Best Ent Doctors

[dreamsignals86]

Hi everyone. The girlfriend keeps getting tonsilitis and the GP at Maharaj (we live in Chiang Mai) has suggested going to an ENT and getting her tonsils out. The only doctors I've had experience with were at Chiang Mai Ram when I had tonsillitis a few years back, where they gave me a bad combo of meds that made me develop H. Pylori ulcers and although I stayed at the hospital for 3 days, it wasn't till I contacted a doctor back in the States and took his advice on medication and what not that I began to get better. I flew home to get my tonsils out.

Does anybody have good experience with an ENT in Thailand? We're willing to go to Bangkok if need be. She has good insurance and money isn't an issue to get the best care possible.

I can recommend Dr. Pasakorn at BNH hospital in Bangkok. Able to "think outside the box" and has a good bedside manner. He performed surgery to correct my deviated septum, and also after I dealt with the incompetents at Bangkok Hospital-Pattaya for several weeks with ear infections, he correctly diagnosed and found a solution in one visit. Good English, as well.

You should be able to find a good ENT at Sri Pat.

I just had a Septoplasty, Turbinate reduction and a Ethmoidectomy performed by Dr. Prayuth at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok. I can sum it up by just saying that everything was completed to perfection, Dr Prayuth is one of the best ENT's in Thailand and he certainly lived up to the reputation. Total cost was 220,000 baht which in my case included two nights in the hospital. I figure this is about a third of what it would have cost me in the States.

​It has been roughly three weeks since my surgery and I am 80% recovered and breathing far better than I have in my entire life, if you have chronic sinus infections and difficulty breathing I highly recommend this surgery. I will also note that there is an alternative to some of my surgery by using a balloon to open the sinus cavity, it is effective in a lot of cases but I opted for the procedure with the greatest chance for success. Dr Prayuth also uses the absorbable packing so you don't have any of that pain associated with pulling out the old fashion gauss etc. type packing.
