TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion primarily revolves around the costs associated with various Softpower courses in Thailand, highlighting specific experiences from expats. Prices mentioned include 0 baht for a dentist's letter, 15,000 baht for a Muay Thai course, and 60,000 baht for a friend's package including classes and visa processing. Other costs discussed include 40,600 baht for cooking classes and 10,000 baht for a nature course with seminars. There is also commentary about the perceived high costs of classes in relation to visa options.
Your clearly not familuar with what that phrase means.

my friend paid 60k for 5 years of classes and the visa processing was an additional 60k. He had to spend a month in Vietnam.
they hit him with the class fee AFTER he got home after a month in Vietnam, saying the original 60k didn't cover the classes and was for the paperwork. Was quite a baffling situation, but I guess 5 years of classes at that price is an ok deal if he attends them.
good to know. I have insurance through my former employer. Still they can suck sometimes. Last year in Thailand they have denied claims for medicine not being USFDA approved, or not getting pre-authorization for my medicine. Medicine is expensive so of course they originally found way to deny it. Or denying room charges because I got the “premier” room which they thought was a fancy room. They did pay after the hospital wrote them explaining the room premier is just a basic room. Hopefully this year will be easier dealing with them. 🤷♂️ cheers 🍻
Depends on the country. I read about someone who was denied in Singapore because the treatment 'was not for a long-term disease.' He tried with the same documents in Vietnam and succeeded. The treatment was Invisalign.
Another person—I don’t remember which country he applied in—tried with a letter for two dental appointments (a root canal or something similar) and succeeded as well. However, that was early on. I guess they could get stricter over time.
I could see 300-400 but 1500 is expensive and not a drop in rate. People look at it as part of visa cost. The figure 18,000 + 10,000 for visa not bad. But you probably have to do visa runs not extensions. I think the annual cost with annual is expensive
The doctor or workcation is better deal. Especially if you really need doctor dm treatment away.
