RE: Thailand medical insurance is incredible.
well stated. I should have mentioned that even without insurance SE Asian countries have very high standards of medical care at low prices... yet they still manage to make money. Kind of puts the west into perspective about how much a ripoff it is ($1200 / month is insanity.)
I remember a line from Hangover 2 where Bradley Cooper leaves a Thai hospital and is looking at his bill and he says "six dollars? how's that even possible?"
lol - That's what I thought too. My Thai friends told me I was ripped off! I had 3 drips too. Glucose and antibiotics. I was very sick when I got there and felt about 80% better 6 hours later. I had a good lunch on a prison tray too, which was the first thing I could eat in about 3 days. They wanted to make sure I could eat before I left.
i've fortunately only been in a hospital in Thailand twice for myself and both times it was about as incredible experience a person can have in a hospital. PS> I love IV's... i wonder if it is legal to set up a business that functions only as a hangover cure... nice strong air con, comfortable beds, food made for you that is easy to digest and drip re-hydration. I know i would attend such an establishment :)
Haha! I have been in many hospitals in many countries and Thailand was superior. I am in Malaysia now and hear it is not quite as nice. Those drips really are great. That could be a good model for a business. I think you would draw crowds.
