My son went to Pattaya Bangkok hospital today. He had an EEG done. They want to do an MRI in a few days. They prescribed KEPPRA 500 mg, 2x daily. The EEG conclusion says: 36 minute EEG is suggestive of a mild diffuse encephalopathy. Also evidence of a cortical dysfunction in the right fronto-centro-temporal. No epileptiform discharges or EEG seizures. The post-ictal EEG is considered. Report doctor: Yod Pinroj I have no idea what this all means. He might consider a second opinion at the Bangkok hospital you recommended previously. He first went to Pattaya Memorial hospital and they could not do the EEG and recommended he go Pattaya Bangkok hospital. Thanks again for all of your info and help.

Dear Sheryl, thank you VERY much for your detailed answers. You are a true blessing and have helped out thousands of people. I have been following you for 12 years and I am always impressed by your knowledge and complete answers to all questions. I will make an appt. with the Bangkok hospital so he can get a complete work-up and rule out any underlying causes. Thanks again for all the Great assistance you offer to members of this forum.

I am asking for help for my 39 year old son who lives in Pattaya. Two days ago he had several seizures, first time ever. From Google they seem to be of the tonic-clonic type. He never had anything like this before. He plays a lot of sports and seemed to be very healthy. There is no family history of epilepsy. His Thai wife took him to the Pattaya City hospital where they did a CT brain scan and other tests. All tests results were normal. He doesn't drink alcohol but does smoke a Lot of pot- Cannabis-marijuana. The hospital will discharge him tomorrow. I don't know yet what medications they will give him. He has no medical insurance but I am able to help him pay for treatments. Is there any better doctors he should see ??? Can anyone who has experience with this offer any suggestions ?? As he is a USA citizen, would he be better off going back to the USA for treatment. Thanks for any help or info.

I appreciate all the posts. Thanks for everyone's help and info.

I had my last colonoscopy done there in 2014 and it cost 17K. Nothing was found. That does seem like a Very good price. Thanks for all the info.

I am 69 and have no known health issues. It has been many years since I have had a blood/urine check. Should I go to one of the Pattaya hospitals or are there better alternatives? It have been 9 years since my last colonoscopy, anyone seen any promotions being offered at the local Pattaya hospitals ? Thanks for any info.

At these low Thailand rates, I would think big money would be leaving Thailand and going to places paying 4% or higher. I really don't understand the FX markets.
