so it's not really for 10 stitches, it's 47,000 baht for two days stay and medication, and care etc.

Sounds about right.

^ ^

Any chance of giving more information regards the charges. Break the costs down.

Even for a top private hospital that cost is high unless one was in ICU.

same thing mate

they kept her in because they were taking the piss

surgery costs were 30,000 plus
for a few fukking stitches

What Hospital ?

our kids cost less FFS

Cost me 90,000 baht to sew my arm back on (well half of it) and hundreds of stitches internally and externally.

One night in jail and I was out.

Did a good job and I am starting to play drums half decent again.

Sounds over the top unless they had to reconnect tendons etc.

i did my foot about 7 years ago

17 stitches and about 1900 of bahts then i went home

pulled them out myself too

First rule in Thailand? Pick the right hospital? Not the biggest swankiest one.

The usual answer for broken stuff is a Government/Army/Air-force Hospital?

she thought our insurance only counted in one hospital apparently

she is a banana

McCormick isn't swanky, quite the opposite. More information required.

Got 3 or 4 stitches in my head, local amphor hospital, think 250 Baht for the pills, needle work free.

no...it used to be reasonable

32,000 baht for surgery costs
2,000 a night or so and whatever ancillary charges they threw on...drugs and stuff i expect

she had wifi though
posted pics of her tootsies on facebook

and they even wanted to keep her in for a third night ffs

Cost me less for my back surgery.

Why did she agree to stay in for two days for a small cut?

I broke my back (L3) here in Phuket years ago; they flew in a specialist from bkk. 5 hours in surgery. 2 days in ICU. About a week in hospital, lots of morphine., 450k baht. Would've cost 100k dollars in the USA.

^^

i think they drugged her up and she thought the insurance would cover it but it didn't go the whole way
i think she ended up paying around 8,000 baht but the point remains

it's a pisstake
it's also one of the few things i miss about the UK
the NHS and cricket

they diagnosed my wife with a broken arm when she had a sprained wrist

i went all apeshit and demanded the x rays which showed no break whatsoever
she was mortified by my behaviours but i was right

net result was a free cast being taken off

i'd like to but i'm a bit old and unattractive
