I had similar experience, after trying a couple of banks I mentioned the problem to a lady at immigration, she phoned a friend who worked in a bank and set up an appointment for me, all went smoothly and have had account for 5 years now.

I visit my nearby govt hospital every 3 months for check up and meds including blood test, heart meds, metformin and a few other meds, always good docs but there is a bit of a wait, usually about 2 hours. Total cost is usually around 600 baht all up inc meds

Fair enough

Hi Whisler, why don't you just get your pension direct deposited into your Thai bank? It comes a couple of days later, usually monday,exchange rate is good and no problems with wise. Just tell social security.

Hi mate,very glad it all went well. How is the pain

Thanks mate,sounds like just what I am after with my arthritic knee. can you let me know doctor please, maybe have to wait for funds

that looks interesting Joepai, care to go into more detail? Cost? Where can you get it done? Recovery time and pain? resuts re walking, pain etc?

I read about a procedure where the doc inserts a teflon coated slip in knee to reduce friction, sounds safer than a full prosthetic but I can't find anywhere in Thailand advertising this. maybe worth asking the doc?
