My wife just had a Femoral Hernia op at bangkok Hua Hin Hospital, expect to pay around 75k with one night stay, all tests, MRI, X-Ray, blood tests etc. Excellent service.
like all things you get what you pay for.

AlleyKat, have you been to Hua Hin hospital? go and have a look and make your own mind up. After waiting for hours to see anyone they gave a five minute internal examination, said my wife had nothing wrong, told her to go home and not worry about it.

Having recently attended Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin I can highly recomend this facility. After having visited numerous doctors (read qwacks), hopitals and clinics with the same problem for over two years and most times being told nothing was wrong, other times being given medication and told to come b...

Thanks to everyone so far, some good points to consider and contacts to follow up with for a chat. My intent at this time is to keep my Thai and overseas assets totally seperate with all of my overseas assets administered from Australia. Hopefuily this will all be irrelevant for many years to come. ...

I am retired in Hua Hin, lived all over the place so I have assets in numerous countries and I wish to update my Will. On talking with a HH lawyer he told me he can establish a will in Thailand to cover my assets here but I will need to do separate ones for other countries with legal representatives...

Estates in UK are subject to probate which might be difficult for a Thai partner to manage. In these cases an independent, professional executor such as the lawyer who wrote...

Gee, StevePIraq I have a feeling that this type of will could could end up causing some heavy scenes between some couples and that in it self could end up with another unfortunate statistic in the news. If you were to feel there was this possibility couldn't a will be drawn up where the longer you ...

With the recent murders in Hua Hin and around the country some guys may have a few concerns about their loved one, wife, girl friend, boy friend what have you plotting their demise and cashing in the insurance and scooping the bank account. If so you may wish to consider a change I have just done to...

World Nomads does not cover for Thailand if on a government warning, see extract from policy below, every policy I have looked up on the net has this. "General Exclusions Applicable to all Sections We will not pay for any of the following claims or losses: Your claim arises because you did not ...

Typical media exageration. just like government web sites giving warnings of danger in Thailand. Why doesn't the Thai government web site start giving warnings about visiting the following: Britain - Bombings in Ireland and London, extreme threat of terrorism, high levels of personal crime, not to m...
