HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY IN THAILAND
I had hip replacements on both sides. I did both in my home country, for 2 reasons: 1. I have seen many hip replacements done here, and the results were quite often not satisfactory. Having said that, from my 2 hip replacements, 1 was botched. And the usual international hospitals do have surgeons who do a good job. I did consult them, but I did the procedure in Europe. 2. The main reason I haven't done it here is the complete lack of post-operative aftercare and rehabilitation. Here, they send you home after a couple of days in hospital, and then you are on your own. What you really need is intense physical therapy for weeks and months. This includes ergotherapy (like learning how to get into a car or how to have sex), teaching how to walk (with and later without crutches), later adequate strength training. You do need professional guidance for all of this. This is just as important as the surgery itself. In Bangkok, you can't even walk with your new joint, let alone with crutches. You need a stretch of even ground, as long as possible (100m would be boring like hell after a while, but where in Thailand do you find 3km even, walkable ground?) (Small things: in Thailand, I couldn't even find a wedge shaped cushion for my body weight - more than 50kg. Hard to find decent crutches, too.) Cost in Thailand in a private hospital in Bangkok: 350,000 - 400,000, Bumrungrad or Bangkok Hospital 500,000. I would not choose the cheaper options. In theory, you could stay in the top floors of Bumrungrad for postoperative care for a long time. They have a roof garden, too. People have done this successfully, cost over 1m. -

Can you defend yourself?
The problem with defending yourself in public interactions is that usually the person attacking you has nothing to lose, while you have everything to lose. Some random loser in a bar or on the street picks a screaming match with you. He might be overstaying his visa, has just enough money to pay rent for the next week, has no job or career, and if he’s Thai, he could be earning just 250 Baht a day. Meanwhile, you’ve built your entire life. Saving for retirement, making investments, pursuing education, advancing your career, and sending your kids to an expensive school. If he gets arrested, it doesn’t matter to him. If you get arrested, you could lose everything. So usually you keep your head down and walk away, makes you look like a 🐈 in front of everybody. Because you’re not willing to risk losing everything over of some loser. --- Defending yourself in a life-or-death situation is, of course, different, but I think there is only a small chance of getting into such a situation.
