From a past experience at BNH they asked for a deposit & then came for instalments during my stay. Settlement was on last day. Ask them. Accounts will be able to tell you.

I understood the patient was brain dead. Yes, he will need more than a spare seat but a specially equipped plane? Even with a valid insurance I doubt the insurer would pay for medevac.

I understand that the accident didn't happen in Bangkok but he was brought here later for "better" treatment.

Medpark is along the same price bracket. Hospital is only a few years old.

No doubt it is tough for this family. But what assistance do they expect from the embassy? We all have to pay our own hospital bills. My insurer recently turned down treatment for a heart attack. Set me back 339K for 5 days in hospital. Before I was admitted, down payment was 250K. This family must have known what the bill was going to be from the down payment. Repatriation 170K?
