Local Surgeon for cataracts?

Re: Massage shop on Soi 4 or Nearby

Re: Best Hospital in HH?

My recent experiences at Bangkok Hospital were in keeping with several of these posts. I went 3 times, average wait time over one hour - even though I had appointments. The doctor who saw me removed a wart from my back and put in stitches. When he removed the stitches the wound opened up within a da...

Re: All about "Dentist in Hua Hin" Useful information.
