Had a similar surgery at Kasetsart University in Bangkok.  Inexpensive and amazingly good experience. Highly qualified doctor. 

Hi @GiveMeAColdOne thanks for the response. The hospital down south may not be working out. Can I get more details on Kasetsart University? Contact number and cost if you have it. TIA

Thanks for the response @LikeItHot. I was able to snap the photo of the x-ray on the wall for the picture I have from Youngnum Hospital. We are now in touch in a hospital with locations in Hat Yai and Surat Thani whose surgeon can perform this surgery. The surgeon comes to Surat on 24 July. She runs out of the vets pain pills today, hasn't been needing them much, will look for your suggestion. Thanks all

Which vet did you go to on Samui?

I went to Dr Somsak (across from PO) first, where they referred me to Yumyung Hospital, where the x-ray was taken. The x-ray clearly shows the torn ligament.

Thanks

Are you sure about the diagnosis, as tendons have a better chance of healing by themselves over time.  Ligaments may or may not need surgery.

 

 

Good question, here is the x-ray, the fibula bone should be more to the left. Ligaments are not holding in position.

 

I have (had) an active dog that loves to go on walks and run and jump. Last week on our walk she jumped and yelped in pain. She started to limp and 6 days later could not put weight on the leg. Took her to vet hospital and she has been diagnosed with a torn ACL in her Rt rear leg. Vet says the only hospital that can perform the required surgery is in Bangkok. Anyone else have any experience with a good dog orthopedic surgeon? I live on Koh Samui

Thanks for any help.

Hard to find a secluded beach on Samui. The island is overbuilt, and completely in decay. We spent 8 days on Samui last week, and can not imagine to retire there.

You need to get away from Chaweng and Lamai. WIthin 15 minutes of my home are some beautiful beaches that are completely empty.

Prices not so bad at Bangkok Hospital, all of the tests you want and more for 3900bt

I have bought it at Gai's pharmacy on Maenam Soi 4 (Walking St), near the end on the entrance side on the right side. Works good with ants

What did the boat do there, it's way of the normal route. 

 

Other reports said that the currents carried them from the boat sinking to the islands

He mentions the booze ban but not that it was instigated due to a group of young Thai revellers sharing bottles and passing the virus amongst each other (a single incident).

His apprehension at leaving safe Thailand and returning to America is understandable with the USAs lax attitudes towards the virus and unrest.

 

More then one case, in my locale I know of three incidents that didn't help.

Only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If you are on FB you will see their schedule. Good Mexican food there

As CLS said, but there are also outgoing and transiting passenger flights out of BKK. Most inbound flights come in empty and fly out with passengers. No incoming flights except for those repatriation flights and those cargo flights.

Agreed with past comments, a PO Box is the way to go at only 500bt for a year. Give it a go

Agree with Tropicalevo about Bangrak and Maenam, would also include Bang Por, quite a few restaurants up there serving.

Babu's Indian Hot in Maenam is probably the best on the island.

I have however seen cars get blocked in by trucks who cant be bothered finding a space, and want to park as near to the airport entrance as possible.

Thai style double parking, they leave the car in neutral and they expect you to push it out of the way.

I've used this web application to send a fax to the US all with good results and no cost for limited pages.

Bogus. 5x more untested.

You need to include deaths in that as well, they don't waste the kit on those that have died.
