You can donate your body to Chulalongkarn University, where it will be used for research and/or instruction for medical students. There are some exclusions though: body too decayed, rabies, HIV, Hep B and C, active TB, advanced state of cancer, radioactive implants within last six months, death due to accident where possible legal issues are involved. You'll have to prearrange or have your executor coordinate for travel of your body to the University. They'll have 20 days to do what they will, after which they'll cremate whatever is left and provide ashes to whomever you stipulate. Only cost is the freight to get you there. This is about as no frills as it gets in Thailand. You'll have to go to Chula University to register, but only takes a few minutes to do so. Make sure to bring your passport. For more info call them at 02-256-4751 or 02-256-4281.

Can't answer your question but suspect a few phone calls would get you a quick result. I had lasik performed on both eyes about 26 years ago in Canada, a year or so before the FDA approved the procedure in the USA. While the procedure back then was mostly science, I have to think there was a bit more art involved than there is now. Also have to think the equipment and procedure has improved in the last 3 decades so that should give you some comfort. I paid $4k total and it was the best $ I ever spent. While most of the major hospitals in BKK now do the lasik procedure, there are two clinics that specialize in eyes only. Rutnin Eye Hospital is the oldest and I understand has a solid reputation. They're your eyes and you only have two, so I'd be more concerned with prospects for good results than cost. I'm not recommending anyone for the procedure but would encourage you to at least get a consult from a recognized leader in the field. Good luck.
