  1. I moved into a brand new apartment complex - I asked my landlord about removing the plastic he said well you wouldn't want to sleep on that! As previously suggested buy a mattress protector mind you, you can carefully cut along one end of the plastic covering & slide it off then replace it when you move they can be folded up reasonably small.
  2. I'm an 80 yr old British/Australian expat without health insurance and it really annoys me when posters comment on what others should do or haven't done with regard to health cover. Before turning 75 I decided to apply for ins. I live a healthy life style not smoked for 45yrs only drink on special occasions and i'm practically a vego also don't eat dairy products and up until 2 yrs ago walked about 30klms a week - despite this I have moderately high BP and have had a few ops. the medical for the ins. was all good with the BP exception. the response from the insurer was a list of exclusions which covered just about every health problem I was likely to face in the future plus they upped the projected premium by some 15000bt. even the broker said he woudn't accept it. I also fail to understand why all health cover offered is International I live in Thailand and that's the only country I require cover for! The positive is I've paid nothing to these money grabbers and I'm pretty sure I never will!!!
  3. Hi yes of course you can. A friend died about a year ago he had an expensive new Asus laptop which his daughter who lives in England wanted. Thailand post have a courier service in the main Chiang Mai PO they also have a packaging service you just fill in the required forms I think it cost around 3500Bt & she received it in 3 days! Passengers travel domestically/internationally everyday carrying their mobiles & laptops!!
  4. Information re: WRlife can be obtiained from the UK Govt. Companies register which shows they're a Limited Liability Partnership - I have followed this company on & off it was registered in 2015 when it had minimal assets of around 6000GBP. I've never found anyone who's had a successful claim or otherwise with this co. I did speak to AA Insurance and also a broker in CM about them earlier this year both said they were an option but had no further info about them. I believe they have an agent in Samui but not spoken to them. It all seems a little secretive.
  5. I live in Chiang Mai where we are seeing a return of quite a few tourists mainly all Uni age NONE of them wear masks and all seem to walk around with no problem with locals who all wear them. I agree time to make them optional for a while then people will slowly forget them. As for not getting Covid I've had 3 vaccs but got but got invected about six weeks back two days of fever & a cough gone in four days!
  6. I lived in Maenam Koh Samui for around three years dead opposite the full moon party beach on Ko Pha-ngan also a speedboat departure point for the party goers. I used to warn any friends wishing to attend to really take extra care as what is not mentioned are the numerous assaults robberies and rapes that occur add to that the fact that the ocean becomes a toilet for some 5000 - 7000 people and the literally tons of trash that is discarded on the beach and sea. The other problem is that many of the speedboat drivers have also been enbibing so acciidents quite often fatal are pretty common. So if you feel that this is a Thai holiday essential I would advise caution!
  7. I posted a laptop to the UK about 18 months ago new Asus internal battery via Thailand courier at the main PO in CM cost 2600 baht + packing there's a service there arrived in 3 days.
