Popular Post brucegoniners Posted March 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2021 If you want to do that you need to start at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. A true international hospital has English speaking people besides the doctors. Try calling this place some time and explain what you need. I wanted help with a sleep disorder and after 6 minutes I hung up and had my wife call. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is where you should have called in the first instance. I know personally that they employ staff to liaise with foreign language speakers. https://www.bangkokpattayahospital.com/en/patient-services/international-services-en.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though since it's BP Hospital, I cannot guarante that they will not find a way to add it to the bill. I have the same thing in the hospital that I use, but they don't charge anything for translation etc Easier to make the appointments through the English speaking department. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaiyen Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 And what does he means by "International Standards" ? There is no such thing. does he mean the standard of England with its over crowded hospitals full of violence and drug addicts or America where you must show insurance before they will even look at you. Or here in Perth Australia where at the moment you can sit in an ambulance outside A&E for up to 7 hours ? Just meaningless dribble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolkarl Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 The main way to raise their medical standards is significantly improve their education system. It is pathetic now. The only doctors worth trusting are ones that have been educated in the west. If the doctor has only Thai education, run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Raise the standards or raise the prices? Most Thai hospitals I've been in were as good if not better than any hospital that I've gone to in the US. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
