  1. Up until about 5 years ago I seldom bothered with travel insurance, my naive reasoning being well I never have accidents at home so why worry when abroad. Then one night I got a minor bite by a dog and went through all the rabies jabs process. The cost of treatment was about 7000 B overall out of my pocket, but more importantly a wake up call that we are vulnerable and of course it could have been financially worse. Since then I have always purchased insurance, "just in case". Well just under 2 weeks ago one of those "just in case" situations arose and fortunately my pre planning paid off straight away. First off I ALWAYS have the policy in my pocket,(why buy insurance and keep it in your room or worse the safe if you then cannot access it in an emergency) along with a copy of my passport, the phone number of the insurance company highlighted including country code and enough credit in my Skype account to make international calls. Also I have the phone number of a local I know can help written on the policy, be it farang or Thai, it's just good to have someone to sort things while I am not 100%. In my case it was a broken arm, the insurance cost me 7000 B for my trip, but if I had not had it the whole experience would have set me back me an eye watering 390,000 B, just under 10,000 Euro. I did have to pay an excess waiver of 3000 B, small money when you look at the alternative. Seriously guys, if you are not insured or are but have it locked away in the room (almost the same as not having it if you cannot get someone to bring it to the hospital), get it on your person, save yourself a lot of hassle and travel around safely, this is not home.

  3. Greetings etgohm ! Don't mean to be nosey, but did the doctor say what caused that eye infection ? Coz sometimes im a bit wary of hotel pillows! You never know what they been used for before you use them, I watched to many porn movies to see what pillows can be used for, it may sound stupid, but I never use a pillow, I just puff a beach towel up and use that instead

  5. well, while that would be nice, its only a 3 hour flight, the costs do add up rather quickly to be getting flights and hotels even in low season. And as much as i would enjoy it I still have many places i want to see during my continued stay in china. using all that time just in thailand would seem a little foolish when i can see so many places westerners mostly never get to. my last trip for instance was Tibet->Mt Everest->Nepal. It does also get a little weird if you travel solo and are the only person in the bars. you become chum for the sharks. if i had a like-minded wingman to plan with i would probable go more often. ;3

  10. I always have travel insurance, purely for peace of mind, I use my bank, as I've been with them years, I could shop around and save a few £££ but I prefer the devil I know rather than the devil I don't know !! And I always keep a photo copy of my insurance and passport in my wallet at all times !!
