Topsipp,

I have not been a sufficiently great contributor to presume to welcome you, but welcome anyway!

What I'm trying to remind myself all the time is what Neilrob put rather bluntly; lots of information, fully developed, is available by using the search function of this forum. I just recently, for example, reviewed choices for dentistry services. Didn't have to ask the question, for which - had I started a new thread - not a few members (old timers young and old) would have chastised me. And yes, often closely phrased queries on Google or other search engines may pay with specifics.

Anyway, if you know the location of Airport Mall and go SSW on 108 (Hang Dong Rd.) past the Lotus/Tesco (big signs), you'll soon discover a tall building on the left. Lately they have mounted huge signs on it (visible coming north as well) with that 'geriatric' word. *Actually, latest information is that they're accepting folks over 50 yrs/age until their patients multiply.

By the way, a "pinned" subject above on our forum subject listings will reveal suggested medical resources.

CMX thanks for the welcome and your input but I am curious to know why members, old timers or newbies feel they have the right to "chastise" anyone. This is an open forum of equals is it not?

The phone numbers are: Phone number is 053 920 605 or 053 920 666.

The outpatient Dept opens at 7am for labs and x-rays, physicians are there 8am-8pm (closing for lunch 12-1pm) There is also a good rehab. dept--you must have a referral from a CMU doctor though (session is B400). There is a sleep lab too (but about a one month waiting list) Good parking available with 2 lots in the back of the hospital. No emergency room--if you come with an emergency, you will be taken to Maharaj (they have an ambulance standing by at all times though.)

I spent a couple of days there and found good service at a low price.

At last, a helpful post.

And this: https://www.facebook.com/Geriatric-Medical-Center-783326718429203/timeline

It's in Thai and they haven't updated it recently, but it does show a photo of the building, a map and phone number. Everyone I know who has used the facility has been very pleased.

Nancy, my sentiments entirely, thank for your input

BarnicaleBob, Thankyou for your very helpful and informative post its very much appreciated

Northern John, thanks for the information much appreciated.

Neilrob, what is the purpose of you unhelpful comments?

Does anyone have the exact address or telephone number for the new Geriatric Hospital? I have been unable to find anything about it online except for a few posts on Thai Visa

There is a shop on Sri Donchai opposite the temple at the moat end which sells the Honda Gyro 3 wheel motor bike. Its a 50cc machine which actually leans into bends. About 30,000 baht. Never ridden one but like yourself I feel I could handle one.

This is probably one of *THE* dumbest things I've read on T.V.... Just to prove the point, lets substitute "hat" with another popular men's fashion accessory...

Why do men, especially Europeans, continue to wear watches indoors and at night? I was always told that it was polite to remove your watch when inside. Also, watches serve *ONE* purpose, to tell you the time. Neither of which apply at night or indoors. There are clocks on most walks. There is a clock on your phone. There's clocks on all the mobile phones around you. You can even estimate the time by looking at the night sky and notating the position of the stars in relation to the time of year!!

I wish some could explain. Why don't you arbitrarily remove your watch as soon as you enter a building or the sun goes down?!?!?

-Mestizo

Mestizo, if this is one of the dumbest things you have ever read on TV then why respond to it. Constructive criticism is fine, but surely the objective of a forum is to seek advice or answers to something you do not know

Can someone please explain why so many men, especially Americans, who wear hats indoors and at night. I was always told that it was polite to remove your hat when inside. Also, hats or caps serve either one of two purposes, to protect your head from the sun or for warmth. Neither of which apply at night or indoors.

I wish some could explain.

Can anyone tell me when the Chiang Mai bike week is and where it is taking place

Can anyone tell me where I can get clothes dry cleaned in Chiang Mai?

Lobin, I have one unopened box of 12 Malarone tablets from when I worked off shore Tanzania, if they are any good to you make me an offer
