1FinickyOne Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 well, the obvious answer would be that if you cannot find someone to assist you in getting cash, then you will need to g o to a hospital that will accept payment by means available to you...

lopburi3 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Believe most hospitals will accept credit cards - and that is where most doctors work in Thailand. Clinics are mostly for beauty or routine flu type issues (pills for cash). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai Dee Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 There are many clinics in Pattaya and most if not all will accept Mastercard or VISA. Where in Pattaya are you? Can you get a songtheaw or motorbike taxi to get you to one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Why make problems- pay with cash? Why go to a clinic? Go to a hospital of which there are excellent ones in Pattaya and pay by credit card. Stay in overnight then you are not outpatient. Never use clinics when there is a hospital available. Never.

scubascuba3 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I don't know of a clinic that would do minor surgery of ingrown toenail. Sounds like hospital it is, if you want to save money maybe Banglamung can do it there and then, after potential hours of waiting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Full Agreement Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 29 minutes ago, splodger said: I appreciate that it's an ingrown toenail, minor surgery, i had a toenail excised some years back at BPH and the charge was less than 200 USD. Walked into the surgeons office and showed him the infected big toenail. I was hoping medicine would take care of the infection but he said he doubted it would and the only way he recommended to deal with it was through excising it. I asked when he could do it and he said "RIGHT NOW". I'd been marking the infections growth with a sharpee mark on my toenail and decided to go along with the doctor. Forty minutes later I walked out with 9 toenails and a solid path to ending my toenail infection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Since you have the insurance, why do it as on out patient, and simply spend the night. That is why you got the insurance to begin with. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
