Which hospitals in Bangkok can I get a fair price for surgery or should I go back to Europe ?

It's a straight forward typical septoplasty case , had a scan done. I was quoted €2-4k in high quality European hospitals. I've been quoted €7k-€8k in yanhee and vejthani.

It's weird because on yanhees website it's advertised as 81k baht. From What I can find these quotes are extremely overpriced. I've asked Thai people and they said they are just charging me based on what they think I can pay. At this rate id be better off flying back to Europe for the surgery , is there any hospitals in Bangkok that don't try to rip off white people ?

You might want to try Bumrungrad or Bangkok Hospital but even they tend to charge foreigners more. Honestly, asking a Thai friend to call and book it for you under their name could get you closer to the real price.

honestly just go to a government hospital like Siriraj or Ramathibodi, they have fair pricing for everyone and the quality is solid. forget the private ones if theyre playing that game with u

Check if your insurance covers it overseas, that might change the math entirely. Samitivej has packages on their site that could match the European price.

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
