Pattaya28 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I have a real bad persistant cough. Won't go away. Apart from going to Bangkok / Pattaya Hospital, which will financially milk me every which way they can, any recommendations ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 That could be so many things. I would suggest going to Pattaya Memorial Hospital first and check it out. That will be much more affordable than PIH or BPH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya28 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Any other options for an independent Doctor ? Is this Swiss Doctor cheaper than Bangkok / Pattaya Hospital ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 The new hospital/clinic in Soi Buakow should be OK for that sort of thing. Certainly worth a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiBob Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Any other options for an independent Doctor ? Is this Swiss Doctor cheaper than Bangkok / Pattaya Hospital ? No. 700baht for a consultation I recall, same as BHP. The advantage of course, you will be able to to explain things and get answers with fewer language barriers. You can to do a little self evaluation; your age, are you a smoker, last time you had a chest xray, is the discomfort head and throat or deep chest, etc. Dr. Oliver understands how living in a tropical climate affects a westerner, what to look for, and that in itself is worth a visit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 There was something going around a few months ago. Many people I know had it. A cough that lasted for weeks. I've had some doctor visits at PIH and the price was OK. Docs spoke very good English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 For years I've been using Dr. Sawdeepong on Second Road by Walking Street, more or less opposite the Camelot Hotel. Speaks good English and knows his stuff. Not the cheapest clinic around but in my experience he's the best outside of a hospital. Well, I'm still rooting after 10 years here anyway.
