In a case like this I suggest you follow through with Prof  Tanawat.

 

The various govetnment hospitals you asked sbout would entail long wsits, red tape. The  inexpensive public channel would not allow for choice of doctor and care would be provided by residents/interns in training. You'd have to start over from scratch with consultation etc.

 

 

Thank you, really appreciated!

Is this for routine screening or a specific problem  (If so,  what )

It is likely a post infectious irritabile bowel syndrome as a result of an acute gastroenteritis I had more than 8 months ago which I've never fully recovered from. But as I was told by Dr Thanawat I need colonoscopy and gastroscopy to rule out other possibilities (Crohn disease, bowel cancer, or other).

Prof. Tanawat Geeratragool is well qualified and has published widely in international journals.

 

Piyamaharajkarun is affiliated with Siriraj but is their private wing and they pretty well peg their prices to be just a little less than places like Bumrungrad. 

Well, it's good to know I'm in good hands at least. I actually wanted to make an appointment with Prof. Smochai Leelakusolvong but the first available date was in February 2024. I've also asked about Assist. Prof. Uayporn Kaosombatwattana but I'd have to wait until December. Any thoughts about Ramathibodi or Chula or Bhumibol hospitals? You seem to know really a lot!

I have an appointment for a colonoscopy plus gastroscopy at Piyamaharajkarun Hospital (Siriraj) in a couple of weeks. As an estimate I've got 44000-50000 Baht all included. There are possible extras like 12000 for a biopsy. I don't remember the price for polyp removal... I thought that hospital would be cheaper, since it's part of Siriraj but after reading this thread I'm not so sure anymore. Any recommendations? Does anyone have any experience with Dr. Thanawat? I've had a very positive impression as he listened very carefully to all I had to say and scrupulously explained everything to me but that's all I know.

Well then, for at least three hours a day you're part of the problem.

That's what commuters have to do when there is no better alternative for travelling from home to work and back. As soon as the new extension of the BTS will reach my area (2021) I'll cease to be part of the problem. Cheers.

it'd be obvious to anyone who lives here

I've been living and working here for over 10 years and I drive a car in Bangkok for at least 3 hours a day every f*****g day! Discussing with you is a total waste of time... Have a good life.

Biggest risk of accidents in Thailand is due to regular road traffic. I don't recall hearing of anyone run over by a vendor cart. 

You seem to be one of those who skip reading the article altogether and jump to comments. If not, your reading comprehension is at the level of a Thai third grader...

The problem is that the hundreds of carts don't leave space to emergency vehicles in case of need. You're enjoying your beer when suddenly there is an explosion and a fire. You and others are hurt and unable to escape. You could have been rescued but unfortunately the rescue vehicles were unable to reach you because of the blockage caused by too many street vendors. Result: you die! 

Do you understand the problem now? Wake up!!!

The word "prostitution" has different meanings: this is one of those...

Okay, let accidents happen and people die so that you can maintain your ****** livelihood. Then, go pray at the temple to make merit...

Just about everywhere in Thailand is an "accident waiting to happen"; particularly those areas frequented by tourists. Safety is not high on the priority list as exampled by the new world record in road deaths. Military juntas are not recognised for their humanitarian qualities.

That's not to say some other countries, even without military generals running them, don't face similar problems. 

So in the end you suggest which of the following? 

A- Well done, have more of these initiatives!

B- No need to bother, it'll never work.  Give up. 

C- Other (explain)

Don't worry, most will just buy a couple of extra bottles of whiskey the day before to bridge the "no alcohol sales" period and continue happily.

Or go to the grocery next door instead of 7/11...

This must be the most ignorant comment I've ever read!

Let the animal take his life! Is anyone worried about the stress caused to the girl by the rape? Unbelievable, the world is upside down...
