That's strange but TIT

I have been to the Queen Sirikit Heart Center in Khon Kaen several times for a heart check. No heart doctor referral required.

I initially went to their emergency room, because I was experiencing severe dizziness.   They did a EKG and determined that I was suffering from Premature ventricular contractions  (PVC ) medication was prescribed that brought the condition under control, and a Follow-up appointment  was  was scheduled, at the follow-up I reported that I had no incidents, and we reduced the medication to half and was told if I had  any more incidents to go back to full strength but if I did not, the next time we meet we will try to further reduce the medication to every other day and see how that works. 

Overall I would rate the care I got there as excellent, and very  inexpensive, 

But as I said TIT  this could only be true where I am.

Perhapse you might want to go to a hospital that primarily specializes in heart issues.

 

Ok, but you had a problem.. I don't have yet any, but in my family p, butlenty deadly heart attacks .. even after check up, as the doctor said you can't prevent it. I only wanted to know if my heart is still in a good condition by a stresstest or so... I don't want to go into the mill of many examinations etc and with a end result of nothing

Could you just not see a doctor and say " I think I have a heart problem" ?

According to the hospital I must have a heart attack...so pain in my chest, sweating, dizzy and/or radiation in my arm... Never mind they want to do it...as you can't prevent it anyway to get a heart problem 

I never will understand why they have to to carry a Thai flag, just like kids

No clue to solve the problem and to be attractive again for foreign tourists. So local tourist more public holidays more borrowing and loan  to show how wealthy the middle class is to go on holiday and more debts.. TAT why are they needed? they have no clue come with fake numbers and ideas that are stupid. And they call it a masterplan..

Seems pretty reasonable that they want to make sure it's your passport, whether by matching fingerprints or facial recognition, obviously every time...

So no need for automatic channels than :)

Camping?? What is that? do you have a permit for it?? O no? than a fine, because you are a foreigner

My passport has biometric chip for some years already. However I went several times out Thailand and came back, and everytime they need my fingerprints and photo.. Should i believe that these machine are working? Even with renewal your visa they need new pictures at the office every year and of course a paper pic,,  

Freeze the giant salaries of the company bosses.... until they are willing to pay a bit more for the ones who work and in facto give them their great salaries and profits

the 3rd in a week time... Thailand can use it as soft power maybe?? Come and enjoy a possible  accident if you travel by bus or in cars??

Everything must be celebrated... a lot of wasted money, in other countries, they just are happy and announce it and finished, but here in " happy" THailand there is a ceremony needed

They never stopped wearing masks... so no need to urge them wear them again

Do something about the dangerous traffic so that less young people die.. They could have babies, but passed away and a result is that the average age is going up.... 

Not allowed to make fun about this high class  hard working system  and its officers

And than wondering why tourists don't come to Thailand .....

Thailand has to keep the lower income workers to maintain international companies producing goods in Thailand.

Only the upper level of civil servants, bosses, and elites can afford large families.

Trouble is the lower end make up the majority of the population...

What a conundrum for the government to sort-out.

Increase wages to increase childbirth... loose manufacturing.

I suppose they could specify girls only, then in 18 years time they will all be working in resorts helping out TAT with tourist numbers thus increasing the GDP.

I still believe that daily salaries are not working and there should be paid monthly. As for daily salaries with so many holidays the people don't earn a dime except army and government officials.. 

Searching on the internet seems that Thailand a minimum wage has of 12k a month, but I know we we can read that teachers often only get 7000 THB a month paid. and if you search more it seems that 50% is earning 88k average...So there should be possibilities to raise the lower salaries.

in america  schools are from 8am-2pm . so do you mean it makes the kids much better?

I don't know for America, but kids going to school at 6 am because they have to go by the schoolbus to school and being at home at 6 pm also because of the schoolbus .. Other kids whoi special classes after the normal lessons and are finished too at 6 pm.. I think it is too much. Yes at 2 pm the kids in America will go home and will have time to relax and play, as here in Thailand probably in most days the kids have to do homework too. When will the brain of a kid relax?
