Chinese Doctor ?

Post by Gus »

Whilst having a massage from a Thai lady in the UK the other day she was telling me how good this Chinese doctor was; whose practice was surprisingly enough in Chinatown Bangkok.
I quite fancy the idea of paying one a visit, but I don't really want to visit the Big Mango next trip.
Is there one in Hua Hin, and more importantly if there is, is he any good?
TIA

There are of course a large number of Thai -Chinese and they form a dissproportionally large segment of the Medical manpower in THai.
I think that you are probably refering to Drs who practise Traditional Chinese Medicine. I am not aware of any in Hua Hin,but as they often practise ina low-key manner I would not necessarily know.

I dont know anything about Chinese medisine,
working inside the Western diagnostic system.
But I guess it must work for somebody since
all China trust this form of treatment ?
I know that some Norwegian Hospitals use
Chinese Acupuncture in their treatments,
and have good results. Is that possible in private
Hospitals in Thailand as well ?
I have Thai friends who use Chinese medication
together with Western medication.

There are two or three Chinese practices in the town where I live, I have been very busy and have not had time yet to pay one a visit, although they will not be as cheap as Thailand.
I know that there is a Chinese medicine hospital near to Hualamphong station in Bangkok, just enquiring about Hua Hin cos i don't really want to spend too much time in Bangkok.
When there I always spend too much money :)

Sorry, this isn't in Hua Hin, and is in The Big Mango, but St.Louis Hospital on Sathorn has a Traditional Chinese Medical Clinic. I know I've read good reviews about it online:
