Tks. Hubby will try this. He bought such a gadget recently.

Many thanks.

Had a heart attack a few months ago. Due to a kidney issue doc decided not to do an angiogram at the time because of contrast medium. Can't live with this heart problem as I can't even swim 20m or walk at normal pace. The cardio I see is not a person who explains or likes to answer questions how to get the problem dealt with. Any recommendations for a specialist in Bangkok.

I have experienced language issues with staff at Bangkok Christian & St. Louis (also with doctors). My experience at Chula was languagewise better. Consultation price is very similar. If you have the choice & patience go to Chula.

Are you in Bangkok? Problem is that one unit gets blocked by earwax. He can get it out to a point but not completely. This stops the unit from working (blocking microfone?). In the past he got it serviced yearly when we went to Europe. Due to present Mideast conflict we won't be going in the near future.

Tks for the lengthy reply. Problem really is the cleaning of one part. One needs a special tool to take it apart & not brake it. May be next trip to Singapore we can get somebody.

My husband is looking for a shop selling/ servicing hearing aids. It needs cleaning which he can't do himself. Does anybody can recommend a shop in Bangkok. One he contacted in Ekamai was not very helpful. Thanks.

I only ever had one claim in 10 yrs.

I'm with Axa UK. Had a heart attack recently. They refused to cover the inpatient bit. Only had one claim in 10 yrs for case of food poisoning. Pay them 4000€/yr now ( group policy). No doubt they will increase in May by at least 15% going on past history. I will not renew as I can assume they will wriggle out of any claim from now on.

No, retirees don't have all medical insurance from their home country. Nor are they entitled to repatriation. Some countries may offer such perks, my western European home country does not. I have private cover for which I pay dearly.

I understand that it can be very time consuming to get funds from a deceased's bank account released without a will. Can anybody recommend a notary in Bangkok? It is only needed to cover bank deposit. No other assets. Thanks.

I always got 12 months in Bangkok for immigration. No problem to get it done.

Food poisoning usually gives you the squitters. Not constipation. A few days & it would be all sorted out.

Would be super uf EVA had a flight to MUC.

Tks. Will do

Does he operate only from Pattaya or will the drivers be available from Bangkok too? Tks.

You should fill your time doing something useful instead of making up a justification for your baseless imagination.

Because these prominent Thais don't want to be reminded of their failure that none of the clean up promises of air pollution has been met. Stand at a traffic junction and inhale the fumes plus polluted air makes me wear a mask. Everybody to their own.

People have a right to wear or not to wear a mask. Their decision. Why does this bother you?

We lived in SR 20yrs ago. Acceptable rentals were pricey yet nowhere near Bangkok standard. Cost of living was cheap if you lived off local food. Anything imported or a decent western meal was expensive. Overall, it was not cheap to live there.

We went to a newly opened hospital with a few US trained docs. Lots of modern equipment but the place hadn't been cleaned after it had been opened. Still bits of builders stuff inside rooms, plaster bits on the windows & mayhem inside just like Indian street life. This was some years. May be better in Delhi or Mumbai where they deal with more foreigners. Yet we lived in a big city.

We spent 2 yrs in India. I would not have much confidence. Hygiene, cleaniliness was no priority. People don't change because hospital is modern.

Just that Singapore comes at a price. Nothing "affordable" there.

Some do, some don't.

Tks Sheryl. My doc is at Bumrungrad (your recommendation a while ago). He pointed out that price depends on the system the hospital uses. Yet they all claim to have the latest German system, Fresenius.
