Even these hospitals have social security patients. When you apply for SS you also select 3 hospitals and you are approved for one of these hospitals based on availability.

Paolo may be private owned but they do accept the Thai welfare scheme and many locals use Paolo as their nominated welfare hospital.

I am registered at Paolo their under the welfare scheme.

Easy solution, open up a football stadium and arrange weekend battles between the troubling fractions and last man or team standing wins. Losers pay the medical bills ...........LOL

Yes. That has as much validity as saying that Thailand is a Buddhist country. Probably all begun originally as more lies fantasy from TAT.

Thailand would be in a much better shape if those halfwits focused on either their education or fighting the corrupt and inept government instead of fighting each other like street dogs. It's painful to watch, what a waste.

As a kid in the 1940s, back in the UK, there was always the threat of a dose of the birch. Whether it was ever administered or not I don't know. But, the threat was always there. Perhaps these participants would benefit from a dose?????

Should get your facts straight. You can choose 3 government hospitals. Not private hospitals, The op you quoted mentioned that Paolo hospital is private and not cheap. I can't say whether this hospital is private or not because I don't know this hospital. But I do know 'Pagan Sangkom' which is the social security you are referring to. They only cover government hospitals and that is a fact I am positive of.

Mine is covered at a private hospital, you should look deeper before telling me to get my facts straight. The private hospitals have government clinics, where you of course wait longer than the private part of the hospital. Of course a private hospital can respond and say they have a full quota and will not accept any more social patients.

 

Fact is I was at a private hospital last week and my insurance would not cover hernia surgery so they put me under the social security scheme at the same hospital, which is also the same hospital I selected when requested by my company to nominate 3 hospitals.

You just proved what I said. I doubt they will put you up in the posh private rooms in said private hospital, and I doubt you will get surgery in the hospitals posh operating room.

I never said that they would, your post was very clear that private hospitals will not cover, and social security will only cover government hospitals. I just showed you that this is not the case and private hospitals do in fact accept social security via their government clinics.

 

FYI the operating rooms do not change and I offered to pay for a single room separately.

 

It's ok to accept that you did not have your facts straight rather than continue to argue ????
