A Thai man has posted the story about his father, saying his father was a taxi driver and became ill while waiting for passengers at Suvarnabhumi Airport. He claimed the airport allowed only their ’emergency response team’ to transport his father to a nearby hospital and charged him a hefty 13,000 baht for the pleasure! He added that poor people simply didn’t have choices if getting sick at the airport. “What if I am a poor person who doesn’t have any money to pay?” He explained that his father became ill whilst waiting at a parking area inside Suvarnabhumi Airport […]

Perhaps it is time to look at the Samitivej Clinic Suvarnabhumim (private in-house medical contractor) schedule of fees and compare them to other Bangkok hospitals. Then, once it is established they are charging more,  someone should ask if it is due to the nature of service, or overhead, or "management fees" paid to some people at the airport.

There’s a clinic with doctor in arrivals hall ? 911 public emergency service don’t come to airport parking ?

lol… equal pricing for tourists and locals alike. Love it! 

Must have been  a shock, it's the typical charging while his father just died that doesn't surprise me. Do these guys ever learn about being sensitive.

Not that theres a good time to mention a bill that high. The rate is clearly meant for foreigners with fat wallets.

However obviously if taxi drivers are onsite they should all be paying 200-400 baht insurance every month to cover these scenarios like an airport SSO

that's my recommendation going forward .. take note airport authorities .. one wonders if this new 300 baht fee for foreigners would take care of this

Somehow one doubts it.
