    Medical care in Thailand

    By Anonymous, Created on: 15/02/2007, Last updated on: 13/03/2014

    » So next time you go to Thailand for an holiday or medical care give the Thai people the respect they deserve. Because the nurses or the Hotel staff are mostly much under payed and their home situation is many times not so brilliant. Deal with a genuine courtesy, politeness and respect, and not in...

    • smatsa commented : It's like in that travel guide I've read, where the author praises Thais as excellent singers. Fact is that their voices are terrible (the good ones are hired from the Philippines) and just because they like to sing does not mean that they do a good job. Regarding the Medical care it's a bit similar. They really care, yes they do; And Bumrungrad looks nice, yes it does. But at the end all I get for my flu are antibiotics. But of course, you are right, It's also cheaper. And that other guy I knew, he was diognosed with panic attaks after a speedy 10 minutes check-up from the cardiologist at Samitievj and subsequently given Beta Blockers and other habit forming drugs. So, be relaistic, just because its nice an cheap and the nurses are caring, dosen't make it any better from a hospital in the states or Europe.

    Freedom of Ownership by Owning Boathouse

    By Anonymous, Created on: 13/01/2007, Last updated on: 11/10/2015

    » Excellent idea my dear Rooster. I once heard of a farang on Koh Samui who built a detachable house - so when the Bangkok big-shots, who owned the land, decided to do that traditonal Thai scam of telling the farang to move off their land, hoping to get...

    • Anonymous commented : t every corner of the road we travel. We get restrictions that do not allow us the same rights as their country men. We get restrictions on the business' we can own. We get hit with enormous amounts of money needed to operate a business when the locals do not need a single Baht to get a business started. They restrict our time in the country without any due course for us to stay and apply for longer term visa's or even citizenship. And as for marriage to Thai - Western standards it all leans towards the money - if you have it you get by - if you don't have it get out - we don't want you here if you don't have a bank full of money. Do I need to continue ? If more people were to withdrawal their dollars from spending - something as simple as limiting what they spend - it would put Thailand into a financial nose dive of major proportions. We have the ability to shut down their business' - TOURISM - and lower their GDP - of which tourism is a major part. I like Thailand very much - why else would I live here. I just don't like the political and corruption guided government with their eye on what matters them most - taking the money out of someone else's pocket to put in their own pocket. There are ways for foreigners to get things changed - look at the UK and USA and the way immigration laws and restrictions have changed through pressure from other governments - top leaders asking to make a change for the ex-patriots that are living in these foreign countries. In Thailand the DOLLAR speaks very loudly - and if we control it we should use it to our benefit. More should be discussed between foreigners living here in Thailand about just what can be done to twist the arms behind the backs of the money greedy government officials. To get what WE want instead of paying them to get - ? WHAT ? - more restrictions and more corrupt hands facing palm up waiting to be paid.

In the 30 years that I have flown everywhere, I have yet to land in an airport where I could not board a taxi straight after customs clearance and straight to my hotel.Well, the impossible has happened here at the brand-new state-of...

    • Anonymous commented : the airport is when once the traveler gets inside or standing in the long lines for non-Thai travels and those with Thai passport usually has the checker looking into space w/o a person in line. But, that's the Thai way! No?

    • rus-thai commented : he same experience. Usually I travel to Mochit May (North-East bus terminal). Normal price near 400 baht with tall way. One time I took a taxi from ground floor and it cost me 600 Baht! Now I am using departure level to take a taxi.

Mr. King and his staff always meet my flight on time, and always have a clean, late model Honda or Toyota with cold A/C working. I'll keep in mind what advice has been given here if I ever plan to stay in Bangkok. I usually head straight for Pattaya.
