800 minimum any doctor, but more for specialists.

 

 

Still a long way from 5000 baht.

I believe Sirikit does have an ambulance service. Don't suppose anyone here has tried it.

I had a stroke first week last month. I called, and a neighbour helped with directions when they called back.
Had quite the gathering of condo neighbours, all very good concerned folks who noticed me staggering out and unable to stand.
The ambulance came, they bundled me in, took my vitals, and delivered me to the ER in short order, lights going and siren as needed.
I was shifted to a gurney and wheeled straight in.
There was a bit of a wait inside, but not long. The ambulance attendant came in to see how I was doing after his next run. Smiles, gestures, and a pat on the shoulder were all, but appreciated.
CT scan confirmed an ischemic (blood clot) stroke. Proper meds, follow up xrays, four days and three nights stay, intro to rehab, etc, then sent home with a big bag of meds and print outs of the exercises I must do daily to improve as much as I can, over who knows how long?
Total cost was a bit over 15,000 baht.

Who did you ring for the ambulance service? Is it a general number or does Queen Sirikit have there own ambulance service?

Honestly, I am not sure. I used a "911" type number, 191, I got off of Google. That was a struggle to dial!
I was told I should have dialed 1669. I do not know what the difference is.
I am glad it worked.
