"German Speaking" (Child) Doctor

Post by **sandi1** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 3:19 am

Only one Day left - and our Travel to Hua Hin begins. We travel with our 20 Month old Girl. Maybe she is a litle bit nervouse - in the moment she has a little bit tummy ache. So we dont expect that is something worst - she has no fever.., ans she ist still happy ...

But, - In the case we need a doctor in hua hin - we dont speak english very well (especially the medical vocabulary) - Does anybody know a good "german speaking" doctor ?.. -

or a (english speaking) child doctor specialist

If so please leave phone number and name here - thanks a lot

I've mentioned this guy before .

Dr. Sumet - opposite Hot Pot restaurant just South of main traffic lights.

He's a pediatrician (Child Doctor)

Don't know if he speaks German though.

Hope this helps.

Sandi,

I think you maybe worrying unnecessarily. Most medications can be bought at a pharmacy so check before you come what you would use in Germany. Also drug names are all in English here as ther are in Germany (well international english anyway). You english is a lot better than most Thai doctors. Also try and bring a good medical dictionary German/English and whatever you can lay your hands on that is relative including obviously bthe best German Thai dictionary you can get. Most medical terms are the same in German and English with maybe a slight different pronounciation.

In the meantime I will speak to a couple of Germans who have been here for years and know better than I.

I am afraid it is a small town and it is very unlikely that you will find a German speaking doctor but ther are many Thai speaking Germans and a few Germa speaking Thais that I know.
