I did the math, Thailand is the most cost effective.

@Luit ****************

the world is in flux. Economic circumstances could be completely different a year from now. I may still need the medicine but Thailand may not be the best place to get it.

@Luit ****************

exactly, that was the reason for my embassy question. It doesn't appear there's much consistency.

@John *********

ok thanks for the advice. Seems odd that others here claim to have gotten the DTV with far less documentation.

@John *********

I don't have a written plan yet. I go back early March for lab work and get another two doses. The doctor said indefinite medical treatment seeing her every month. I can ask for something in writing that might satisfy the visa documentation.

Thanks

@Luit ****************

that was the treatment plan. Come back every month and we'll give you two doses. The supply of this drug is limited and not available everywhere. That's why the price is 32,000 baht a month. I can't go in and ask for 6 months worth. I had to get approval from two separate doctors to even get it the first time. In spite of what you assuming they're rationing what I can obtain.

@Alain **************

thanks. I have to go back to the doctor in about 10 days. I'll see if they'll give me the letter. I take this medicine every 14 days and they'll only give me two per visit because it's so expensive and in short supply.

@John *********

I have to go to the hospital to get the medicine every month. It's 16,000 baht a shot.
