I thought selling fake watches in TH was illegal? so why are those <deleted> allowed to keep on selling em and why are the police not doing shit about it? ohh we all know why, TIT...

Just another day in Pattaya

Another try at keeping the bubble going... good luck with that

Just as I thought... &lt;deleted&gt; deserved every single punch and kick...

Why would they agree to pay any money to the scum is beyond me, they should have used it to pay someone else to finish what they started and send the rest of &lt;deleted&gt; 6ft under...

So I wonder if the next tourist beaten up by bunch of scum will also get 150'000 baht compensation? 

Hope the same happens in Pattaya, that will send the apartment prices of those tiny overpriced shit holes where they should be... way down.

Phuket is an overpriced dirty shit hole anyways, who in their right mind would want to stay there?

Wonder if anyone found a place that does Methylmalonic Acid Test (MMA) in Bangkok? I am getting some tests done at Bria Lab, but they do not do that one there

Thanks!

I've been trying to get my hands on B12 but so far the largest one I've been able to find is 10mcg which is far away from what I need Has anyone been able to come across place that sells 500mcg or higher?

Thanks!

Curious which place you'd recommend for water/beach? Most places I have been to in TH are overrated, the water is polluted/beaches nothing special or the accommodations are just way overpriced...

Sounds like a lovely way to spend money and over 10 hours to arrive at an overrated place. Cambodia is not much for beaches. Reminds me of phu quoc. Another ordinary joint.

The reason why I wanted to go there was cause of the beach/water being fairly nice. But after further talking we decided to scrap that idea... Will just take the new VIP bus to Hua Hin, which is how I got to Pattaya, it has 3 seats across and is very comfortable

Thanks for all suggestions

Blood results were fine, one thing they did not test and the doctor today suggested it could be is vitamin b12 deficiency... She didn't ask me to do another test, just prescribed B1+B6+B12 to take 3 times a day for 7 days and told me that if this doesn't work that I should see neurologist... Now after doing some bit more of reading, the symptoms I have do fit with it, just not sure if 7 days will be sufficient... Another thing I've read is that blood test could be performed to see if that is the case, so I think that if things are not improved after this I'll just try to get blood test done to see if it is B12 or not... Cause if it is, then I think that the B injections would work quicker. And if the test does not show deficiency then I'll be left with neurologist and MRI by which time I think I'll be back in VN where the test is much much cheaper...

Or just in case if there are no good bus options, are there any comfortable minivans and what would the going rate be?

Hi Everyone,

Wonder if there have been any updates on getting to Sihanoukville from Pattaya. I am traveling with my parents so would prefer to stay away from minivans and make the trip as comfortable for them as possible. Are there any direct comfortable buses (with on board toilet) and what are the costs or is there reasonable priced taxi service?

Thanks!

So I ended up visiting Pattaya City Hospital in Soi Bukhao, got there late and spent few min with doctor going over my condition, he does not think it's related to brain based on the symptoms I described and the physical evaluation he performed. Requested that we do few blood tests and stool test (which I asked for due to my abdominal issue) and asked that I have the blood work done first thing in the morning. I told him that I didn't eat anything since last night but he still said that it is best to do the test in the morning so we'll see how that goes tomorrow. I must say I was fairly impressed with the place, doctor and nurses I was interacting with spoke decent English and were very helpful.

My memory sucks for a long time, but no patches on skin and I sleep like a baby

Any short time memory loss?

Itchiness? Red unexplained patches on the skin?

Problems sleeping?

Thanks Sheryl,

The first time I felt it was while I was walking, I felt as if I was being pulled to one side. When I sit a bit forward, it feels like I might fall forward, but for sure nothing spinning - unless the spinning is very small and hard for me to notice.

A meningioma would cause vertigo, not light-headness. Again, very important to be clear which is the problem. Vertigo feels like you are spinning around or on a very rocky boat. (Causes are usually not as serious as mengioma, though that is one possible cause - neuro exam wiould help determine if MRI is indicated.)

In light-headedness without vertigo, you do not feel like anything is moving per se, you just feel like you are about to faint.

Hi,

Correct, no sensation of things spinning, more like an off balance feeling/weakness which seems to come more often and last longer time, especially more visible in the evenings.

Just to confirm -- when you say dizziness but no vertigo, you mean you feel light headed but do not have any sensation of things spinning around, is that correct?

It is a very important distinction because if your problem is vertigo (which is what the previous doctor's treatment was for) then you need to see an ENT specializing in vertigo, which would require either Bangkok Pattaya Hospital (Dr.Apinan Na Nakorn)

or a trip to Bangkok.

Whereas if it is lightheadedness only, then it becomes a matter of excluding various causes such as anemia, abnormally high/low blood pressure and abnormalities of heart rhythm. etc for which an internist is appropriate. In which case Pattaya Memorial is fine. You'll need to use your own judgement as to whether or not the doctor is sufficiently thorough. If blood count, blood pressure and EKG are normal, and especially if the lightheadedness is only intermittent then a 24 hour heart rhythm monitoring may be advisable. Meanwhile you can help the investigation by checking your pulse while you are feeling lightheaded - especially noting whether or not the rhythm seems regular or if it feels like there are any skipped beats.

After a bit more of research I think I've narrowed it down to Pattaya City Hospital or Pattaya Memorial Hospital, any thoughts?

It has been 2nd week now that I've been feeling dizzy (no vertigo.) I saw a doctor last week in Hua Hin who proscribed something for middle ear (just a guess on her side) but till today my situation has not improved and if anything has just gotten worse.

I am thinking of going to one of the hospitals and doing a more detailed blood test with possible other tests. My insurance only covers emergencies and cases where I require hospitalization so looks like this one will be coming out of my pockets. Any suggestions as to which of the hospitals in Pattaya has reasonable fees for doctor and blood/etc tests?

I should mention I've been having some issues with my abdomen, which could be IBS but so far has not been confirmed... Not sure if the two are related as the dizziness is just recent.

Thanks!

Should have handled it differently, 24 mil is a lot of money, accidents happen and he could have made a lot of people disappear to make sure this case goes no where...

LOL, I think they are clueless... Couple of good hackers could cause insane caos in the entire country never mind their outdated websites

This whole case is a joke, the phone is just thrown in to confuse people, what happend to the DNA evdiance that was to be solid? NOTHING, there was no solid evidance, the case from start to now has been handled by wanna be investigators and police officers who have no clue of what areal investigation looks like and are probably paid very well to make sure the REAL criminal never gets on stand... Welcome to Thailand where money can buy you ANYTHING you want.

The rich can use their money to play the game, however the rich also bleed and regardless of how much money they have a bullet can still find em. Further, dead men can't go to court to testify.
