Being in Thailand too long


Recommended Posts

I also enjoy slowing down, rolling down the window, and laughing and giving the Thais a thumbs up, when I seen them looking at their cars wondering how the one ran into the back of the other. Bwahahahaha! PRICELESS! :thumbup

too funny, especially #6.

 

Am I the only person who deliberately engages Indian Tailors in conversation then walks off half way through?.

I do this. I also ask them which 7-11 is closest. I did walk into a tailor shop once (Indian) and ask where the slurpee machine was.

30 baht scheme?

 

 

Thailand introduced universal coverage reforms in 2001, becoming one of only a handful of lower-middle income countries to do so. Means-tested health care for low income households was replaced by a new and more comprehensive insurance scheme, originally known as the 30 baht project, in line with the small co-payment charged for treatment. People joining the scheme receive a gold card which allows them to access services in their health district, and, if necessary, be referred for specialist treatment elsewhere. The bulk of finance comes from public revenues, with funding allocated to Contracting Units for Primary Care annually on a population basis. According to the WHO, 65% of Thailand's health care expenditure in 2004 came from the government, while 35% was from private sources. Although the reforms have received a good deal of criticism, they have proved popular with poorer Thais, especially in rural areas, and survived the change of government after the 2006 military coup. Then Public Health Minister, Mongkol Na Songkhla, abolished the 30 baht co-payment and made the UC scheme free. It is not yet clear whether the scheme will be modified further under the coalition government that came to power in January 2008.
