We’re here in Malaysia right now for renewal of our papers and partly for Hubby’s medical check up. With a Malaysian insurance, we find it better to be checked here in Malaysia, so we don’t have to pay anything. If we get hospitalized in Thailand, our insurance can still cover us but we have to pay first and then we get refunded after a couple of months. We find this system of a hassle so that’s why we try to refrain from being hospitalized in Thailand.
There’s really nothing so serious about Hubby’s condition but we find it best for him to have some kind of general check up. I think he hasn’t been on one for a few years now too. It’s good to have his blood sugar checked, cholesterol level among other things. It’s good that we could go to a good hospital with reputable doctors because I’ve heard a lot of cases these days where people look for actos law firms to fight for them.
There’s an ongoing Bata Shoe Sale that’s taking place in Big C Extra, Hat Yai right now. They’re offering 30-70% discounts on most of their items. We’ve just been there last night and I was able to buy a pair of shoes for my daughter and HUbby. My daughter’s shoes only cost 150 Baht while my Hubby’s sport shoes cost 300 Baht! Unbelievable huh? It’s just too bad there aren’t many pairs left for the ladies. I guess the ladies were quicker to buy and therefore finished all their stocks.
