I was quoted 40000baht plus a month Plus any existing pre-conditions would be looked at cost wise Looking at the cost per year I was 74 years old at the time I decided to pay cash My first kidney stone operation was 165000 baht 3 day stay in a International hospital Plus follow up was 60000baht Still cheaper than having insurance cover
