  1. thanks for the reply sheryl. we had biopsy results yesterday. malignant sadly. they did a CT scan which we are going back today for the results for. I have little knowledge of the thai government health system. would she have a better chance if we rush back to the UK to get treatment. either NHS or we also have some UK private insurance coverage upto £50,000. its unlikely we can afford under the thai private system as yesterday's CT alone was 20k baht so suspect we're looking at 1mill + to go private here. the Dr said waiting times are sadly long at the moment here in Thailand due to pressure on the system from covid
  2. 5am unable to get to sleep myself now. lol. she's fast asleep. lol. I cannot stop worrying about it. in true English style I'm playing out every outcome in my head and the more I think the more I'm dreading this... even started wondering what happens in Thailand if a foreign husband does not agree with her Thai parents about what the best thing to do is. in the UK husband is next of kin. in Thailand is that the case?
  3. wishing I hadn't started reading about this now. from what I can see it's a bit more than a standard hysterectomy that could be needed as the tumour is further down. ???? making it at least stage 2. 4am. can't sleep. I've read more about this and think I'm getting more worried than she is !!!
  4. morning all. my Thai wife is here in chiang mai visiting family for 3 months and I've just flown over also for a couple of weeks. having not seen each other for a while we did what couple do and to be blunt it was a bloodbath. prompted a visit to sriphat medical center as we were in a hotel in chiang mai Town for a couple of nights. she's from wang phrao which is about 80km further up in the middle of nowhere. result showed a 5cm cervical tumour. awaiting biopsy report over the next couple of days. now... I of course (and she also) wants this sorted and hoping very much its not malignant. is sriphat any good ? are there better alternatives ? all my googling says most likely looking at a hysterectomy but I'm a man so this is one thing I know nothing about. we could also instead fly back to the UK however very concerned about waiting times. so the question is. if this is what's needed Where's the best place to go and terrible to say but I'm not made of money so price if a great deal is a concern,
  5. morning all. arriving in chiang mai on 18th March 9am and need a rental car until 4th April. any recommendations please that do NOT need a credit card, debit card is OK, but not credit. my thai wife and me (UK, with international driving permit) to drive.
  6. it's seems almost easier to just get married again in Thailand instead of updating there information
  7. good morning guys. my Thai wife and I married in the UK about 2 years ago. her thai passport & ID both still have her maiden name on. she is currently back in Thailand visiting family in chiang mai and she wants to change her Thai paperwork to the married name also. she has English banks and driving licence in married surname however all her Thai paperwork and visa paperwork use maiden name. she went to the local government office with her UK marriage certificate and UK driving licence in hand and tried to change her surname but was sent away being told she needed British embassy and MFA paperwork, translations and things certified. and also had to register the marriage in Thailand then also change names on the tabien bahn at whatever property she is listed on, but no longer lives at to Thailand before anything can be done. is it really that hard to do ? would it be easier to be done in UK London Thai embassy on her return
