  1. Another possibility would be Camellian Hospital, also a nonprofit. Smaller than Bkk Chrstian and St Louis but for a common procedure like this not an issue. And as they see far fewer expats, they may be cheaper. When inquiring specify you want it done as a day surgery. Note though that with that you will have to plan on multple outpatient visits afterwards for wound care.
  2. Sorry that was typo, it is Dr. Roy https://www.rutnin.com/en/doctor/detail.36.1_Roy_0_0.html#thumb He is also at Bumrungrad and you can see his CV tere https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Roy-Chumdermpadetsuk But treatment at Bumrungrad would cost substantially mroe than at Rutnin so better to see hiom at the latter Re optomap, I agreed to have it because exam was showing some retinal degeneration. It wasn't suggested prior to that, but in that instance i felt it was well worth it to be sure. (Turned out to be what is called "paving stobne" degenration which is benign). Like you I am a "high myope". (-14 pre-LASIK)
  3. I reocmmend you go to Bangkok, not treat in Pattaya. Rutnin Hospital.
  4. Yes, Rutnin has retinal specialists and is able to treat retinal detachment. I recommend Dr. aroy there for this. This thread mentions costs https://aseannow.com/topic/930942-detached-retina/ Last time i did full retinal exam there it can to about 5,000 baht. This was using some sort of special equipment that takes special photos - I forget the name of it - and was because there was some abnormal finding. Might not always be necessary.
  5. This. Or just get a 3 month travel policy. It is not required that the policy be from a Thai company. US company is fine - but they do need to fill out the certificate. But make sure you are applying for a non-O and not a non-OA Or just come in either on a Tourist visa or Visa exempt then apply to change to a non-O visa.
  6. It is available under these brand names: Hyrimoz Amgevita Exemptia Hullo It is a controlled drug. Requires a prescription which in ppractice usually mmeans it can only be obtained from a hospital
