I went to Thailand for my surgery and I hired a woman to be my care giver/companion for two and a half weeks and I am so glad that I did it. It turned out that we both shared everything in common which just made it a pleasure to be with her. I think I paid $600 US, not only did she clean my surgical site she did the laundry, shopping, setting up appointments with the doctor, got cabs, talked to the hotel people, wow she did everything and all I had to do was say thank you. If you want more info let me know.
