Taiwan media platform TVBS reported that a private hospital in Thailand refused to treat a Taiwanese man who later died as a result of his injuries in a car accident. Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged the Thai government to improve its healthcare system.
TVBS reported yesterday, December 11, that the Taiwanese man, whose identity was not revealed, was fatally injured in a car accident. The rescue team rushed him to a private hospital 500 metres away from the accident site but the hospital refused to provide treatment.
The rescue team had to transfer the tourist to a government hospital which was 10 kilometres away. Unfortunately, the Taiwanese victim died on the way to the hospital.
The Tourism Administration of Taiwan reported that the authorities received a report of the death on December 8. The victim was travelling in Thailand with a travel agency, with 19 other tourists and a tour guide.

In a significant move to rebuild trust among tourists, Thailand's Tourism and Sports Ministry has scrapped the long-awaited 300-baht tourism fee and is now working on a new insurance plan for visitors. Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin is spearheading this initiative, aiming to offer a generous 500,000 baht coverage for injuries and an impressive 1 million baht in case of a fatal accident. This ambitious insurance blueprint is designed to ensure the safety of tourists amidst growing concerns over Thailand's safety standards. The government's decision to abandon the 300-baht fee scheme reflects a strategic effort to stabilize tourism sentiment, with plans to consult relevant authorities and the Office of the Insurance Commission for a comprehensive plan and budget. With the dissolution of the Foreign Tourists Assistance Fund two years ago, this new insurance plan aims to provide a permanent mechanism for assisting tourists in need. The collaboration between the Tourism and Sports Ministry, the Public Health Ministry, and the Royal Thai Police underscores the government's commitment to reinforcing tourist safety. Marisa Sukosol Nunbhakdi, president of the Thai Hotels Association, has expressed optimism about the move, believing that it will significantly boost tourists' confidence in visiting Thailand. She recommends transparently outlining compensation amounts based on various types of illnesses and injuries to ensure clarity for tourists.

A visa extension agency in Pattaya has left hundreds of tourists financially swindled and some illegally overstaying in Thailand. Victims, including foreign nationals, reported to the Pattaya City Police after their passports were not returned following payments for visa extensions at the Immigration Office. The Royal Thai Police uncovered a massive visa scam involving 110 corrupt immigration officers who formed a network with local visa agencies, issuing visas illegally to foreigners, especially Chinese investors. The affected tourists, who paid approximately 32,000 baht (US$ 916) each, faced lawsuits and forced repatriation after overstaying. Despite denying charges, the agency's actions have significantly impacted Thailand's tourism image. Legal proceedings are ongoing as authorities gather evidence against the fraudulent agency.
