Approx same or cheaper than UK.. (Vat is 7%) You find in MBK (downtown), Fortune Town (also downtown close to Makkasan train station opposite Central Rama 9) other shopping malls plenty of 2nd hand phones of your liking. Fortune town is my favourite in terms of trust.
What a load of bullocks replies here. Yes, you can get a bank account on a tourist visa , and this is by the letters of the law by Bank of Thailand. Bangkok Bank will for sure do it for you, and you will ONLY need an embassy certificate to proof your identity due to Anti Money Laundering issues, which have complicated some procedures for banks. My suggestion is to go to a Bangkok Bank and call their international hotline at the bank and they can guide the staff. Because they are often not comfortable speaking English and then it’s easier to to make you leave .. and yes, don’t dress like cheap Charlie.
And i feel sorry for you.. I’m working with the healthcare system in Thailand and though this is rare it can happen.. normally a private hospital is highly concerned about their reputation (and good you don’t mention name here
Regarding the injections you mention in the comments, Kenalog (Triamcinolone acetonide) is a corticosteroid used to treat inflammation and Chirocaine (Levobupivacaine) is an anesthetic used for pain relief. The combination could be used for therapeutic purposes, but their use must be carefully considered by a medical professional based on the individual case.
For the symptoms you’re experiencing, including loss of sensation and muscle mass, it’s important to seek immediate medical attention. Specialists in neurology or internal medicine might be able to provide an assessment and suggest a course of action.

2. Hospital Complaints Board: File a formal complaint with the hospital’s internal complaint board or patient advocacy service if they have one.
3. Medical Council or Board: In Thailand, there’s likely a medical council or board that oversees medical practice and ethics. File a complaint with them regarding the treatment you received.
4. Consumer Protection Agency: Thailand has consumer protection agencies that might offer avenues for complaints against services, including medical services.
5. Embassy or Consular Assistance: Contact your country’s embassy or consulate in Thailand. They can provide guidance, especially if there’s a language barrier or legal complexities.

In Thailand, medical malpractice claims can be filed in Thai courts, and they are based on liability for wrongful acts. To pursue a medical malpractice claim, you would need to establish that a medical practitioner acted negligently or unlawfully, failing to meet established standards of medical practice, and that this resulted in injury or death. It's essential to have evidence in the form of a medical opinion from a practitioner attesting to this negligence [oai_citation:1,Medical Malpractice Claims in Thailand | Siam Legal International](
The Consumer Case Procedure Act 2551 and the Consumer Protection Act in Thailand define a consumer as any person receiving medical services, from either a government or a private hospital. If damages from medical malpractice occur, a consumer can file a Consumer Case in court. This approach can be beneficial as it often allows for a faster court procedure without court fees [oai_citation:2,Medical Malpractice in Thailand](
Regarding the timeframe, the Thailand Civil and Commercial Code stipulates that a claim for damages arising from a wrongful act must be filed within 1 year from when the wrongful act and the person responsible became known to the injured person, or within 10 years from the day of committing the wrongful act. If the claim for damages also falls under criminal law, which may provide a longer statute of limitations, then the longer period applies [oai_citation:3,Medical Malpractice in Thailand](
In terms of the legal process, damages awarded in medical malpractice cases in Thailand are typically based on quantifiable losses, such as expenses and lost income. Intangible losses like pain and suffering are less commonly awarded compared to Western legal systems. Additionally, medical negligence claims usually require expert testimony from qualified medical professionals [oai_citation:4,Medical Malpractice in Thailand | Bangkok Lawyers](
Given the complexity of medical malpractice cases in Thailand, it is advisable to consult with a qualified lawyer who can provide specific guidance and ensure that your claim is filed within the appropriate timeframe. They can also assist in gathering and submitting all relevant evidence to support your case.

Forget any customer service with Finnair.. had similar experience due to their flight change and a subsequently denied boarding in biz, as my Thai travel pass was now a day early. (By 20
Min). You are talking to an AI bot at the best. Hopeless, scandalous and making me always look for other options if possible #finnair (in case you are listening / interested in the effect of extremely understaffed and non working services )
