" Gross medical mistreatment in Hua Hin Thailand
I am a European citizen, and long time resident (hotelier) in Thailand. In December, 2002 I was in an accident driving North towards Cha-Am.. After the accident I lost consciousness, and was apparently taken to San Paolo Hospital in Hua Hin, a choice I have great course to regret.
On arrival my wounds were –as I would find out later- very poorly treated . I suffered several fractures, broken ribs, extensive lacerations both facial and bodily, including a broken leg, a fractured leg and dislocated hip. . . . "

I know that San Paolo has gotten some bad press from farang writers here, but my experiences there have been just great . .so far. You hear of horror stories at every hospital, the bigger they are the more you hear and that includes the US and UK.
I have not come through their emergency room unconscious, but with my gall bladder attack two years ago, it was a close thing. Dr Boriphan did the operation and did a great job. I got First class treatement the entire time I was there. ..and at a price at least a third less than in the US or UK. I came away ( less one gall bladder) very happy.
Now, I knew what I had and I make it a policy to get all the info I can before I talk to any doctor. I also think the quality of doctors there varies a lot. I am having my annual physical there in two weeks same thing a Bumrungrad but only half the price ( 6,500 bht compared to 14,500 bht)
