Hi I suppose the title says it all. I am looking for a clinic in or around the pinklao area. Does anybody know of one? My son has been having pain in his ear and a pharmacist gave us steroid drops, but his ear is now swelling and I want to get him to a specialist of some description

Rule number one !

Never , EVER seek medical advice from a "pharmacist" who in reality was probably a shop girl.

Sick children should always be taken to a Doctor.

The nearest public or private hospital will have an ENT specialist on staff.

Very close to Central Pinklao:

The above doctor is on the faculty of a major medical school and has published in international journals, usually a good sign

A little further away (but not much) :

... but there are some English speaking doctors, especially in the eye clinic.

It has some good doctors, fast and friendly service.
