Travel Insurance

Has anyone purchased travel insurance for their Thai partner for a trip to the U.S.A.? I know it is not a requirement, but I am looking for recommendations for an insurance company and any experience one might have had regarding claims made for injury or illness. Thanks in advance.

Re: Changes in Embassy services

Last August I renewed my wife's B2 10-year multiple entry visa to the USA, and we did it online and by post. A few days ago I attempted to find the same instructions online at the US Embassy Bangkok site, and it appears that service is no longer available, and the renewal now requires a face-to-fac...

Thai Vietjet Airline

Just wondering about some of your experiences flying with Thai Vietjet Air from Udon to Bangkok. My only real concern is their on time performance and if they tend to cancel often. They have a time slot which is better than Thai Air for me to make a connection in Bangkok. They do get a lot of bad re...

Re: Ants

I don't know why I didn't remember this before, but when I lived in the U.S. fire ants were a problem. Similar to the tiny red ones here but much more aggressive. A few seconds near or on one of their mounds meant being attacked by thousands of the critters and many, many painful bites. Anyway, boil...

Re: Hearing aids.

Finally I have got to admit old age is catching up with me, whilst I have been deaf in one ear owing to a viral infection for many years, the other one is failing now, so much so my normally very patient wife is getting annoyed with me not hearing her properly so I must do something about it.

Re: a few good pharmacies????

Does anyone know where to buy 1% hydrocortisone cream? I asked at a couple of pharmacies a while back, but wasn't available. I know it can be purchased online, but I would prefer a local pharmacy. Thanks in advance.

Re: Motor Vehicle Road Tax Inspection - 7 Years

If your car's original registration date is 2016 or older, then an inspection is required on or before the expiration date of that registration in 2023, or one could say on the car's seventh "birthday" as defined by the date on the original "birth certificate." In my case I purchased my car in Decem...

I apologize for going off topic but I thought the OP might be interested in a visitor that we had here at our home in Ban Jan recently. This the first and only time I have seen a hoopoe in Thailand.
