Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more.  Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination

 

 

read that and tell me (with a straight face) that all of the above applies to ALL foreigners living in Thailand in 2024.

 

bob.

Dude - we are free to come and go as we please. Human rights don't include the right to live without restriction in foreign countries, and the privilege to live in Thailand comes with a very reasonable requirements. Human Rights complaints belong in the Ghaza forum 😆

90 day reporting is a violation of human rights imo.

it is inhumane and ludicrous.

[I'm looking for basic health insurance just for major emergencies]

 

I am 64 and need very basic health insurance for emergencies like a bad vehicle accident or a heart attack. I have coverage in my home country for non-emergency stuff like cancer and pay out of pocket here for minor medical expenses. I'm ok with a $USD5k-10k deductible. The international expat plan that I've had provides more coverage than I want, very limited on pre-existing conditions, and too expensive for my use case. Any recommendations for very basic coverage? Thai plans? Thanks in advance!

 

 

 

[Does anyone on the Forum is suffering from Psoriasis]

I've had psoriasis for 40 years and recently discovered Daivonex (without cortisone) and Daivobet (with cortisone) which worked great. The base is a synthetic vitamin D. I use the one with cortisone if it's a bad itchy flare-up - which is usually solved with one application. I use the one without cortisone at the first sign of a patch, and seems to prevent flareups well. 

 

These are expensive for ointments (800b/tube) but work much better than anything I've ever used.

From the linked article:

They searched him and found one Diazepam pill on him. 

 

Looks like it's time to get out of Thailand. This is out of control.

 

 

I gotta think he did something either very suspicious or very confrontational to get pulled out of a taxi and searched at a roadside down to a single pill. I doubt this is just overzealous cops at a check point, or a trend in Thailand 😉

True for sure,  but even more important is that they haven't figured out how to tax it.

The cabin crew would have assessed the situation, to decide if there was either a further risk or need to deploy the masks. The oxygen is chemically produced and not that pleasant (similar to self rescue devices used in industries). The cockpit crews masks are from oxygen cylinders.

 

The details on the cabin oxygen on an A320 are.

 

“The masks are located in containers above the passenger seats. Each container has an electrical latching mechanism that opens automatically to allow the masks to drop, if the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 14,000 ft. The flight crew can override the automatic latching mechanism and launch the masks from the cockpit and there is also a manual release tool that allows cabin crew to open them manually.

Chemical generators produce the oxygen. The generation of oxygen begins when the passenger pulls the mask towards themself and will last for about 13 min, 15 min, or 22 min, depending on the aircraft configuration, until the generator is exhausted.

The chemical reaction used for oxygen generation creates heat. Therefore, the smell of burning, smokes and cabin temperature increase may be associated with the normal operation of the oxygen generators.”

Epic overshare. Thank you so much 😆

Really???  Oxygen masks are for cabin depressurization situations so people don't pass out. Adding oxygen to a fire would probably lead to an explosion 😉
