jasreeve17 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Why was the Korean taken to a different hospital? Is that rhetorical? Either 1) He thought that Bangkok - Pattaya hospital was better, was happy to pay the extra price, and asked to be taken there. or 2) Somebody wanted to help him and thought that that would be better for him, but not the Thais, for some reason. or 3) It's standard practice to maximize the profit from a farang, in all situations. or 4) Something else (gotta be pc!). I'd guess at number 3, but now I'll be accused of being anti Thai... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
