Traditional Thai Medicine Hospital beside Hua Chiew (TCM)

[hermespan]

Anyone here tried this one?

Is it under Royal patronage?

Prices have got to be cheaper than the Trad Chinese hospital next door. I stopped going there for reasons of price.

The location suggests they attracting the same customers.

Is trad Thai medicine like trad Cambodian medicine, which is the 'poor cousin' (more folk and home remedy tradition) than TCM?

I do practice Thai Traditional Medicine even though I am a pharmacist.

Depending on the physician, it may involve folk believe etc. Newer Thai Traditional practitioners tend to use Science knowledge, based on scientific research, thesis, papers, etc.

However, personal experience taught me that the original, old-styled Thai traditional practitioners are more effective even though sometime they mix folk believe and religious in their treatment.

I dont know about Cambodian medicine, but considering both shared similar history, I'm guessing both are similar.

PS: I hope you refer to Cambodian medicine (herbal) practitioner and not the "black magic practitioner." I am strictly talking about Thai and Cambodian herbal practitioner, either TTMed Doctor or TTMed Pharmacist.
