1Mbps. However, whenever I run a speed test I get up to 50Mbps (downstream) / 25Mbps (upstream).

I have pre-paid calls and SMS SIM’s for both AIS and True. Add-on unlimited data packages for both are 1,800 baht per annum. I have one in my main phone and the other in my backup.

Remember that you may need help from your immigration office in the future. You’re not going to get it if you’ve reported them.

Agree, it becomes a problem if linked with/for something else. Entering a U.K. airport with an outstanding U.K. arrest warrant isn’t a problem because U.K. Border Force aren’t police and have no access to or interest in the Police National Computer. However, there are police patrolling airports and if you raised suspicions……….

I was diagnosed with and treated for high blood pressure in 1986. It has remained normal with no treatment required since. I did seek health cover quotes prior to turning 65 but you can imagine the results!

So did I. 3,000 baht per annum from Bangkok Bank. The main reason was it provided cover if I came off a moto. However, that becomes excluded when you turn 65. I don’t have it now.

I bought a 12 months Personal Accident Insurance policy from Bangkok Bank in 2017. It was only 3,000 baht. As I was under 65 at the time it covered moto accidents. Didn’t see the point in continuing when what I considered to be my highest risk activity is now excluded.

Agree, delaying life saving treatment until money is in the hospital bank account is atrocious. I have heard that hospitals do this due to prior experience of ex-pats lying to their healthcare plan providers who then won’t pay up when previous medical conditions are revealed. Also agree that pricing should be based on the actual cost of the work, time, equipment, expertise and drugs prescribed. Unfortunately, this becomes irrelevant when people are unable to pay having made no provision for accidents or illness.
