To be fair, I doubt whether anybody reading this thread will know to any degree of certainty, whether the provision of the Bangkok Hospital has led to improvements to the Hua Hin Hospital, and/or to what extent - the main issue is that the HH Hospital has had a major investment in its facilities for which we can all be grateful.

This is the part I was referring to.

I'd be very surprised any of the investment was because there are expats or tourists here. It is all done for the Thai population, and I'm very grateful that we can take advantage of the services.

I've been to public hospitals in expat areas with a much higher concentration of expats and tourists, and it was like the pre-improved Hua Hin Hospital.

I beleive that you are all missing the point. The Hua Hin Hospital is there to provide for the areas prime family, regardless of whether or not they are in full time residence.

I'm not missing any point. I gratefully accept that I am able to use the public facility. As far as Hua Hin Hospital is concerned, I very much doubt whether the presence of expats or tourists has influenced anything. They provide the best service they can for the Thai public, and they allow me to use their facility.

[Edit] It is the thought that Bangkok Hospital is influencing the wonderful improvements that I find incredulous.

Oh well, you obviously know more about it than me. The fact remains that for many years the Hua Hin Hospital has provided a much higher level of facilities than any other provincial government hospital. The cardiac unit was provided for one reason only, as an example.

Yes, but was it provided because Hua Hin had expats, tourists or because of Bangkok Hospital as is being suggested?

We probably all know the real reason.

In judging hospitals, much attention is given to facilities and equipment when the real factors that are important are the abilities and attitude of the staff. I broke my ankle about a year ago. I went to the HHH and received excellent care. Both the lady ER Dr and the young male Orthopedic Surgeon spoke excellent English, explained everything at length and were speedy and efficient. The bill was ridiculously low.

I would like to visit HH Hospital and see an orthopedic surgeon.
Can you let me have the telephone number , or do I just turn up at the Express Clinic. Can you guide me as to its whereabouts. I guess making an appointment is not possible? Thanks all

I had a medical a couple of weeks ago and because of a separate problem, I was referred to the orthopedic doctor. Unfortunately, it seems that the clinic doesn't have access to one. He's only there after 5pm. The clinic made the appointment and it is stamped 'express'. It meant I had to turn up for the appointment with all the 'regulars' although I did seem to be attended to quite quickly so the 'express' may have an effect.

Thanks HHTel - So I just go to the main reception after 5.00pm and ask for an appointment, or should I go earlier if there may be others waiting?

Hua Hin hospital has an orthopaedic surgery every evening Monday to Friday. It should start about 5pm but seems to begin a bit earlier than that. If you get there about 4.30 you'll probably be on of the first patients to be seen. This is on the ground floor. You should register at one of the windows just inside the main entrance and then go report to the nurses' station at the ortho clinic. It may sometimes be a little busy, but not too bad because it's not free or even only 30 baht for Thais as it's classed as out of hours.

If you prefer to use the express clinic then that's mon-fri 8am-3pm.

I visited the express clinic to day at 12'o'clock for getting some medicine for my heart. I have got the medicine from my home country and now it's nearly finished. The young lady at the desk asked me if I had been eaten this morning and then turned me away and said no service after 12. I had to come back to morrow at 8'o'clock. Well, i did not had the chance of telling her the reason I'd come there, so why the question about my eating habits?
I will go again to morrow and see what's happening and maybe I have to drop my breakfast! :roll:
