glasswort Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I must say I am surprised by this. I have been a regular heart patient at PIH and my usual (lady) doctor is brilliant. Where charges are concerned we have to remember that private hospitals in Thailand are profit making enterprises and everything has to paid for including oxygen consumed etc etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is someone, either a trusted friend or a partner, keep them advised of your situation but right now, the priority is your own health. Sorry if misled on this. I rent a bungalow from a Thai lady who is married to a UK man. She knew I was coming back on an emergency visit but I don't think she realised how much pain I was in. Rent is no problem as I have dd with Bangkok Bank.. It's really so she can dispose of 3 TV' 2 sets of golf clubs and more importantly the car and the motorbike, without me being there to sign the books. As I said I have lost confidence in Thai hospitals and will listen to my doc here who thinks I might be in hospital soon. Thank you for the replies, as an earlier poster said ':you are 78 and you health comes first' I just don't want the local government grabbing my car and bike when I would rather give it away but have no idea how to transfer, if at all possible from here, even though the book is over her. I left my phone over there in the confusion so losing all my contacts. I thin I can sort something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonseeker Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 http://magnacarta.co.th/ Contact Tony, he will tell you what to do and/or resolve for you. Never used him, but hear only good. Explain in simple summary. Sorry, if someone else has already proposed this solution. And let the UK Dr.s sort it out. Medicine is no mathematics and often it is a process to get to right diagnosis. Best luck. MS> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldlakey Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 10 hours ago, thaibeachlovers said: Why blame the Thai Dr? He hasn't had more explanation from the UK Dr. Some things are beyond the expertise of most medics, which is why they have specialists. Do you think they should have done all those tests for free? Seems you have a problem with Thais or Thailand. To the OP. I can't help with the legal side - you need a lawyer in Thailand to do that. You could pay air fare and expenses for a trusted person to come to Thailand to pack up your stuff and either give it away or send/ bring it to you in the UK. If renting, you might be able to get your deposit back, and if own a property, that would be a legal matter. Car, motorbike, probably also something a lawyer could sort. If I went into a hospital was given a series of tests, stayed overnight just to be told by a MUPPET that I dont know what I am doing, and on your way out pay this 35,000 Baht bill Problem damn right I would have a problem with the stupids involved This stinks of deliberate cheating 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell17au Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 emilymat, first question is have you seen the doctor in the UK? Second question is has the doctor told you what is wrong with you? If you have not been diagnosed yet then don't panic about things in Thailand because it may be nothing to worry about and you may only have a short holiday in the UK and then return to Thailand. Wait until you see the doctor and he tells you what the problem is, then you can think about returning to Thailand or maybe even return for a short time to dispose of your belongings but don't make any hasty decisions yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct you don;t need work permit to sell a car, who told him that BS?? I am sure if your car is free and clear, no lean on it, you can take it to any car dealer and sell it, for a reduced price of course - my mates wife sold his car that way, dealer told her he would give 280K for it and then sell it to a foreigner for 330K, she took the money. She also had power of attorney, he made before he left. Edited January 24, 2018 by TunnelRat69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Thai hospital costs depend on where you go mostly. CAT scans are not cheap as the equipment is VERY expensive. If you have money you should go private in the UK if you don't already have Bupa or something. NHS is swamped now. It is a political ping pong ball that is out of control and has been for most of the last 40 years. My dad was misdiagnosed three times with things before he died and I have had a similar problem over a cataract operation I need. Best of luck, hope you get well, the possessions can wait until you recover. Edited January 24, 2018 by George FmplesdaCosteedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most large private hospitals average a minimum of Bt 60,000 a night I paid 6 thousand baht per day for VIP room including spare bed for carer and basic nursing. It's 3500 baht for basic room. An MRI was 7 thousand baht for me at Bumrungrad and an x Ray about 25 pounds. Brilliant and cheap compared to the rest of the world. The UK NHS is one of the worst in the western world for successful outcomes for everything from cancer to childbirth. One of the readons I live in Thailand is for the excellent affordable health care. I just wish the Thai people could afford it too which is why Taksin was so popular. The USA system is plain cruel. The OP should forget belongings in Thailand, look after his health as a priority in whatever way he feels comfortable with. He has done nothing wrong and nothing to fear on the legal front.
