Isn't this the internet arm of the expat club?

With all the threads about BPH overcharging, I wonder what the feeling is on Bumrungrad? I have not been treated for more than out patient matters at BPH and have no complaints so far, but if I needed a serious operation I have always thought Bumrungrad would be best. Do any members have any experience of Bumrungrad's service and pricing, especially compared to BPH's? Is Bumrungrad vastly different, or about the same?

Thanks.

one's a hospital, the other a bunch of gangsters.........take your pick

Received this e-maail from my wife today, while I am working in Bangladesh.

So the guy / guys can afford a car. This is not just some out-of-work labourer wanting money for food (or more likely booze or drugs) - this is professional.

hardly professional to use your own car

It is particularly annoying practice of the banks in Thailand to announce your balance on the ATM screen - without you asking!

Anyone standing behind then knows how much you have in that account and whether or not it's worth mugging you.
