Hospital charging more for foreigners
I'm the same, They have massively improved the government hospital in Phuket, only one thing they need to do now, is improve the food, no big deal there is a 7/11 out the front and an Amazon coffee shop in the hospital, I think they was trying to have me over with a private room, 3500 baht per day, I keep meaning to tell my wife to call and ask how much, Makes me wonder are the doctors on commission.

Hospital charging more for foreigners
I have to say Im very impressed with the government hospital here in Phuket, I went to see the doctor yesterday evening I recieved a call the day before so I already knew my number in the que (8) It wasn't so busy yesterday, that's the only problem it gets mobbed, I'm told it's the biggest hospital in the south of Thailand, so they come from all over to here. I always have my wife with me, and the charges are reasonable, Yesterday I came away with 3 months medication, the cost is Thai price, we do have a couple of friends who are pharmacist and they said they are good drugs for a good price, Not like them International hospitals 10x the price, obscene prices, My wife insist I have a cup of Encore everyday ok that's fine, but believe it or not the cheapest place on the island we have found to buy it, is the hospital the government one, how good is that? Another big ripoff at the hospitals is blood test, Im not saying any names which place is 3500 baht, we found a clinic just a normal blood test was only 250 baht, the one I needed for yesterday was to check cholesterol was 550 baht, just pickup the result and take it to the hospital with you, I would recommend Vachira hospital in Phuket to anyone,

Spain plans 100% tax for homes bought by non-EU residents!
Governments around the world are tightening rules on short-term rentals to address local challenges. Here are the latest updates: Athens: The city has introduced a one-year freeze on new short-term rental permits. The goal is to ease housing affordability issues and find a better balance between tourism and community needs. Egypt: The government is looking to formalize the STR market with stricter rules. Plans include mandatory licensing and a 14% VAT on rental income to ensure better tax compliance and oversight. Alicante: Over in Spain, Alicante has introduced a two-year ban on new holiday rental licenses in certain neighborhoods. This measure is designed to tackle housing shortages and reduce the pressure of tourism on local communities. These updates highlight how cities and countries are working to balance the needs of residents and tourists while addressing housing and affordability concerns.
