Jeez, I just gave you an external reference ranking Bumrungrud. And there are others if you google. Please do not take your pain situation out on Thai med care as a whole. If you can get your problems fixed in your home country then fine, but even that seems beyond your reach. Yet you keep whining.
If it was Bumrungrad, in my experience he has got reason to whine. They would also have performed open wallet surgery. You may also find the same doctor can be seen at a Govt hospital for a fraction of the cost.
It works the other way around too. I know one doctor who works at a Police hospital... not known for being the greatest hospitals. But he also moonlights at Bumrungrad, where you will pay several times the price for the same doctor.
Like most things Thai, there is the image and then there is the reality.
It is not so much which hospital you choose. The trick is to find the doctor who knows about your particular condition.

We wait (with baited breath... pun intended) to see how the Tourist Authority put a spin on this. Free smog masks for tourists?

On the launch stage with a young lady in tight black leathers it looked good too.
Did you ask if she comes with it?
When I looked at a Mercedes Benz the sales girl said that if I buy the car I get her too. I asked for a test ride as this would have saved 4 Million Baht..... Most expensive short time ever!

Oh dear. I suggest you research reincarnation before posting things like that.
I did.... you obviously did not.
And before anyone comments, no I am not religious.

The problem with women is they depreciate and you end up stuck with them like some old car. Car salesmen have the right idea relating to women:- When her bodywork starts to go and she needs expensive servicing, trade her in for a new model. I have informed Lady Roadrunner that when she reaches 40 I am going to swap her for two 20's.

The way it's going, the Visa problems we have endured will become irrelevant. The pollution is driving me out of Bkk.
I guess the main cause is crop burning and I don't see the Gov't doing anything about it. Think I can also smell pesticides. Telling the farmers to stop is probably like talking to a wall.
Never have I seen a country shoot itself in the foot like Thailand, all in the name of greed. And it looks as though they can't even understand what went wrong. They never learn.

This is Thailand, get your priorities right man. Why worry about your big head? So long as your little head is not too big for the condom.

In some countries drivers even take to the sidewalk to get out of the way for an ambulance. Stringent penalties are in place for those who don't. Remember, one day it could be YOU in the back of the ambulance.... but I guess that would not even enter the minds of the ignorant selfish bonehead Thais.
In some countries Police will use their night stick to put some nice dents in your car if you break the law. It makes an incredible noise when they whack the roof of your car. The Thais love their cars and would soon learn to behave if Thai Police did the same. Not much chance of such progress here though.....

Poor ickle wickle doggie, I honestly hope they all die, they are another stain on Thailand, and the morons that feed them are the lowest of the low, you can't walk into a convenience store without having to step over some mangy mutt and you never know if it's gonna rear up and bite your butt.

No excuses for battering the poor creature to death. Dogs have a hard enough life in Thailand.
Typical Thai thoughtless ignorant violent response. Such nice Buddhist people.

Unlikely they would target Thailand. There is probably more chance of us dying from the pollution.

Huge fires in Australia and the Amazon (the lung of the planet). Mankind is in big trouble. It's not like we have another planet to go to.
In Bkk it smells like crop burning plus insecticide to me. This being Thailand, will they ever do something to educate the farmers? Don't hold your breath waiting (pun intended).
It comes to the point where it does not matter what immigration do about the visa reg's. TM30 or 90 day reports vanish into insignificance as we are all going to leave to escape the pollution.
And who is going to pay millions of Baht for a condo in Bkk when the air is not fit to breathe? I foresee a Chinese Thai in Bkk, with a fist full of money.... but he is dying as the air and water have turned to poison.
Take a look at air quality in Da Nang and Nha Trang Vietnam. Coastal cities and islands are the only places left with clean air. Roadrunner is planning to leave Bkk this year.
When will man learn?

Lucky he didn't own a huge truck.
A fine example of Thai male thought process there.

He was so drunk his Thai sounded like Spanish..... OK lets blame the Farangs.

If any of you own a similar white Lexus, I would say NOW is the time to sell it!
This guy likely has so many enemies they will have a hard time narrowing down who fired those warning shots.

I use my finger... to show the dash cam recording the scene... strangely these bxxtxrds become, suddenly, very calm lol
Which brings me to the question.... which dash cam to buy?

I am looking at the Yamaha Aerox and wondering how it compares with the ADV and PCX?

Someone should tell immigration there is no need to make our visas harder to obtain. If the pollution gets worse we are all going to leave anyway.
Last few days here in Bkk I can smell what I think is crop burning, plus a chemical insecticide smell. Wind from the north east.
When will man learn, we only have one planet. I foresee a Chinaman with a fist full of money, but he is dying as the air and water have turned to poison.

Why not simply pull over and let the idiot go, end of story.
What you did, in my opinion was dangerous and foolhardy. It could have ended very badly for all of you.
But hey, I wasnt there, and each to his own, but what you did is not something I would to do or recommend to others.
Agreed. Some of the Thais carry knives, iron bars and even guns. It does not take much to get one of them fired up either.
So I spend a lot of time avoiding these idiots on the road, but there is a limit to ones patience.

If they made it easier to get a Non O or business visa and work permit, Thailand would not have this problem of people working on tourist visas.
I recall applying for a work permit long ago and, having submitted all the correct paperwork, was turned down. How can you expect people to go the straight way when the labour dept is corrupt? 20,000 Baht went under the table before I got my permit. My Japanese business partner had to pay 50,000 (race discrimination or do they just think Japanese are rich).
Welcome to Thailand, your choice..... a 50,000 Baht fee or a 50,000 Baht fine.

On the Pattaya police page they issued a three point notice.
1. If you see illegal activity like sex on the beach tell the police immediately while they are still there.
Bad for Pattayas image.... A bit late with that are we not?
I am calling 1178 right now to report all the hookers and ladyboys that infest the entire length of the beach.
Should I also report to police the fact that police receive brown envelopes from bars where illegal prostitution takes place?
As for the two on the beach.... The TAT should petition the hotel association to reduce rates so these two could afford a room.
