Tell him to fork out for a proper hospital then, the cheap bastard. Or get decent travel insurance. I've been in hospital in Malaysia and it was better than most hotels.At least you're not gonna end up in a 3rd world hospital with covid though, like my mate is in Malaysia, he thought going for a cheap holiday there was a good idea. Big cockroaches everywhere including his bed.

Travel insurance is a must. I won't go anywhere without it. You just don't know what can happen in a different country.Tell him to fork out for a proper hospital then, the cheap bastard. Or get decent travel insurance. I've been in hospital in Malaysia and it was better than most hotels.
I was in benidorm the other week and ended up in the wrong hotel pissed up. I got in and they gave me a card to get in the room I told them I was in. Luckily nobody was in there but the next day I thought how easy was that if you had bad intentions. Quite scary I just said room 702 and they regenerated a card and gave it me. I was shocked when I woke up and realised I was in the wrong hotel. Insurance is a definite especially on holiday with all the lads.

Ha ha, one of our mob a few years ago did this, ended up sleeping around the hotel pool because he couldn’t remember which hotel he was in, woke up with no watch and what was left of the kitty gone!Travel insurance is a must. I won't go anywhere without it. You just don't know what can happen in a different country.

If you go to fancy private hospitals, yes. Which you should be if you've got travel insurance. Have you ever actually been to this "third world country?"So they have better hospitals than the UK and Australia in Malaysia?

Of course they have. He's just not in one of them by the sounds of it. Although I'm guessing there might not be much choice when it comes to CovidSo they have better hospitals than the UK and Australia in Malaysia?

Not as bad here in Spain where beers and spirits are virtually the same price and restaurants have adjusted upwards about 10 percent.
However despite growing the veg in our area, tomats and peppers etc shot up 50 percent to double in supermarkets.
One area of massive growth in cost is commercial herbicide where the cost was about 25 euros per 5 litres now 52 euros.
Paints also rising steadily even water based ones.
Don't know about tourist areas but they have always been higher than inland.

Hmmm..This is sounding a bit antagonistic mate but I'm not up for an argument about Malaysia (boring other posters to death in the process).If you go to fancy private hospitals, yes. Which you should be if you've got travel insurance. Have you ever actually been to this "third world country?"
