Hi friends,

Can anyone direct me to a hospital that can supply after care for someone

who has had a laryngectomy. i need certain items to fit to my new breathing hole.

The NHS has stopped treating me because i live in Thailand. i

Where in Thailand do you live?

Pattaya

Is Bangkok too far, maybe yes maybe no, I travel 6 hrs to go there, as I think the extra effort justifes the end result

 

If not maybe Chulalongkorn it is I believe the Top cancer hospital here in Thailand

 

Many plusses and govt and sensibly priced, down side quite a lot of bureaucracy and often waiting times can be long

 

I have had cancer at the other end of my body from you

 

Maybe also good to have routine monitoring done by them

 

My colostomy supplies from them come at very  competitive good prices, unlike supplies from many hospitals especially private ones

 

If you want to talk PM me and I will give you my tel no

 

 

Options:

 

- In Pattaya itself, try Pattaya Memorial hospital or Bangkok Pattaya Hospital (BPH). The first will be much less expensive than the second but is still a private hospital so not cheap.

 

- In Sri Racha, the Red Cross Hospital  (Queen Savang Vadhana Memorial Hospital)

will be inexpensive (about 1/3 as much) but will entail long waits on first visit and perhaps more than one visit to get into the right clinic/dept. Once there, repeat trips will be smoother but still take at least a half day. But taking both price and travel costs int account, your best option cost-wise.

 

In Bangkok, there  a government Cancer hospital  http://www.cccthai.org/l-eng/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=1&Itemid=6

Chulalongkhorn certainly will also have what you need but I think waits will be less at Chulabhorn Cancer Hospital.  But since this is a recurrent need try in Pattaya and Sri rancha first.

Thank you for the replies, the medication I need will only 

necessitate 2 trips a year so I could do Bangkok easily.

In that case I think Chulabhorn is best.  http://www.cccthai.org/l-eng/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=1&Itemid=6

 

But at least for the fist visit, plan on staying overnight about 2 nights as it may take the better part of a day and need to arrive early morning.
