For me JAN 2023.
I fronted at Bangkok Jomtien hospital with what I thought was dehydration.
Front desk asked for my passport and insurance card and then was plonked into a wheel chair and rolled in A&E.
Soon became evident I had severe pneumonia in both lungs with my blood oxygen level at 66%.
Within minutes a lady arrived requesting a deposit be paid before treatment would start.
I woke from an induced coma 2 weeks later in a different hospital as my insurance refused to cover expenses and as I was unconscious I could not provide further funds to cover the costs which were growing by 100k per day.
if they did that and was made known to the public/tourists the numbers will rise sharply as people will stop obtaining insurance.
If a tourist is unable to pay their bill (and the governments covers it) that person should be blacklisted for 5 years.
Bangkok Jomtien Hospital same.
Jan 2023, Self admitted, gave them my insurance details but when it was found my condition required ICU they wanted a chunky deposit upfront.

I do not have a pink card.
what do you mean by collecting Thai social security ?
I have SS and it has covered my hospital bills (millions over the years).
my licence is in the safe at home, with my passport.
If pulled over by police I tell them I "no hab licence"...... can go either way, stooged for 200b cash or waved on.
200b cash is cheaper than the reason I gave them to pull me over !

Leave it taxed in other country and bring in on temp import.
It will have to leave the country once a year though.
This is how many of the high end teams that run in the Thailand super Series operate and is why there is a Sepang race on the calendar.
Take the redundancy payout and walk away.
Had a similar situation.
Employed at BOI company 2006 to 2017.
Never a warning and always good performance reviews.
Called into HR.... got told the news we are making your position redundant effective immediately, 1 month notice but clear your desk today.
Told to sign some paperwork within 2 weeks and we will give you an additional 3 months salary on top of the full redundancy payout.
Cha Ching !
I changed from 33 to 39 in 2017.
Was straight forward, no pink ID needed.
In 2019 I changed back to 39.
to be fair though in both instances the respective HR depts of each employer did the leg work.
