Re: Hua Hin Town Plan nears approval after nearly a decade in development
Looks like the need for some new bar areas has been forgotten again.

Re: Thai Social Security
If I've not heard anything about he age eligibility for Thais joining the 435 Baht a month scheme, I'll head down to the Social Security Office on Phekersam road, and post anything relevant.

Re: Thai national health insurance for foreigners
BB, I think 60 is considered pretty old in Thailand! I read that not so long ago, the majority of Thais' used to die in their late 50's? I still feel relatively young even though I also have six score on the door. :roll: My thoughts with the insurance, is that if the parents need more expensive trea...

Thai Social Security
I know the thread title is for foreigners, but I want to find out if Thai nationals, nearing 70, can opt into the 30 Baht or 435 Baht schemes run by the Thai government. The elderly parents of Mrs Robinhood still farm, and pay as they go at the local hospital in Issan. It might be a good move for me...

Re: Hua Hin hospital special medical clinic
Excellent article 404cameljocky. I think the requirement for the yellow Tabian Taan or house book registration is for the insurance after you leave your employer. While you work for your employer, they will deduct the fee from you salary. I think the key point is to realise you have six months after...

Re: Hua Hin hospital special medical clinic
My superficial understanding is that Thai's and Farangs with Work Permits can opt to pay into the 400B scheme. I know Thais who pay 400B into the scheme every month at 7-11 They get their medicine free, subsidised dentistry (they pay the first 900B) and, things like scans at very low prices. One obs...

Re: Hua Hin hospital special medical clinic
Hi, I've been following threads about the Premium Clinic/SMC Clinic for a few years now. I always thought SMC seemed a reasonable offer for Falangs who were prepared to pay a little more to avoid the worst of the queues at HH Hospital. This year it feels like SMC have reduced the services offered, m...

Re: Thailand ranked 'very low' in English proficiency index
What's the point of an English proficiency index?
If I conducted a Thai proficiency test in my hometown, in The U.K. The result would contain a zero ot two

Re: Electronic cigarettes/vapes in Hua Hin and Thailand
Only in Thailand.
Vaping is illegal, but smoking Cannabis* is legal.
I'm personally not interested in either, but don't mind what others do as long as I don't get the smoke/fumes.
*for medical reasons 55

Re: Kao's many meanings
Another I don't think has been mentioned.
เข้า or Koa, short with a falling tone means enter.
Not to be confused with ข้าว, meaning rice which is long with a falling tone.

Re: Legitimate massage
Another legit massage shop is Lucky Massage, close to Market Village, the cleanest massage shop I've seen.
About 100m south of MV with a green colour scheme.
