Krystian Siek Don’t watch TV. Mrs has several friends who are domestics and nurses at our local hospital. We get good information.

Krystian Siek Slight change of subject. In Thailand not yet. In U.K. only began to roll them out in the last week. However, in my small town South of Khon Kaen our local community hospital have only lost one Covid patient. She was an elderly Chinese lady who had refused all vaccinations.

Great deal. Your suitcase alone (not including contents) might be worth that. If lost by airline you could get some money back but not if stolen from hotel room. Then there’s compensation for delays and cancellation. If you came off a moto you might need X-Rays and CT/MRI scans.

Agree with all. Book directly with airline. Once booked with agents for a multi-leg flight. One of the transits was at minimum time for that particular airport. Incoming flight retimed for 10 minutes later. Asked the agent to rebook me on an earlier flight. The response was; ‘No, it’s only ten minutes difference’. Stressed me out. Never again.

If she needed to go to hospital why were the police not involved? Having said that, from experience, blame doesn't come into it and I'm almost certain the police would have made an order for you to pay for any medical treatment (not covered by Thai NHS), repair of her moto plus a mutually agreed amount of compensation for her injuries.

Try ‘VYKE’. For £12 per annum you rent a virtual U.K. mobile number. You can receive OTP’s and make and receive voice and SMS anywhere in the World using either mobile data or WiFi. Works perfectly for me.

Best thing I've ever read!

Taxi fares have increased considerably. Have booked from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Third Road, Pattaya in May. Four passengers so a luxury van instead of a car. My usual guy so not a rip off but it's 2,000 baht.

I'm at the point of applying for both motor car and motorcycle licences. A neighbour's wife gave the Land Transport Officer 2,000 baht for each licence. No questions or tests required. Either that or an agent sounds like the best plan.
