The OP might consider getting it done in India if cost is an issue. I had an aorta-illiac bypass with two kissing stents done in Chennai about five years ago.Think it was about $6,000 all in.

Go to Cambodia. Convert your money to Khmer Riel. Or transfer and deposit US$ directly. Deposit in someone like Woori Bank or LOLC and get decent interest rates. Depends on how much effort you want to go to to get resident tax (6%) on interest or non-resident (14%). If you have the interest paid monthly use the banks app to transfer it to Wing and from there to yourself at a Kasikorn account with no fees on the last day of each month. To open the account you will need a Cambodia E type visa (possibly with an extension to qualify for resident rates). A local rental agreement (guest house, serviced apartment, etc) Letter from the local Sangkat saying you are resident in their area. Rates have come down about 0.50% in the last couple of months.

"after it revealed that it operates with a single aircraft" No one should be flying this airline. One overworked aircraft. Insufficient time for routine maintenance. What could possibly go wrong.

Clearly in to much of a hurry to type an idiotic comment to read the story. Your mobster nickname would be dopey, I imagine.

Cockpit door on most airlines is not to be opened during unscheduled events even if they are killing passengers right in front of the camera.

So what? This isn't about you. Need some attention?

If over 55 go to Cambodia. Arrive on a normal visa. Rent a serviced apartment or similar for two months Get a 12 month retirement extension on your origina 30-day visa through an agency. Get a certificate of residency from the Sangkat. Open a bank account in and download the appropriate app. Send a shed load of money to Cambodia and get 8.4% pa, paid monthly on a 12 mth TD. Pay 6% residence tax on the interest. Have the interest paid into your savings account linked to the app. Have your O/S pension paid into the same savings account. Use Wise to transfer money to yourself in Thailand (for free if on the last day of the month). Use the bank's virtual Visa, Mastercard, or UnionPay card to pay for things in Thailand.

"if I was the CEO I would have done the same, and I suspect that if this was your company you would have done the same also." I think it's fair to say you've never been the CEO of anything in your life. The reputational damage and derision that will result will be far more than any compensation they are likely to receive from the customer. Sheer stupidity and evidence that Thai is desperately in need of some adult leadership.

Only one of those four lists open and I doubt you're going to pay a Bt3,000 for shipping 150kgs corpse to the USA.

That's not how you're supposed to use a gun.

Is Drew Noyes back in town?

She is correct. This blew up several years ago and at the time private hospitals were instructed that they must accept all emergency cases and provide life-saving treatment. It will be interesting to see what Thai lies are told to cover this situation. The hospital should end up sued, but it will probably be just another Thai grovelling and flower ceremony.

I think you should set up a card table out the front of Makro with signs alerting people to this massive extortion and collect signatures of people similarly so outraged to present to Makro management demanding they stop raising their prices. Once a week rallies with placards and a convoy of cars driving in circles around the car park.

Never mind, Phue Thai has great experience at managing floods. Look at the outstanding job they did in 2011 ????

The story, let alone the accusation, doesn't make much sense. Try adding some details "started to flick though my passport port. Stamp by stamp since the first page. It was like she knew something." Ha!? What have the stamps dot to do with it? Goodness, what a load of gibberish. English-language teacher, did you say?
