I was wondering what a 'Thia' was? :facepalm:

If you can confirm that the Subject line is supposed to read 'Thai', then I will update it then move your thread to the Thailand forum section.

A clinic? Wouldn't you go to a hospital for that? Plenty of half-decent hospitals in Bangkok, which one to suggest also depends on his insurance status (some private hospitals are outrageously expensive).

If he's not in Thailand anyway and has worldwide insurance coverage, on the other hand... why go to a country where doctors have no ethics whatsoever?

There is a lady named Cheryl (Sheryl?) who posts on whaetver they call ThaiVisa now. She often makes reccos of individual specilists in Bangkok. I followed her suggestions twice and was not disappointed.

different country but I recently enquired for an old bloke friend who is not computer savvy for a Hernia operation at FV hospital in HCMC Vietnam, he had previous procedures there and was very happy with whole service
The two types of possible operation for his current issue were both less than $3000 USD which includes 2 nights in hospital bedside food etc.
They are good at communication on line so if your friend can go there might be an idea to get in touch if not this info might be helpful for others

Perhaps not relevant, but just wanted to chime in: a friend had a hernia operation at a private clinic in Siem Reap 2 weeks ago, he is very happy with treatment and results, says he will be back at the gym in a month. Operation plus 2 night stay was $800.

I also had a hernia operation in siem reap at neak thep I think is it .
It wasn’t near $800 , I guess between 200-300 dollars 💵 .
I could find the receipt if i had to . I was awake the whole time .
They shot something into my spine to make it not hurt and it worked .
I was told I should go to Bangkok or Pp but I didn’t .
I expected to die no matter where it was . ( I came here with a year to live )
Not likeing being there I left the following afternoon .
I never been to a gym since high school and wouldn’t start now .
But want to start some kind of excercise like walking at least except
I was happy since the operation but now i think I might be getting a new one ,
hope not .
