Hospital charging more for foreigners
Government Hospitals: in areas with few foreign patients, usually same price for all..not worth their while to set up separate price schedule gor foreigners. (Of course, many Thais don't have to pay at all as they are covered under nstional scheme. ). In government hospitals with many foreign patients coming in, most have ways of charging them more. Might be an overall "surcharge" (e.g. 20% at Siriraj in Bkk) , might be higher room rate for foreign inpatients (e.g. Sripat in Chiang Mai), or might try to divert foreign patients to after hours clinic, which cost much more than public channel. (Thais also pay more to use those.) Even with the above, government hospitals remain less expensive than private. Private hospitals: it varies widely. Many charge everyone the same (high) price but some -- especially in touristy areas -- have double or even triple tiered pricing. Worth noting that overpricing in private hospitals is a frequent complaint from Thais and intermittently in the press as an issue (again -- for Thais. ). Periodically government attempts to do something about it, to date with little to no effect. Mark up on drugs and medical supplues is especially obvious and egregious. One can largely avoid the former by not getting medications from the hospital, buying from outside pharmacy instead. -

Has Thailand Caught Up with the 21st Century?
Perhaps, but i'd be back there in a heartbeat if I won lotto and could live anywhere on the planet. There is a lovely beach there that I can live right next to the sand. Never going to happen in any western country except for the ultra rich that can buy a beach front property. -

Tax files
Seems like some people when they go to a local TRD office and ask about their situatioon are told they do not need to file nor get a tax number but I am leery about the info going to from the main TRD office to all the remote local offices.
