It didn't come over as harsh and was very informative. Ive been a member of this group for several years and was unaware not to mention agents/ agencies so your comment was very valid too 👍
I changed my Visa from Tourist Visa to Non-O in Chiang Mai for 2000, baht. I believe it changes at each location which is strange but true. Ive also changed from a visa exempt stamp to a Non-O, again at Chiang Mai. The high fee is probably because you are using an agent.
My son recently got a bout of man flu but days later started losing the feeling in his hands and feet. After several hospital visits he went to Ram hospital where hevwas quickly diagnosed with Guillain-barre-syndrome and put in Immunoglobulin treatment which is the only cure. He started to have erratic heartbeat and crazy high blood pressure and intense pain in his spine. 10 days and 1 million baht later he was in a much better place but as he had no insurance it was the bank of Dad. I couldn't believe how expensive the Immunoglobulin was si checked on the Internet and it was still much cheaper than in the UK. Insurance can be a financial life saver (no pun intended). I'd never even heard of Guillain-barre-syndrome but its getting more common.
He's been asking for 2 days now and people have offered solutions but he doesnt want to pay 150baht commission... Now he says he'sforgot his password 🤦♂️.....its ridiculous
