Do you have an ATM card from one of the big banks? Most include accident insurance that will help pay for this sort of thing.

Yes mate I do but the bill was picked up by insurance except for 700 baht of service not inc 

I went to the hospital mentioned with a severe laceration on my right thumb and palm ( 26 stitches ).

 

When i went i was basically told that it was too complicated for them.

 

I then drove to BKK / KK hospital, about 3 hours. Once there and assessed a surgeon and his team was mobilized ( 2300hrs ) i was operated on within about an hour. 4 days in hospital and 160K.

 

Wound has healed well, hardly notice the scar but some ever lasting nerve damage.
