  1. If you want to go with a public hospital, I can recommend Professor Pholapat at Chula. He was recommended to me by a doctor at BNH. I originally contacted him through the after hours clinic at Chula. I was diagnosed with large b cell at Suan Dok in CM. At Chula, they reexamined it and determined it to be Burkitt Lymphoma. More aggressive and needing more intense therapy than large b cell. I received excellent care at Chula, for about a third the price I would have paid at a private hospital. Still here 17 years later. Feel free to contact me if you would like any additional information.

    Correct me if I am wrong here, but I have been told that when using a CC or debt from another country, if asked " do you want to pay in dollars or baht", always say dollars. You will get Visa/MC transfer rate. If you say baht, you will get the bank they are using's transfer rate which is usually a lot less.

    Actually, the opposite. I pay far less in dollars by choosing to pay in baht.

    Doesn't the CC charge the vendor, this raising their overheard, which costs are passed onto the customers, all customers, even us cash only folks.   Thanks 

    Thank you for helping my accumulation of points.

    A topic which increasingly affects we males.

    Found that alcohol, spices, sugar ( and heavy sugar laden products ) can easily initiate a bout.

     

    There is a line of thinking that it can be a result of pudendal nerve entrapment ( think pelvic cavity ) - mostly troubles females particularly after child berth but guys can have the issue also.

     

    Endless antibiotics are not the answer unless specifically indicated.  

     

    Would think that high blood sugar levels might exacerbate it as well.

    There weren't many alternatives I'm sorry to say. A resident permit was one of the other options. You could try getting hold of one of those? Don't ask me how as I have never held one, but maybe something you could enquire about at immigration the next time you visit?

     

    Are you saying a Thai DL will work (I have one of those)? Above, it sounds like they want one from your home country. I also have the Thai pink ID card.
