arithai12 comments: "the new OPD is absolutely fantastic, efficient, modern, clean. Highly recommended." "The new Sriphat is fantastic and easily at the same level as BKK CM." "Everybody speaks English - well all the info counters staff, nurses, as for doctors I used only two they spoke good English." "Once you get in, on the ground floor, there is an info desk for appointments and inquiries, they speak English, some better than me" "They speak English at a level comparable with BKH CM. They have many foreign customers. Of course they run an appointment system, they tell me at which hour to come (eg 5pm or 6pm) then I get a queue number which is very well respected (unlike e.g. RAM where I often had to protest), comprehensive of QR code and displayed clearly on large LCD screens." "I always speak English at Sriphat OPD, never had a problem. All the signs and writings and receipts are in English." My excellent recent 1st experience at Sriphat's new building matches all of arithai12's comments above. 1st rate from the Info Desk to Registration to all staff I dealt with to the Doctor - 1st class all the way. Less expensive than Ram and BKK CM and at least on the same level - And less crowded I was walked from the Info Desk to the Reg. Desk nearby. When my appt. was delayed due to my Dr. being called away for an emergency, I said I would wait and asked about a coffee shop nearby. They took my phone #, Back down to the ground floor, and not sure which exit to take - Another staffer walked me to the exit and pointed me on my way. I walked about a hundred yards down a corridor to the street, and my phone started ringing. Due to a technical issue I wasn't able to answer the call, nor when it rang a 2nd time. I sat on a bench and rebooted the phone. While waiting for it to turn back on, a nurse appeared - because I hadn't answered, she had taken the elevator to the ground floor and walked the 100 yard corridor looking for me, to let me know the situation had changed and the Dr. was back. Like arithai12, I highly recommend this hospital.

Will Sexy Sax Man be there?

50% of the expected 2 billion baht to be earned by vastly overpriced taxi rides.

Exactly, thank you. (I kept thinking "Something doesn't seem right"). Corrected the post.

For those accessing this thread in the future: Art Hiranyakas seems to be exclusively at Bangkok Hospital - Bangkok. Suwan Sanmee I saw once and was very unsatisfied for multiple reasons and will not repeat. Pawit Sutharat is excellent and I recommend. Listens, is thorough, excellent bedside manner, and also a very nice person. (Offered to refer me to another doctor at the hospital for something else, I told him I have a doctor I use for that. When I was paying my bill he was on his way out, came over to me, asked me if I was able to get an appointment with my doctor successfully). He's at Sriphat once a week, otherwise at Maharaj. Saw him at Sriphat in the new building - very impressed with that hospital/building (my 1st time). Will post more about it in the recent CM Hospitals thread.

I've become an iHerb convert (although I've found the website really annoyng in mutiple ways). Doing a search on their site for "Vegan Scent Free Soaps" turns up MANY choices - trying 3 currently. The site has user reviews of items.

You don't understand the term.

"as for nukes - go for it -..." Could there possibly be a clearer example of how lost most in this thread are? How out of touch with reality can a person be?

Nor did anyone ask you.

Which thread are you referring to?

You recall incorrectly. There is no evidence that Lenin ever used that phrase.

"Have comfort that you have Syria, Nicaragua, Belarus, and North Korea on your side." Straw Man. Nothing to do with the issue being discussed. "In the meantime keep on promoting Putin's favourite nuclear narrative to instill fear in you." Fallout falls sideways too. Nuclear War is the end of the world. It is of grave concern to people all over the world.

Agree totally, except for "Seems that we could be on the brink of nuclear war...". Not "seems", the world IS on the brink of nuclear war. Yet this will be ignored by 95% of the posters here. Could there be a clearer example of being fully propagandized?

Why should they when they have Ukrainians to do the dying.

"today, the empire's troops are garrisoning a significant portion of northeast syria while stealing syrian petroleum...." And Syria has asked them to leave and they have refused. Will the propagandized cheerleaders for a WWIII start flying the Syrian flag along with the Ukrainian for their avatar? Of course not. The Empire has not propagandized them for this. Everything that disagrees with their War Hawk attitude is Russian propaganda. Yet never Once is the Western propaganda questioned or disagreed with. And the end of the World via a Nuclear War is never an issue for them.

How painful were the catheter/cytoscopy/other aspects? What was the purpose of the injections? What was the price?

And yet they face a max of 5 years, and a fine which they will never pay.

Famous chef at an unnamed hotel/unnamed restaurant. Why unnamed?

I suggest you do a search re: problems with mesh.

Many infants have had serious injuries due to this unnecessary and cruel genital mutilation. Babies born healthy need surgical correction???

1) Have you spoken to the other neighbors? They must be going crazy also. What if 4 of you went to the police together, including at least 1 Thai? 2) I like 1 poster's suggestion of speaking to the condo owner. Tell him you can't stand it and will have to leave if he can't do something, and that nobody else is going to stay more than a month . 3) Forum posters everyday talk about police getting brown envelopes - whoever pays the police the most wins in disputes, etc., etc. I've never dealt with the police here. Forum posters - why haven't any of you suggested this? Fear of a ladyboy is that big? 4) Liverpool Lou - "Him." Have Liverpool knock on his door and "misgender" him.

simon43 - Did you do the Urine Test midstream?

Based on posts of yours including one very recently, I'm curious why you get PSA tested. If you ever had a high PSA reading and ultimately a biopsy and cancer cells were found, are there any treatments you would accept?

USA currently has ordinary savings accounts (all insured up to 250k):: 1 at 3.25% (guaranteed rate for 1 year); 1 at 3.05%; 1 at 3.01%; 1 at 3.00% (altho several people say to avoid this bank); 6 banks at 2.80 to 2.90 range; etc.
