I have to say Im very impressed with the government hospital here in Phuket, I went to see the doctor yesterday evening I recieved a call the day before so I already knew my number in the que (8) It wasn't so busy yesterday, that's the only problem it gets mobbed, I'm told it's the biggest hospital in the south of Thailand, so they come from all over to here.
I always have my wife with me, and the charges are reasonable, Yesterday I came away with 3 months medication, the cost is Thai price, we do have a couple of friends who are pharmacist and they said they are good drugs for a good price, Not like them International hospitals 10x the price, obscene prices,
My wife insist I have a cup of Encore everyday ok that's fine, but believe it or not the cheapest place on the island we have found to buy it, is the hospital the government one, how good is that?
Another big ripoff at the hospitals is blood test, Im not saying any names which place is 3500 baht, we found a clinic just a normal blood test was only 250 baht, the one I needed for yesterday was to check cholesterol was 550 baht, just pickup the result and take it to the hospital with you,
I would recommend Vachira hospital in Phuket to anyone,
