YIKES!

@John ********

I did fine at the Thai hospital I stayed at for two nights. The price for everything was very fair but that was 2015.

And I thought the USA was expensive. Still that is a rip off.

Foreigners have to pay more. That is seriously screwed up.

I would just get a 90 day or 180 multi entry visa. And yes they are checking much more often than years past.

That is the dicey part of living in Thailand. There is always that thought in the back of your mind you might suddenly have to leave because of some lame bull$hit. I gives real confidence in those wanting make any investments here. Have to love the backwards logic. Would drive any Vulcan mad.

(Si Na) Saving Face more often misused for getting yourself out of trouble. Basically, asking the other to back down and walk away quiet.

Just a typical Thai trying to save face unable to speak good enough English to explain himself. Aka ( I don,t know how to do it) , ( i don,t want to do it.) , (boss angry I do it) , or you , you, give me money. If more foreigners stood up to paying bribes and extra fees for parks etc this would all stop. Just learn how to say NO! and don,t worry about your partners feelings because YOU stood up to them. Remember it is always YOUR fault for discussing the issue. Not the person trying to screw you over.

As long as foreigners continue trying to work around Thai Immigration laws the laws will just become more difficult for everyone. Seen it happen time and time again.

That is a new one have have not heard before from dodgy banks. Banks , Insurance companies and health care. Three biggest scammers on the planet.
