  1. Not knowing how long I will be in Thailand, does anyone know if there are any Thai Health Insurance companies where you can pay for health insurance by way of monthly premiums as opposed to annual premiums?

    Sorry there is not a company who will alow you to pay monthly but - depending on the plan - you may pay quarterly or half yearly. Please contact Thai Visa Insurance :

    Sorry, a bit off subject but....does this hold true for automobile insurance, also?

    Gun

    Your claim that I am substituting my words for his is nonsense. In each case where I have quoted the OP I have cut & pasted his words - this is easy for anyone to see. There is always the temptation when providing a weak argument to try and prop it up with wild acquisations and this is what you are doing here. Withdrawing your 'services' from the debate seems a far more sensible approach, because the only place your posts can go from here is name calling.

    You are correct in this instance, and I retract my statement.

    An unfortunate use of words, in the OP's opening post.

    Nonetheless, I still feel that the "anti gun" rants are out of place in this thread.

    Done.

    Gun

    It may not be my country, but fortunately it is not up to you to decide who replies to what thread - that is a job for the moderators and unless you are undercover then you are obviously not one. While the OP may not like the replies the fact that people are replying keeps the thread alive, and so far he has not asked for it to be closed.

    I am allowed to give my opinion that what the OP is doing is, at the very least, not in the spirit of the law. He is using his wife to get his hands on a firearm. His wife seems to have managed perfectly well without one in the past, but for some reason she now needs protection - I'm sure there is a story there. I believe that this way of obtaining a firearm is irresponsible, and I don't think that irresponsible people should be allowed to have guns.

    No sir, I am not a moderator on this forum.

    But I am mindful of simple forum courtesy.

    Although the OP has not asked that the thread be closed... he has stated numerous times that he does not wish to debate "gun control" issues and feelings in this thread. With that in mind, I would think you should respect his wishes and get off your bandwagon!

    As I said before, start your own gun control thread.

    Perhaps you should read the thread before replying. The OP clearly states, I should have all the legal documents done by the end of this week to own a gun in my wife name.

    Perhaps it is you who should read the thread (carefully), and quit substituting your words for his.

    I think you understand me. The main point is that I can not own a gun but my wife can. So the logical step is to buy it in her name. The application has been done in the local city and is now gone to Bangkok for approval. It should be back next week. With the official gun permit we can purchase the gun and I believe that we are supposed to register it again in the local city. It’s all nice and legal.

    In respecting the OP's wishes, this concludes any further "debate" on the subject, from me.

    Gun

    Incidentally, for the OP....the last time one of my "pals" in Phuket did this routine...he wound up purchasing a Taurus 9mm, through a store in Bangkok. (best place according to Phuket cops)

    A relatively cheap firearm in the USA, but if memory serves me, I believe he paid in the area of 35,000thb.

    That's about 3 times the cost in America.

  2. The girlfriend has been quite sick, with fever and aches etc., for the past few days.

    Two days ago, she (also) went to the hospital in Prakhon Chai. And was given some "pills". That was about the extent of the visit...very shabby and cursory exam, at best.

    Well, she said that after taking the "pills", she felt worse than before.

    Today, she went to a private hospital in Surin, where a competent examination was done and blood tests were made. Don't know the exact diagnosis (language), but she was given an injection in the "derrier", a bag full of med's and sent home to rest.

    I HATE that miserable dump, they call a "hospital" in PC!

    Gun

    Jeeeeze?????

    The OP asked a simple question about acquiring a firearm. He wanted some input, as to where the best place to purchase a firearm was, and anyone's estimate as to cost.

    The OP also stated that "they" had completed the required application for his wife's permit. "They" are doing everything in legal manner and are complying fully, with the relevant Thai laws!

    I've a couple of friends in Phuket (farangs), who have gone through the same process and obtained weapon permits, for their Thai wives.

    Obviously, the OP is seeking a weapon for self defense and home protection....9mm handgun. I agree with other poster's, that a shotgun would be a nice weapon for this purpose, as well.

    I am planning a move to Isaan, within the next year. And, I plan on having the "wife" obtain a weapon permit, prior to taking occupancy there. It's legal, and it's mine and my wife's choice to do so.

    Now please don't start in with the "well, you said YOU...a farang can't do this, blah, blah, blah"...and all of the "keyboard lawyer-ing, BS along with it!"

    <deleted>, why don't all the anti-gun proponents here, start your own thread, and quit hijacking this one. Oh yeah, it's NOT your country, so it doesn't really matter what you think about the gun laws in Thailand!

    Once again....the man (and his wife) are acting in accordance with Thai laws!

  3. There is a fish restaurant in Prakon Chai that has its own lake for fishing, you catch they cook.

    That's about 45km east of Nang Rong, it's a very busy road though and I have travelled it a couple of times by bike, not a pleasant experience.

    http://www.bankadon.com/

    Currently closed.

    That's a shame, thanks for the update, any idea of when/if it will re-open?

    No idea but Lamps did state somewhere in this forum that the owner had temporarily returned to Belgium to work. Couldn't find the post.

    Just to make everyone aware that TimeOut is once again alive. Ludo olfficially re-opened about a week ago. After his hiccups he is now re-establishing similar to before, however TimeOut stays closed on a Monday.

    The Bankadon website remains indicating that he is temporarily closed purely because of internet links...............this should hopefully be resolved later this week when his satellite links are re-booted.

    It is a fresh start for Ludo and he may require some time to re-organise................but local Farang support is important to someone who is voluntarily trying to provide a service for us Buriramites..................take "TIMEOUT" to pay a visit ................ :o

    That's good news, Ray.

    I've missed going there, during my last couple of visits.

    I see that their website is updated on Mar 23.

    Look forward to visiting, probably later in April.

    Regards,

    Paul (America) and Malee
