Exactly!!! "the cam girls, penpals and family donations/gifts from abroad will be declaring"??? not in a million years

Thank you Sheryl, I always appreciate your quick response and your comprehensive infos. I am familiar how things work in government hospitals, anyhow, thank you for detailed description of processes, and esp. for the freezing environment, which I also experienced at the Institute of Dermatology the other day. So i will keep this in mind. In HH hospital creatinine values differed a lot in several checks from 163, 1,53 and then 1,75. So still high. eGFR was 45,08 an then 38,32 Ultrasonography showed kidneys in small size: 8.3 and 7.9. It is time to have a more in-depth examination carried out. Will try to contact chula the next days. Thank you again, Sheryl!

Can anyone recommend a nephrologist in a government Hospital in Bangkok? I am diagnosed stage three renal failure (from Hua Hin hospital) and would like have a more in depth analysis of the root cause and possible treatment. I have already some experience with state run hospitals (in other matters) and would like to prefer one of those. Doctors usually speak decent English and I speak enough Thai to get around with the nurses. Maybe Sheryl has some good advice…

This green moss is extremely dangerous. I think I saw warning signs out there, but some visitors may not see them or underestimate the danger. It can't be said loud enough: Don't step on the moss!!! And yes it is Pak Nam Pran Beach.

Exactly! and a lot of other questions

Apart from the little green buses cruising the main road up and down there is no public transport in Hua Hin. The mentioned Hua Hin Car Company Limited is a private company presumably offering private transportion services.

wrong place

Making a big fuzz about smoking under open sky but turning blind eye to the chaos on the roads. So disproportionate. Exactly!!!!

Hua Hin = Paradies city - What a pompous euphemism. It never was. You should be ashamed

I got a ticket for passing a red light in the middle of Hua Hin. A former neighbor came to bring me the ticket as I had changed my living place in the meantime. I went to the police station but they send me away as paying the ticket is done at the post office. I went there and paid but was not asked for my driving licence. As a warning: Respect the red light of the main crossing on Phetkasem Road of roads 77 and 55 as it is heavily armed with CCTV and many reports in the meantime.

This camp is really off the beaten track but a little treasure in itself. Way back in time we enjoyed picknicking on the green lush riverside meadows of the Pranburi River and even bathing in the shallow waters. The camp is well worth a visit not only for nature lovers as many places/installations can be accessed free of charge or with a small fee (swimming pool). It even has its own hospital and a small evening/night market. The camp is vast in exent. So be sure to have your own transportation. At the entrance you have to leave an id document, which you will pick up when you exit. Enjoy!

As for the green songtaew (the locals call them "rot takiab") the price increased to 15 Baht (previously 10). As to my knowledge prices for motorcycle taxis have stayed the same. They might range from 30 to 60 Baht, depending on distance.

Nana Dental Clinic

I had it done in Hua Hin in a private clinic. Offered price was 800-1000 Baht, due to complexity I paid 1500 in the end.

Absolutely the wrong signal. Two days ago I was walking through the (former) bar district in Hua Hin. It was as dead as I have never seen it before. Restaurants virtually completely empty, no customers, bars closed, locked stores, abandoned dark buildings in detoriation, nowhere a tourist. Same situation on the beach. No tourists! Instead of increasing the entry fee the government should hand out to every tourist who ventures to come into those lifeless ghost towns a voucher of 300 Baht and give a free meal for the first day. It is the time to think about incentives and not of squeezing brave, venturesome, courageous tourists.
