Blinky Bill Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 A friend once had a little problem so he went to the Smith Clinic on Moonmuang Road just 2 or 3 doors north of Ratchamanka Road. My friend said the Doc there is very good and his problem was cleared up with the medication given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiangMaiFun Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks guys - yes I know about the Loi Kroh clinic but was hoping to find a clinic open sometime that dealt in STDs specificallly. Seems rather odd if there isn't one. I guess Chiang Mai Ram has one inside the actual hospital? there must be specialists somewhere in Thailand's second largest city!

elektrified Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Any licensed physician is capable of diagnosing and treating a common STD. STD's have been around for centuries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks guys - yes I know about the Loi Kroh clinic but was hoping to find a clinic open sometime that dealt in STDs specificallly. Seems rather odd if there isn't one. Why would a clinic limit itself only to STDs? Not exactly brain surgery that would require super special skills.. Loi Kroh clinic as mentioned above does tests for STDs, among many other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiangMaiFun Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well... in the UK they have special clinics - walk-in etc. just thinking there might be one here - and it IS a medical specialism - anyway thanks for your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinky Bill Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 The clinic I mentioned in the earlier post is the Smith VD Clinic. The doctor is a specialist in STD's aka VD. The clinic is open in the evenings. According to my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems rather odd if there isn't one. I do not find this odd! If you combine the Thai concept of saving face and being spotted outside a dedicated STD clinic, methinks they rather jump off a cliff or do something similarly stupid!

Greenside Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 As CMF said, in the UK they have clinics dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of STD's and they were set up to encourage people to seek treatment without recourse to their regular doctor or "open" hospital environment. They are known as "Special Clinics" and all big cities have them usually as a department of a hospital but often in a different and more discreet location sharing a building with some easy-to-make-an-excuse-up-about facility. They have a regular testing regime and require almost no personal information beyond an alias and birthdate from those seeking help which also comforts those who fear being on the wrong end of insurance questionnaires that sometimes ask if you've ever even had a test for something serious like AIDS. This policy has been very successful in reducing the number of people who turned a blind eye to their symptoms and went on to infect others and Thailand could do worse than introduce something similar.

kimincm Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Walking between Dtallard Worarot and Dtallard Muang Mai along the river there is an anonymous Red Cross clinic. Seems OP your TV name says it all. Slow down have a think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinky Bill Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Walking between Dtallard Worarot and Dtallard Muang Mai along the river there is an anonymous Red Crossclinic. Seems OP your TV name says it all. Slow down have a think. I think that you'll find that the place you are referring to is a blood bank or it was many years ago and not a clap clinic, better off going to a VD specialist as there are many new strains from all over the world being introduced to the boys and girls of Chiang Mai every week. And congrats on your phonetics, has to be one of the strangest versions of market I have ever seen.

ChiangMaiFun Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Elekrified - not terribly helpful... he who has not sinned etc. and I just wanted a check up! (responsible right?) Greenside - thanks for response - I think you're right it would be a benefit for the community to have a discreet service... thanks for 'getting' what I was trying to convey Blinky Bill - I'll check it out - thanks to your 'friend' Anyway - thanks to all for contributions - both great and small - stay safe Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinky, I have never been to Red Cross in CMai - sounds like you have not been there for a long time either. They operate a big STD clinic out of their big office in BKK. I know it has been recommended here for immunizations, and I thought they also ran an STD clinic. I need to get my immunizations checked anyway, so maybe I will head over there. If anyone is sexually active with more than one partner (or their only partner is more active), a regular HIV test or VDRL is standard thing to check.Location: I understand the Red Cross clinics are on the right side of the river (as it flows south to BKK), just south below the American Consulate and that traffic roundabout/white chedi.

I understand the red cross clinic is HIV only, for which it is highly reccomended, but won't deal with other STDs. A friend took someone from the world's oldest proffession there to get the world's oldest disease treated and they refferred him elsewhere Apparently the Loy Kroh clinic provided a swift resolution to the problem I believe they have an onsite test lab so can provide a one stop service.

PeaceBlondie Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well, now that I live on the east side, I guess those immunization and HIV clinics are closer than they used to be. And I suspect good olf Sripat Special Services could do VDRL's but I might need a doctor's authorization first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doxy-cycline, not going-cycling I had a friend with a similar problem a few years back. He spent hours on the internet looking up suitable drugs then went out and bought them. None worked and he suffered several weeks of pain and discomfort waiting for them to. Finally he went to the local hospital where treatment consisting of an injection and two tablets started bringing relief with in 24 hours. It certainly changed the silly fellow's attitude towards unprotected sex though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treatment is a cocktail of drugs in the form of daily injections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
