[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1855537]Are you saying accident insurance from an outside country? Because my motorcycle insurance in Thailand was easy to get. I just went to Kasikorn Bank and paid 2500 baht for the year.[/QUOTE]This one [URL]http://www.kasikornbank.com/EN/Personal/Insurance/Generalinsurance/AccidentProtect/Pages/AccidentProtect.aspx[/URL]

Max payout for accident Bt 60,000.

My Bangkok Hospital bill for a wrist fracture (it was not a motorcycle accident, you may recall I had emailed you about it two years ago) that required intervention and a night stay, was about USD 8,000. Thanks heaven I had travel insurance.

[QUOTE=Markly2;1853657]Coming to Bangkok in June. I only use cash. Is it best to exchange in Bangkok for the best rates? If so which would be the best banks to use. It's 's sterling. Thanks for any info.[/QUOTE]If you are staying around Nana, I would recommend Vasu exchange. It is right at the Nana BTS station. I have always found their exchange rates to be the best. It is open from 9 am to 6 pm and even has a website of its own. You can check the rates there.

I remembered what my friends had told me and declined the invitation. They appeared angry that I didn't want to stay. I live right around the corner from the place and told them I would just come back the next day for additional treatment.

This one I have for my son it is a addition to what the government provides but does not include coverage for damage to your bike or car, does not provide Third party coverage if you damage someone else property, bike, car. Coverage for medical for him.
,
2,000 baht per year. 1. loss of life, dismemberment, loss of sight. 500,000 B. 2. Medical Expenses. 5,000 B 3. Broken Bones, burns, internal injury. 25,000 4. Public Accident Benefit 500,000 B. Extended coverage: Motorbike 250,000, Dental Treatment 5,000, Murder and Assault. 250,000, Extra cash reliet 25,000. Half of the stuff I have no idea what they are talking about, here insurance is a mine field and Ala Cart?get

As for the staying overnight stuff... this has spread just like overpaying for the two weeks millionaire coming here. The hospital has realized this is where the big money is.. everything is stay overnight for observation. Go to ICU. I noticed one of my medical policy for emergency is 10,000B, I go in for a small cut.. 10,000 baht..it always seem to come cost to 10,000B, there was a time for the same thing 2500 Baht, you got a big fever oh better stay overnight you might have Dengue Fever although you do not have any signs of it. BPH, general stay now is 10,000B plus per night they give you a nice English printout you pay first then your Insurance back home gladly take care of the bill although it is out of your normal group with coverage is reduced by 50%, but that 50% still covers 90% of the 10,000. The hospital have gotten wind because they know we gladly pay for it. You think the U.S. is out of control!

Help needed please reply soon.

[QUOTE=JohnnyNeedsMor;1855667]Guys am an Indian arriving in April. Just Wanted to know how much cash to keep for visa on arrival. Will be travelling alone. I am hearing mixed amounts.[/QUOTE]You need 1000 Baht for VOA and must carry equivalant of 20000 Baht in major currencies. Even that is not required if you have a international credit card. Nobody has ever asked me to actually show the money at VOA counters.

This is just an excellent post on so many levels, it should be in the Threads of Distinction. It confirms what I have seen w / my friends that live there and my thoughts on when I am on vacation. Time is a monger's best friend if you want the very best you can get. For me I like it all but the gogo dancing stunner are my favorite target and they have all the leverage. They can be very picky and exclusive but w / time you can over come this disadvantage sometimes.

If one has the time to wait them out you have a much better shot and in many cases you can see them w / no BF. If you live there or spend substantial time there you will encounter sexy Thai women in favorable conditions (for the monger) more often. I will be testing the waters soon. Thanks again for the great intel.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;1855957]Crocodilexp, for several years I spent 2 + 2 weeks per year mongering in Thailand on vacation up until the early 2000's. Then I took a break for many years while planning my move and retirement in Thailand, which I accomplished a few years ago. Been living in Bangkok ever since. So I missed whatever was going on here ten years ago. But I certainly experienced what was going on 15-20 years ago. That being the case, I have to say I am getting laid and blown much better now than in the years leading up to about 2002, with much better looking young women, many with some of the best attitudes, affection and devotion I have ever had in any mongering situation I have ever experienced anywhere I've been.

HOWEVER, I have to attribute that to my now living here permanently vs being a bit rushed to pack it all in ASAP on a 1 or 2 week vacation, something I suspected would be the case way back when I was only visiting here on vacation and deciding I would probably retire here someday. There is just so much more leeway and allowance one can give to crappy service here and there when there is always tomorrow, always another day of turning this corner or that one and encountering one or a cluster of new girl introductions that will more than make up for what might have been several days of meeting and experience annoying, hassle-laden junk.

I am also meeting girls, much better girls, in ways and places I hadn't back in the 1990's and early 2000's. Dating sites, shopping malls, restaurants..[/QUOTE]

Hey guys, so going to be in Thailand in about a week, and I know this thing has been discussed before (of sorts) but for something like this it never hurts to get an up to date opinion as things can change.

What's the deal with taking Viagra / Cialis (one or the other not both) into Thailand? I don't strictly speaking need it, certainly not for my average sex life in UK but always nice to have a bit of an extra edge, particularly in Pattaya or BKK.

I've had my doc prescribe me some and was thinking of bringing 4 or maybe 8 pills. It's in its original small package, and the packet has my name on it. Should this be OK to bring in? I'm not particularly worried about getting it confiscated, just don't want any major hassles.

Or would people recommend not bother and purchase when I am there?

Thanks very much for the info guys. Genuinely appreciated.

The ruler has approved a decree today allowing the military to make arrests for up to 7 days without a charge for "incidents" related to certain crimes including corruption, gambling and prostitution.

With their unchallenged authority and power they now are self-enabled to bring any suspect to their knees begging for mercy, and close down any business they want.

What will happen? Without a doubt people will say that nothing will change, but that has to be seen yet.

This is all show and tell and smoke and mirror. All they are doing is moving all the stuff from the surface to the underground. As soon as the day comes after the Moaning period what I think will change is all hell will break loose.
