As most of us know, a fancy hospital or spanking new clinic does not mean the first doctor or specialist you meet will be an authority of what you are looking for. I will ask the Thai visa Pattaya members if they have any experience in recommending a dermatalogist for treating older skin (not zits on a teenager). I was one of those blond hair- blue eye fair skin farangs that would be in the sun 24-7 when young and then the past 20 years I have lived in the Middle East and tropics that has sunny days. So now I have flaky skin on my forehead which I thought would disappear but it has not. (I no longer expose myself to the sun so it is not from sunburn.) It is not skin cancer according to the research I have done. I need to go to a local dermatologist that can seriously diagnose what is the best treatment for fair skin people, not Asian skin or what he read in his medical text book.

I have used the dermatologist at Pattaya Memorial, You need to call in to make an appointment as she is not there every day.

Bangko Pattaya has a dermatology clinic at the back. Took my partner there for a fungoid skin condition, took 3 visits but her problem eventually cleared up. It's not cheap though, averaged out around 3000 baht a visit, including medication.

One of the best in Pattaya is Dr Anna Jaruwarn at Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital.

I have used Dr Warapon at the Pattaya international Hospital Soi 4 Beach Road for many years in the treatment of my active keratosis and other skin related conditions, she is a professional Dermatologist with a huge amount of experience. I have found PIH Dermatology dept. much cheaper than B.H.

One of the best in Pattaya is Dr Anna Jaruwarn at Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital.

Dr. Anna is first class w/ decades of experience.

My farang friends visit Dr Anna regularly for their skin cancer treatment and followups.

Spaniel ---& others are correct------Dr Anna, she practised at Stanford for years, to give you an idea of how she is streets ahead of anyone else in that town.(Pattaya)

Pattaya hospital isn't a place I would usually recommend ---however I would have no hesitation recommending her, I was told by another doctor that she would still be at Stanford, but her husband. (an urologist) could not find a suitable position in America.

& of course her English is perfect---

+ 1 for Dr. Anna / BPH

Thanks for all of you that took time out to make recommendations. It is more of a secure feeling to go to someone that has a good report and reputation than with a doctor that lacks people skills or up-to-date professional knowledge beyond a medical school text book.

I can recommend Dr Somnuek, Central Pattaya road next to the TOT building

038425288

Qualified in Seattle USA, over 20 years experance

hope that helps

Just been to Dr Somnuek next to TOT in Pattaya Glaang. 3000 B for two minor facial treatments with anaesthetic and laser and some cream to take away. Walked in and seen immediately. No complaints.

I suffered from something similar and went to the Dermatologist at Pattaya International Hospital, she was brilliant. Her name is DR. WARAPORN KLANWARIN.

She also does some work out of The Sattahoip navy Hospital

I am looking also for an Dermatologist as i have an suspicionof Skin Canver but i want stay away from Bangkok Pattaya Hospital as my Insurance pay every Hospital in or Around Pattaya but refuse BPH because their of excessive Costs compare to other Hospitals.

As i learned the Doctors work sometimes in two or more Different Hospitals, someon know that this highly recommend Dr. Anna work somewhere else too?

I found some good Tips here already, may i try the Pattaya International first , or someone has an Visit lately somewhere?

tangerinehouse----what you may have--Its not a small thing, I would pay yourself & go and see Dr Anna.....if its confirmed then maybe you need to take your treatment elsewhere. But get you diagnoses and options , and there may be many different ones, explained to you first from the best.

Thank you OXO 1947, may i will do so. And visit there for diagnosis. I heard from someone that they charged Foreigners double the Price from Thais, you know something about that..?

No...I have had Thai friends who have had treatment there----they are just an expensive hospital---& your right it drives up the insurance rates, & also in a lot of cases there are doctors around every bit as good as you will get there. Dr Anna is probably an exception to that in this field.

+1 for the recommendation to see Dr.Anna, regardless the price. She specializes in skin cancers and according to recommendations in the Health & Medicine forum section is the best in Thailand. She lived in and had a clinic in the USA, and her English is excellent.

I had a small cancerous spot removed from my forearm and was 100% satisfied with her service.

I don't know what Dr. Anna charges Thais' but I had an appointment with her on Tuesday, 26 July, for a skin cancer check up and was charged B 1,500.
