Okay here is the process we followed:
We contacted R n R aviation and had to make a deposit of 7 lakh taka initially. The total cost of air ambulance was 22 lakh taka. I had to request the hospital to send letters of acceptance for the patient and request for immediate visa for the accompanying passengers in the air ambulance. The visa was given fairly quickly ( i think two days). The Hospital also dealt directly with the air ambulance company coordinating the transfer from airport runway to the hospital. The transfer cost of the patient from airport to the hospital was included in the contract with air ambulance. Plane landed at Don Muang and my brother had to go through a special immigration process at the Don Muang air port (which is no longer the primary airport in Thailand). The whole thing was not too complicated because the Hospital and the Company took care of everything. We just had to provide the fees and sign the papers.
