My father in law was in a private hosp last week. We had a problem transferring money to pay the bill, They would not let him leave until he paid. By the time we had the transfer fixed up he had stayed passed a certain time which meant he was charged for another 24 hours. I wonder what would have happened if we not sent any money, maybe he could spend the rest of his live there, 'detained until he paid .!!! '
Back on the thread.
I did say above that when I sent a letter of guarantee that I would pay all expenses for my friend's fiancee when she was meeting up with her fiancee in Thailand for a 14 day holiday, they let her travel. I did not get it countersigned etc by anyone, it was just an email or a fax letter.
