OR JUST FIND THE NEAREST SCHOOL......AND WAIT...:

So the hunt for the sticker continued today.......reminded me of trying to find the "Scuds" during the first Gulf War..before Saddam fired them at Tel Aviv... We received an "alert" that stickers were being supplied at a school close to Huahin Village Market.....Immediate action...

Well It's good to hear that there are some stickers out there.......we had a notice posted outside out house advising us to go pick up our stickers at a location close by....so off we go...walked over to the designated sticker place and found about 100+ people milling about searching through lists. ...

Mork, which insurance was that? They usually pay for the health check. Sounds strange. I was applying for the Liberty Mutual "Mega Series" through AA in Pattaya Not only do they not pay for the medical exam....they even charge you 100 baht for mailing out the policy documents. HOWEVER.......

I recently had a medical examination (for health insurance) at Sao Paulo. Blood tests, chest x-ray and ECG....+ Doctor signed a form 8,000 Baht!!!!!! The nurses were nice but the Doc had the personality of a Sea Urchin.... I paid the 8,000....and had to go back with a Urine test the following day. T...

hi Mork, as you are an insurance broker we should ask you what would be the best coverage for us humble being here. By the way I am with Bupa for 8 years now. After three major operations still happy with them, but not my wallet..... I'm working on it Icebear!! It's not really possible to give an i...

I'm currently investigating Blue Cross because they usually do provide pretty good coverage. If your plan covers the US...it would be relatively expensive....No matter what company issued it. I don't need US coverage...and I'm quite prepared to retain a fairly high deductible.. Many of the plans I'v...

I have similar insurance from Canada....the problem is that it will only extend for a period of six months if I live out of the country permanently. I can get around this by returning twice a year and maintaining a residence there....but all that costs much more than the insurance! I believe many of...

I have spoken with quite a number of ex-pats who live in LOS without medical insurance. Reasons: Too expensive or too restricted for people over 60 years of age (esp over 65) Hospital care and doctors fees are relatively cheap when compared to western countries but they can still be pretty ruinous i...

Semi-diurnal tides are found in many places around the world. Not unique to HH or the Gulf of Thailand.

Yea.....billions don't really cut it any more....you have to talk in Trillions now...I suspect this is because many people can actually comprehend what a billion is...or maybe relate to it in some way....but a Trillion??? I love the "Cash for Clunkers" program. On top of massive national a...

Corruption is alive and well in the most highly developed countries as well as in Thailand. The really big difference is that in Thailand everyone from a lowly police constable or PO clerk can participate whereas back "home" you are expected to have a Harvard MBA or at least a securities l...

I'm fairly new to Huahin....been living here since Nov 2008. I am not a golfer and don't eat out that often any more. I do buy the best food I can find and we cook it at home. I buy a few bottles of liquor every month and I have a beer or two most days. I decided not to bother buying a car because t...

Is Micardis or Micardis Plus freely available at the drugstore, or do I need to see a doc for a prescription? Micardis is readily available in HH, but fairly expensive. There is a drug store just past Market Village on LH side that stocks it. Did not need a new prescription...just showed them the b...
