Re: Waterworks down below

I had some blood tests done while in Bangkok. My PSA was a bit high (above 4), but normal for my age according to Google. So, I decided to visit Dr Panupong at his Soi 88 clinic for a finger test. Apparently, prostate felt normal, but advised to check PSA again in a few months. If more elevated, he ...

Re: Hua Hin hospital special medical clinic

I have related this story before - here goes again, without apology. Several months ago, I went to see my usual doctor at 4pm on a Monday afternoon, at the Clinic. He was not there, so I asked to see another doctor – “cannot” – must come back next Monday at 4 pm. My concern now is that if I go back ...

Re: Dentist recommendation

I have had 2 implants and 2 caps installed by the lady dentist at “Hua Hin Dental Clinic”. All went well and I would go back again; she has sufficient knowledge of English. I visited Dr. Nana for a filling and found her to be very good, especially communication skills in English. I would still prefe...

Re: Treatment of Farangs at Hua Hin Hospital

PJG,

Thanks for that cheaper option in Soi 88, plus there will be a saving on the doctor/nurse fee of 1,000 Baht charged at SP.

Re: Treatment of Farangs at Hua Hin Hospital

I have been visiting the Special or Premium Clinic at HHH for several months. I have a routine monthly blood test and then meet my doctor to discuss the results. BTW, the doctor is good – speaks sufficient English and definitely knows his subject. In particular, he keeps detailed case records and co...

Re: Are any buses running to Bangkok

A few days ago, I saw a minibus and a medium sized bus parked on what was formerly waste land; a small signboard says “EKKAMAI”. Seems like small popup bus station to meet a market need; looks quiet with a table and chair ready to take bookings? Location is near MG showroom at Soi 96 area, Petchkase...

Re: Skin doctor ?

I visited Dr Niwat’s Skin clinic several weeks ago. I took a motorbike taxi from Hua Hin down Soi 112, not expecting it to be so far down Soi 112; this was before seeing the excellent location details above. The clinic had several patients waiting; however I was seen next without an appointment. I h...

Re: Trouble sleeping after Japanese food

I've never eaten much Japanese food Pete but when I lived in Indonesia, I ate tofu all the time without any problems. They had another dish, Tempe, also made from soya and I loved the stuff, used to have it for lunch every day. I remember fried tempe lunches in Indonesia – served with green sambal,...

Re: Skin doctor ?

Yesterday, I went to the Rajdhevee Clinic on the top floor of Market Village, on the left side looking toward the theatre, as recommended on other posts here. I was offered 2,500 Baht for the removal of 3 small moles using laser. I declined as that is a little expensive. The price dropped to 2,000 B...
