Let me add from personal experience, our housekeeper requested this. We pay B900 between us to the Thai SSO each month via a bank transfer from the business A/C. Not sure of the full details as it is not me personally paying this.

Quick maths suggests employer & employee contributions for a salary of 9,000 baht. Contributions are capped at 750 baht for salaries at 15,000 baht.

Even the arguments between posters are third world. 

 

Just like healthcare and the so called pension.

 

Bangkok is 10% of the population of Thailand. Maybe you get out to the country more.

Obviously. But maybe you be better for it to understand Thai people.

Last I heard 11% paid or have paid tax.

Does not help that about 50% of a big pension fund they cannot locate.

Health care is actually not that bad for Thais & why should they extend it to us unless you pay SS, then they do

So you sent her to a private hospital and they knew a falang was going to pay.

    I wasn't involved.  Partner's Thai family made all the decisions and paid all the bills.  The bills were high because of an operation she had and the care she needed--such as being in ICU for many days--which was all booked at the public hospitals.

    I don't care if you believe me.  I didn't go into details--and I don't know all the details specifically as the 5 Thai siblings made all the decisions--but it was a lot of different things, not just the operation and many days in ICU.  I do know there was also kidney dialysis, chemo, ambulance charges, doctor and nurse charges and more.  It all added up--which I think it can with complicated cases and multiple health issues being attended to.

Apologies for my blunt comment it was because we have a great govt hospital and I have not experienced that kind of cost involving a Thai person in our area.

I'll have to ask the Mrs about extra costs that may apply they did charge me when I was admitted 2 times. ????

    I think it might also depend on where you are.  She was in Bangkok.  Perhaps sometimes better outcomes in smaller localities.
