I'm an intra month/trend trader:-) Do I qualify? /s

OFX -

But what situation are you put in if you take the advice you receive on Facebook and it turns out to be rubbish? At least if you get advice from the source you have some redress, take advice from Facebook and it's wrong and you have nothing!

Just wondering why you would ask Facebook this question rather than an actual health care insurance company?

Maybe their circumstances are different to yours?

I'm with you on that. Every day I need to refuse a motorcycle trip with my work colleagues as that is how they get around Bangkok. I walk or catch taxi at my own expense as no BTS near our warehouse. I sleep well.

This advice needs to be pinned at the top of this thread. I've been living here six months only, but have already personally seen two serious motorcycle accidents involving farangs. One of them, a young lady whose life will never be the same again unfortunately.

The freedom and wonderlust of farangs (or anyone really) riding motorcycles in Thailand without a helmet usually only lasts as long as ones next accident. The human body degloved in any way is not a sight that is easily forgotten.

I agree 100%. Just confirms that the advice people ask for and receive here on FB and other social media sites is useless, deceptive and potentially expensive.

People need to get their advice from the correct source rather than from social media sites. Stop being lazy.

This thread has embarrassed me into signing up to a course just now.
