Checked both Rutnin & Bangkok Hospital (I was happy with both). Chose Dr Taranee at BH. I wear glasses anyway & happy to still wear, 80,000 Bht. Excellent from start to go. Ensure you understand the cell count problems that make the procedure & follow up costs more expensive & results less if you leave too long or other diminishing returns when over 70 years old.

I for one agree that hospital care prices for farangs & Thais should be different. Their healthcare system struggles (as does the NHS, NZ Health & Aust' Medicare" ) 3 that I know of. Why should they subsidize us unless working & paying SS when you are elgible. And we will not talk about the crazy prices in the US. It is one of the risks we take living here up to a point. I have insurance but only up to 2 mil per op which would in no way cover anything major

Patong Hill road reopens, paving the way for smooth travels
natway09 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
If fixed that quickly can only be a temporary fix. Get started on the tunnel, certainly Phuket must have put enough money in the Governments sludge fund by now -
Patong’s peril: Road collapse has drivers on edge in Phuket
natway09 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
The lack of longterm planning & infrastructure spending on the right things is epitomized here in that the tunnel has not been completed years ago, it really is a no brainer but the only 2 reasons I can logically think of why not built is that they do not have the knowledge to do so or if a suitable contractor who can has not been found that will play the illegal "commission" game -

TAT forecasts surge of Chinese tourists into Thailand via land in 2024
natway09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The more driving in cars & motorbikes will push the Chinese injured, maimed or killed up & bad publicity will kill (excuse the pun) this way of travelling around Thailand. Now, back to the airport........ -

Doubts over Thai target of 8.2 million Chinese visitors in 2024
natway09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They had a great opportunity during Covid to clean the place up, put tourist infrastructure in place, reeducate the taxis & get the taxi mafia & other rip off merchants sorted. The quality of spoken english could also have been improved during this time for the tourist areas along with the police needing to somehow make the roads safer on the vastly improved roads. They blew it. The tourist industry will roll along but the opportunity to have really top quality tourism in lesser numbers but really high spending has gone as although there are many really good quality hotels the amenities outside of their establishments just does not stack up -

Aggressive Taxi Drivers that hang around outside hotels.
natway09 replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yes, agree with the original poster, they can be dangerous, Witnessed a taxi who thought he had the "street covered" & after a lady refused to pay the extortionate price requested hailed a passing cab. Within seconds he had a long sword out & was about to attack her. The hotel security guard intervened...... I went to park my pickup on Sukhumvit Soi 11 in a normal parking spot & was told on no uncertain terms "NO, Taxi only. So moved 50 yards down & parked with this guy running after me No, No. I just walked past him & got bumped & a "cutthroat sign" When I returned 20 minutes later I had 2 front cut tyres & the brand new spare had been unwound & stolen. They are a mafia & dangerous. Some of you must lead a very sheltered life here -
Been in the business for many years. Your question is impossible to begin answering without a lot more information as is a very complex business, not only decibels but frequencies need to be considered along with flanking. You will not "soundfroof" a house or room without considerable cost but can reduce significantly

Breathalyzer tests proposed for Thai nightlife venues
natway09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The checking of patrons has & is done by many bars. Having owned & operated bars in Bangkok for 25 years we have taken more keys to motorbikes & cars off people than I can number. Our bar in lower Sukhumvit was open till 4am on a regular basis. And "Smokey & the Bandit" refused drinks to many. -
