What should I know about medical insurance and payment expectations in Thailand?

Jx ******

Sorry to hear this mate, however it is common for majority of insurance providers to pay later or with a slight delay.

Hospitals/doctors nearly always require a portion upfront. This should be refunded to you soon via insurance.

A lot of people don't really know this however so I understand if it's a shock.

How do I successfully reopen a frozen account with Bangkok Bank?

Jx ******

yes I remember, HSBC copped the fine and locked the launders and bad actors accs. They didn't do the lazy " block 10s of thousands of accounts" strategy and make it our problem.

100% mate. People think oh it's unlocked so I'm ok with it.

The fact is was locked in the first place is an issue.

Sure they have a Chinese laundering issue but dont make that my problem.

Bank offshore dont mess with South East Asian banks.

Why are there so many sarcastic comments on expat groups about Thailand?

Jx ******

You book a trip first, give very little info on your nationality/passport status.

Then can't even do basic google...

I wonder why people are sarcastic, I wouldn't book a weekend holiday without checking the bare basics first.

What are the options for foreigners to buy a house in Thailand, particularly in Pattaya?

Jx ******

definitely wouldn't take advice from someone who tells people it's good to buy in Thailand.

As for Australia's market im okay thanks. Wasn't asking for advice. I'm very well diversified but for the average joe blow it's far better to avoid Thai. If you think otherwise you are clueless.
