Samui Coconut Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 So who will pay for the victims if they can't pay for themselves? I hope all hospitals follow (not only during Songkran), but someone has to take care of the bill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 The law was changed a while back that ALL Thai hospitals had to treat emergency victims. What they do after the initial treatment though........... On Samui, they are shipped off to Nathon as soon as they can be moved. The government picks up the er bill. Falling off your bike and having multiple cases of the Samui tattoo does not count! Emergency victims only. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one reason or another I visit one of the hospitals on Samui almost every other month. I have seen a few cases of Thais unconcious after a mb accident, older Thais - heart attack - etc. Now I may be mistaken, but in quite a few cases, these Thais did not look as if they could afford private insurance and they were receiving the same attention as everyone else. Yes - stereotyping maybe, but realistically so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
