@Craig ********

yes it can. But generally, many things are dirt cheap.

@Tomasz *******

okay. Well the point was much of the medical here is cheap without any insurance at all. 👍

Don’t want to totally derail your intentions but chances are high the cost of most medical care here is possibly less than a co-pay in many other places.

I recently have been recovery from a bronchial infection. Dr visits and medications cost me a total of 600 baht (~$18 USD). That included a few medications including two antibiotics.

So the need for insurance is not as great and the frequency they’ll actually pay is low compared. Fwiw.

Use Google Voice!

Port your existing phone number to Google Voice ($20 for the switch). Free thereafter.

This makes it voice over IP. Works for phone calls, text messages and yes multi-factor authentication.

I have had zero problems in two years.

@Tod ********

I’m not promoting being outside of these dates but in my case with an additional year insurance my OA must be used by date was three weeks expired. At the border they didn’t date the 2nd year based on visa or insurance but the day I was physically crossing the border. 🙄

Fwiw. 👍

@Andy *********

some animals in the best of situations are going to freak out under the best care because they are afraid and don’t understand.

You are sensationalizing and painting a picture that is not entirely true to the context.

Bad things happen yes, but you’re overly generalizing.

@Andy *********

this is clearly a short range transport because of aircraft size. Do you experience the animals in the photo under duress? They are clearly labeled, comfortable and on average okay.

@Andy *********

I’ve transported dogs internationally a couple of times including photos while in route. Nothing like this BS image, nothing!

@Graham ******

nothing new. People have been coming here totally clueless for decades, nothing new. 😉

@Graham ******

yes. I’m trying to tell you that’s not entirely true! Different places, different reqs, mine required a proof of residence. I know this as at about the same time I also needed one for a DL (can’t reuse them) and the people I rent from were too dense to complete there own TM30 requirements so the whole process was like pulling teeth. In turn fairly hard to forget. 😉

It seems prudent to express all possible outcomes for people, not the least.
