Re: Hua Hin Hospital Express Clinic has moved

I have to add I'm getting some refund from Norway from my medicines, but only if I have a medical sertificate. I got that from the hospital, but a pharmacy don't do that so in that case I have to pay everything myself. :(

Re: Hua Hin Hospital Express Clinic has moved

My wife and me showed up at the express clinic 8'o'clock yesterday morning and the young lady by the counter asked me how I felt today. My answer was that I was feeling OK, and that was clearly a mistake! What I was going to say was that I was feeling OK because I'm on medication and my medicines is...

Re: Hua Hin Hospital Express Clinic has moved

I visited the express clinic to day at 12'o'clock for getting some medicine for my heart. I have got the medicine from my home country and now it's nearly finished. The young lady at the desk asked me if I had been eaten this morning and then turned me away and said no service after 12. I had to com...

The shop in Soi 6 has been closed for some time now.
If you go down Soi 6 to Petkasem Road, turn left and Invade-IT is there next to The Baguette.

Re: Racing Market

My wife and me went to the new Racing Marked yesterday, and we were absolutely satisfied with both the food and the music! We managed to speak normally to each other and the music was very good.... a mix of Thai and international songs. Still a lot of places to be rented out, but I think in short ti...

Re: New waste water bill, is it a scam?

I live in Chomsin Rd. near by the Chinese graveyard and so far have not got this bill. We don't have any septic tank as well, but my address is maybe not in the "greater Hua Hin area".

Myself, as well as others on here, thoroughly recommend Dr. Pairat. Top Charoen are in the business of selling specs whereas Dr. Pairat is in the business true diagnosis. I had cataract replacement surgery some years ago now and have never needed glasses to this day. Even Bangkok Hospital sends him...

Re: Buying glasses in Hua Hin

My wife had her eyes tested at Top Charoen, a few years ago though, and was not happy wih her new glasses. She visited Dr. Pairat Eye Clinic for a new test, got her glasses there, and has been very happy with them.
Dr. Pairat also do surgery for cataract (spelling)!

Re: Smoking ex-pats

I stopped smoking four years ago after been diagnosed with COPD, and I miss it most every day. When people around me are smoking I'm sitting sniffing and missing the good times I've had with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. The beer is still there nowadays though!

Re: How not to get sick on holiday in Thailand

:dance: I have been sick of food poisoning two times in my time in Thailand since 1991. Both times as a tourist. First time on a buffet in Shangri La hotel in Bangkok. I was there with the tour company and ate chusie. Number two was in Hua Hin on a T-bone steak that's probably been in the fridge way...

Re: Which Mobile Phone?

As far as I know Honor phones are not sold over the counter in Thailand. I bought one Honor 8 for my Thai daughter last year from Ali Express. It's been imported from China and Google is installed in forehand. My daughter is absolutely satisfied with it, especially the cameras (it's three of them) S...
