Not Telling
Thanks for the info. In the end he decided to go up through Chachoengsao - left this morning around 6. Spoke to some people at work who have family in the central region and they seemed to think that it would be slow through some parts.
Couldn't fly, though, as he plans to bring back a couple of sacks of new rice, some pumpkin, bamboo, and other various village staples.

I don't know how my reply ended up as part of mkawish's post... that's what I get for trying to multitask! 
This was actually my post:
I've heard this about money as well. Both my kids were born C-section. First one emergency and 5 weeks early - doctor would not accept a money gift afterwards, though he eventually agreed on a bottle of whisky. Second was after a very long a difficult labour that just wouldn't progress - different doctor, but she also would not accept money from us. We gave her flowers and a basket thingy full of treats from Rimping or somewhere like that. My husband was the one trying to give them something but they just wouldn't take.
Do Thai/Thai couples normally pay that much to a doctor?

I'm not a supporter of the c-section as the only option route many thai docs try to force but I do beleive in a mothers choice & in this instance it may be a viable option for you. You want to stay in Thailand, control the cost, not have any nasty suprises during labour & you have a family history of complicated vaginal births.
Obviously, things can always go out of control even when doing your best to keep control of them, nothing much you can do about that & something you will just deal with if it happens but you can try to minimise the risk of complications etc so a c-section may be a solution to all issues.

And he/she desires cash right after the end of the procedure.
I told the ob that it was kind of unprofessional to demand such huge sum.
she smiled and struck her tongue out at me.
