Phuket's Vachira Hospital Courts Global Patients for Weight-loss Surgery
Vachira Phuket Hospital is making a decisive leap into the flourishing medical tourism arena by welcoming international patients for advanced weight-loss surgeries. With the demand for bariatric procedures at an all-time high, the hospital aims to solidify its position as a key contender in this competitive sector. Dr Thakoon Poonthananiwatkul, a senior surgeon with over a decade of expertise in bariatric surgery, highlighted the hospital's success in treating more than 3,400 patients. The hospital’s practice is not only experienced but also internationally accredited by the US-based Surgical Review Corporation (SRC), ensuring adherence to the highest standards of patient safety and medical quality. According to Dr Thakoon, "Bariatric surgery is often a crucial intervention for individuals who find weight loss through traditional methods challenging or face severe health implications due to obesity." Since the introduction of these specialised surgeries in 2015, Vachira has built a renowned centre of excellence for bariatric procedures. Their SRC accreditation further enhances the hospital's allure for both local and international patients and bolsters Phuket's reputation as a health tourism hub. In recent years, the hospital has conducted between 500 to 700 procedures annually, managing a consistent influx of 40 to 50 patients monthly. With a daily operating schedule, Vachira's skilled team ensures a continuous stream of successful transformations. The hospital director, Dr Veerasak Lorthongkham, emphasised their commitment to elevating care quality, aiming to establish Phuket as a preeminent international medical destination. By targeting foreign residents initially, Vachira intends to expand its reach, promoting not only healthier lifestyles but also fostering economic growth through thriving medical tourism, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-03-17 -

Thailand Yet to Finalise Policy on Taxing Expats’ Overseas Income
Countries offering retirement visas. I'm not playing into this global taxation debate. You know the situation in Thailand and as a foreigner if you don't like how you're treated, your voice has no weight to the Thai government. If it feels good to whine, then go ahead though. But just for fun, a U.S. example: -

How do you fit in a plane seat ?
I normally get to board the plane early in the first wave due to membership status. Doesn't matter in business (which I rarely fly) but even in premium economy, I sit and watch the subsequent boarders and I'm often muttering to myself "please don't be sat next to me, please don't be sat next to me". The fatties often grab all the 'beer snack's' aswell.
