This thread has degenerated into the usual antivax and rebuttal debates that never go anywhere useful. Closed.

Or he could get a re-entry permit, return from Cambodia just before the 60 days are up then get 30 day extension. Really depends on how long he wants to be in Thailand.

It seems not to be 3750 baht for polyp removal but rather for biopsy of polyps. It is common for that to be an additional charge since there is no predicting how many if any polyps there will be. Polyps are indeed normally removed during a colonoscopy and it us not usual to have a separate removal charge. OP needs to clarify this with the hospital in advance or else go elsewhere. Nothing in the wording of the Bumrungrad suggests that there would be extra charge for removing a polyp during coloniscopy.

I would add what one should do: 1. Immobilize the area bitten with a splint or else just keep it as still as possible. 2. Get to a hospital as quickly as possibly. Preferrably a large government hospital as they are the most likely to stock antivenom. If the snake has been killed bring it along or if it is nearby then photograph it but don't delay matters or risk someone else bring bitten for this purpose.

Correct but if that location is not convenient (sounds like she is in Pattaya) and if expect to be in other location for forseeable future should try to change tabian ban listing.

COVID after effects can last for weeks to months. Even in people who's case was very mild. had COVID around the same time you did and am still feeling after effects like tiring easily and becoming short of breath on exertion. Metallic taste, occasional shortness of breath and palpitations can all be after effects of COVID. If these symptoms become constsnt or severe then see an infectious disease specialist (not a urologist) or internal medicine doctor. Otherwise just try to get plenty of redt, exercise regularly but in moderation (listen to your body as to when to stop) and try not to focus so much on it. Back pain is less likely to be due to COVID and can be from muscle strain/spasm, excessive sitting etc. Sometimes due to issues in the spine especially in older people but since your back pain does not sound that severe usual approach is what the doctor did: treat for inflammation with antinflammatory (Arcoxia). As long as you have no history of heart problems or liver/kidney impairment or gastric ulcers and are not over age 65, a short course of this as prescribed should be OK and may help. You should also do stretches regularly such as these thttps://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/multimedia/back-pain/sls-20076265 And avoid sitting for prolonged periods. Get up and walk/stretch at hourly intervals. A heating pad may also help. If the back aches become severe or if the pain starts to radiate into your thigh or leg then consult ortho specialist. Regarding the antibiotic as I understand it you have already had several course of antibiotics and no infection has ever been identified. And specialists previously consulted did not recommend further antibiotics. I would follow their advice i.e. not take the Cipro at this time.
