Failed Jaw Surgery Leaves Thai Man Unable to Eat, Awaits Resolution
In a distressing case highlighting potential healthcare shortcomings, a Thai man named Sommai has been left unable to eat following a failed operation on his broken jaw. The issue has drawn attention to the Social Security Office's (SSO) response and subsequent treatment lapses. After fainting outside his home, Sommai was taken to a social security-affiliated hospital in Nonthaburi, near Bangkok, where he received initial treatment. Despite paying monthly SSO contributions, Sommai was required to cover most costs himself, including part of an 11,400 baht tooth extraction bill. The procedure proved problematic; due to severe pain and bleeding, only two out of six problematic teeth were removed. Sommai's inability to open his mouth post-treatment was dismissed by hospital staff, who sent him home. His condition worsened, prompting a visit to Bangkok Thonburi University's dental faculty, where a broken jaw was diagnosed, necessitating urgent surgery. Mahidol University, his next referral, insisted on an official case transfer from the initial SSO hospital for surgery slated for March 3. The transfer was denied, and Sommai, losing confidence in the SSO hospital, sought treatment independently. He covered a 12,000 baht cost at Mahidol while awaiting official support. Currently, Sommai survives on liquid nutrition as he navigates delays in obtaining necessary surgical intervention. SSO officials, alerted to the situation through a Channel 3 report, have pledged to investigate the initial hospital’s diagnosis and handling of his case, aiming to resolve the ongoing medical and administrative challenges he faces, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-03-18 -

BREAKING NEWS Thailand Cuts Visa-Free Stay to 30 Days to Combat Abuse
Yes but now the IO has the option to grant that extra 30 days, which was probably fairly automatic with the 60 day free entry, as the Govt was pushing this. But now the Govt may give IO's orders to be more careful on the extra 30 days...or I might be way off base. -

Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
You didn't mention that tax would only be due on the "remitted THB millions in 2024" if it was earned in 2024. It is very likely that by far the bulk of any funds remitted for purchase of property would have been earnings from prior years and as such would be non-assessable. No need for hysterics. -

BREAKING NEWS Thailand Cuts Visa-Free Stay to 30 Days to Combat Abuse
I wonder how many people were tricked into buying tickets based on a 60-day visa? Obviously, the two months visas were working, that's why there are so many tourists. I don't like crowds more than the next person, but raising expectations and flip flopping back will not help the country's tourism industry. -
