to be proposed during Parliament today, July 10. The MFP MP, Taopiphop Limjittrakorn, shared his plan to legalise professions related to porn and sex toys on his Twitter account today. “Today, the bill #UnlockPornSexToy will be proposed in the Parliament session. Please watch to see if it will be passed or not. Let’s see if Thailand stops being bullsh*t in the Parliament.” Many Thai Twitter users expressed their opinions under the post. Some agreed and cheered Taopiphop on while others opposed his idea, saying it would damage Thailand’s beautiful culture and traditions. Others agreed with Taopiphop but doubted the bill would ever be approved in Thailand. Taopiphop included the entire draft of the bill in his post, allowing his followers to see more details. According to the document, Taopiphop and his team aim to amend Section 287 of the Criminal Law, which states that producing, possessing, importing, exporting, or distributing indecent documents, paintings, publications, pictures, advertisements, photos, films, voice records, or other materials can result in imprisonment of up to three years, a fine of up to 60,000 baht, or both. This revision would allow Thai sex content creators to work in the industries legally. However, those working in the pornography industry must be at least 20 years old and must not include violent actions in their content. The document suggests that banning people from working in this industry violates their rights and freedom to choose a profession or type of work, according to Section 40 of the Thai Constitution. The proposed amendment is also expected to benefit the Thai economy. In addition to the pornography legalisation, another MFP MP, Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, will also propose the draft of the Fiscal Discipline Act in the parliamentary session, aiming mainly to make military spending more transparent. by Petch Petpailin Photo via Manager Online Source: The Thaiger 2024-08-08 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

How to plan an unforgettable motorbike road trip in Thailand
I have many trips north and south, the north is by far the best direction to go... I ride a GS 2up with the luggage, we pack for 5 days worth of clothing and do laundry 2 times along our journey.. We do 13-15 day trips and truly enjoy the adventure.. The views and scenery are worth the trip.. The roads are for the most part in good condition, with minimal traffic.... Great way to enjoy some of what Thailand has to offer.. I see motorbikes along the way that just aren't able to keep up.. They always try, but they eventually drop back and relax a little.. I meet some of the nicest people on these rides, locals, expats, tourist and the BIB... The wife is always chatting it up and making new friends also... I highly recommend doing this, proper license, bike and safety equipment is a must for you to relax and enjoy the ride!!! -
