  1. Well from recent experience I would have to say home. Case in point few weeks back stubbed my toe it turned black and blue after several doctor and hospital visit's  they said you need to go in hospital now. But the eye opener was we need 250,000 baht first. The thing is here I have blue cross which will cover treatment. I was 3 days away from expat coverage. So they also said we will cut off big toe then find out what is the issue causing problem. Well needless to say cutting off toe not on my to do list made a few calls home and Bam in US Silicon Valley in hospital being treated blocked artery high blood pressure and a strong Asian infection. But all is good now infection losing  toe itching good sign and toe still there without dime 1 out of pocket. The hospital here took 1 hour and a few test to locate and fix problem. Damn hospital's here not a bit dirty or infected material thrown around  no critters walking the halls, but got a bit freaked when this cart comes by my room by it's self found out later robots patrol the halls collecting stats of monitors and delivering drugs to nurses stations  Don't get that in Thailand Food was 5 star first couple days but low fat low cholesterol Taste bad now matter how you make it. Only hard part was the flight but EVA airlines had my back Put my old butt in wheelchair had golf cart waiting at gate in Taipei for layover put my old butt in seat I needed first and had wheelchair waiting at SFO express through customs.  And on road to recovery as I speak Hopefully back in Bangkok by early next month. But as all things up to you.

  2. Try getting a drivers license in the US you not only take written test, behind the wheel test, vision test, but must also have proof of insurance just to drive and if certain age license only issued for 4 years unless tester feels you may need testing more often. But certain medical conditions you can't drive at all. And still hundreds of thousands are killed each year in driving accidents. Hope the tourist have insurance cause chulalongkorn hospital not cheap.
