I will look into it I will be there for about 3 weeks I could stay longer if required.
Right now I'm just trying to avoid having a biopsy and trying to get an MRI first to see if I need a biopsy.
Must weigh heavy the not knowing, probably in the same boat as you if I
live long enough.
if you have a day or so off just go to Delhi,counted 14 at least 3t machines,some with wide bore,cheap about 3 to 4 thousand Rps. When I have MRIs done there always a resident doctor to interpret results,fact is the machine picks up and highlights the problem. AS a foreigner they probably will attempt to jack up the price,just do a walk in with printed price off the net
if biopsy needed,more than probably there and then

Perhaps this guy wants to get the hell out of it and look after his brother who is "not right in the head" also high jacking this thread Mobis thread for a bit of self indulging sympathy, when looking at Mobi right now, all anybody can do is offer utmost sympathy
You are also looking at 2012 prices for op,no way in the world be anything like that now,and your chances of swanning into govt. hospital expecting it to happen are zero

You see all the guys sat on bar stools,thousands of them,tens of thousands of them,all in the same boat.Same guys day in,day out, likened to last chance saloon,..and it is. Just have to get on with it,as an English teacher,not much money there,as the saying goes no money,no honey,no safety net,nobody to help. Suicide capital of the world ,so reports say

What is scaring me is any kind of language issues any kind of complications the fact that anything related to this condition will not be covered by Insurance hear the fact that I'm utterly alone which is a problem both here and in America. Of course I'm afraid my life is destroyed by the recent diagnosis I'm afraid it's going to be very hard to attract a romantic partner as well with this additional new health problem
All the romance you need comes at about 1000 baht a day

New O-A visa applications
This would be good Thanks

Yes many statements made, but the medical insurance requirement is confusing
Is it required for new OA visa? or is it required for OA visa extension?
If answer is yes for both Ill switch to marriage visa.
Thanks

- You can bet your life the quote will be in orbit,if at all Get to an age its hardly worth while anyway,and just half an hour in a private for profit hospital will set you back ten million or so. My estimation,not worth it,its India or bust....guy on here paid 36500 gbp for op in BKK hospital,same-same op India 3000 gbp,get a mole removed and analysed 42500 baht,another recently 17500 baht...over there 500 baht and so on. Id get it for free in UK but the waiting

Without insurance in Thailand I guess it was the only choice.
Though the procedure has a high rate of success, it does require follow up monitoring examinations that without insurance could get expensive.
Echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, stress tests and ongoing relationship with cardiologist that would monitor your progress.
IMO, anyone without insurance should be aware of the above point.
He had the op in Thailand,about 600,000 12000 gbp. Mobi got it wrong tho,he could have gone back to the UK and had the op for free,its what you tell 'em,but he had family here in Thailand ,leaving them. A great believer in marriage,he tried it around 6 times,liked the pop too,but changed.
Yes Thailand for insurance,they like ripping farangs off, all the above you mention for around 3/500 baht,consutants fee too India frightened Mobi for the fact of waking up in a strange land,lots of people go there for treatment to escape the mind boggling charges of Thailand,me inc. Come back Mobi,all forgiven,really hope it is not the end of him,really do
Christ knows the charges in Thailand's for profit private hospitals where most farangs end up
Heart Valve Replacement Surgery by Desun Hospital And Heart India 2 hours away 5000 baht return
Rs. 200000.00/100,000 baht Some dearer,some cheaper,this place likened to a conveyor belt,they do that many -
Read through the 7 or 8 pages ,all I can say is poor Mobi,did not see a conclusion
Mobi ,although he left Thailand about 2 ish years ago,with wife and child did blog frequently with his ongoing life in the UK ,and did frequently,fascinating reading ,and had a lot of followers,however it all came to a juddering halt December 28 last year,not a peep since then.
A moderator here has altered his settings to receive emails,just hope and pray he is still with us,but one of last pics he did look exhausted True character Mobi,one of the best ex-pats in Thailand if you could follow his blogs and see. Hope the 4 dogs he had to re-home are all OK,would have had one but already got 5

Good job at embassy right now..security 140 gbp per day plus expenses
-
Mobi? I do not think he is around anymore,certainly not on TV. Quite liked that guy,but he had his health problems,and this thread is it 7 years old? hope Mobi is OK ,but have doubts
-
Anyone heard or seen anything of Mobi?
-
Father has pacemaker fitted,so I'm thinking its in the family too. Have done research, but in India,open heart surgery came in at 1000 gbp (two years ago),prices would have risen for sure,but still in the ballpark Medifee.com heart surgery

You couldn't be more wrong with that assessment.
"...I remember when they cared and offered personal advice".
They still do.
"They really have become the joke of foreign embassies in Thailand".
Nonsense, unless you're only referring to the usual bunch of Thaivisa irrational haters who love to spit their vitriol in the Embassy's direction. How have they become the joke of foreign embassies...specifically?
Of course you indeed would have first hand knowledge of this particular subject,not that fact you appear not to have any useful knowledge of anything in reality

Nothing to do with "nutters" nor your continued observation of Wiki inspired comments. The baht is manipulated,not downwards but upwards. You need further educating by reading and mainly the English language Thai newspapers.
you keep suggesting the GBP against the Baht,but how do your sensibilities measure up to other currencies? or is that a step far too far? ,historical events concering currency are nonsensical when junta intervention takes hold,one moment there,next moment not there
