RE: Thailand to require health insurance for 1-year visa extensions
I was reading this article and for a moment, I thought you were talking about Nigeria when you touched the issue of shortsighted leaders making decisions for the helluvit.
Not gonna lie to you though, Thailand is thousands of times better than my shithole. Insurance is a myth around here and healthcare is only for those who can pay. Even Government hospitals operate the pay before service way.
Genuine question; Do all politicians go to clown school before running for office?
i think that clown school is a part of the requirements for the job. There are very few politicians that seem to be in touch with the average person... that is for sure.
Thailand is not a shithole by any measure, but they do have a huge divide between rich and poor and as usual, all the politicians are rich.
That's something Nigeria has in common with Thailand. All the same, it seems a lot better than here. on TV, all I hear and see about Thailand is the good stuff; Tourism, pretty girls with flowers around their waste, exotic locations etc.
well those things are likely true. It isn't a bad place, it is just getting a bit more difficult to remain here and honestly, they are chasing the wrong people away. Their tourism is dropping likely because of these policies and also because their currency is relatively high and I can't imagine any particular reason why.
Maybe i am complaining a bit more than i should just because this impacts my life a lot, but it really was better when the govt just got out of the way - as is the case with most things.
Well, I wish you the best in any decision you decide to embark on. Think about the bigger picture as well.
Sometimes a problem arises so we can rise above it and become better people. Simply moving out of the country is easy but remember that every society has its own problems.
