Thanks for the info penguin, very useful. I'm sure a lot of expats are either unaware of the system, or scared of using the state facilities. I have to say that I have mixed feelings - a baby born in a Thai maternity hospital was an 'interesting' experience to say the least. Of course a one-off anecdote doesn't mean the whole system works that way. It was very different to what I'm used to in the West, but there were positive points as well.
