Last night I went to a clinic with my wife about a problem she was having and decided to ask the doctor about my dizziness which started after my COVID vaccine last year and was especially bad yesterday. The doctor in the US I saw last summer had said both my eustachian tubes were congested and so I brought this up with the doctor and asked him about it. Immediately he dismissed the very idea and didn't even bother to check. He did however check my blood pressure which was a little high yesterday (no idea why) and gave my some pills. This isn't the first time this happened and it's the reason I don't even bother with them anymore. They'll make any diagnosis within 5 minutes just by talking with you, no tests required apparently and they always get it wrong. It's a shame because dentists in Thailand are very excellent and at least as good if not better than in the US. Anyways, in the US we have what we call private practices which in my experience have been entirely competent and generally speaking we don't go to hospitals unless there's something more serious. In Thailand however, are hospitals your only choice? I'd like to have a doctor that at the least isn't trying to see each patient 5 minutes at a time. I'm in Chiang Mai (Mae Jo/Mae Rim area), does anyone have any recommendations for a doctor I could see to diagnosis this again and see if they can confirm the original diagnosis by the doctor in the US? I'll go to a hospital if I need to but that seems overkill for such a thing. Thanks!

I'm looking around at land prices in Chiang Mai (outside the city in the NE parts) and there are plots up for sale everywhere but the prices are surprisingly high, at least 1 million per Rai. Not talking about in the city off big roads, just random plots around where I live. Do people who know the land market know if these prices are normal or is there something happening right now? For comparison here is 1.6 Rai in Columbia SC for $11,00 USD. A fraction of what you would pay in Chiang Mai. Not sure if these are comparable but still, the US land is much cheaper so it makes me wonder what's going on here. Is it really possible you can buy land in the US cheaper than in Chiang Mai?
