Thanks for sharing and I will make the trip to 'One Fine Day' on my next journey to Bangkok. I love all types of Massage and my experience is you get the best Massage Therapy from shops that stick to Massage only; although there can be wonderful exceptions. I usually stay in the lower Sukhumvit area on Soi 8 and my favorite Massage Therapy shop is Ananya Massage. Jenny gave some of the best Thai Massage I had on my last trip,but New and Pam are also very good and strong.

Excellent decision. I went to Bumrungrad during my last trip and received excellent care at a reasonable price and the service was very efficient.

Yes, so right. The whole process took 1.5 hours. Making subsequent appointments becomes easier once you are in the system. I had an issue come up with my left hand after an aggressive Oil Massage. Being a Massage Therapist myself, hand injuries are a big concern. Called the Hospital, spoke with someone within a few minutes to make an appointment for the next day. Went in to see a Hand Specialist, had a Consult with the Doctor, took 3 X-Rays, prescribed some medicine. This appointment took 1 Hour, 15 minutes. Excellent Service again.

This trip my US Doctor recommended I get a Test for my Liver called a Fibro Scan. I went to the Bumrungrad Hospital website at; https://www.bumrungrad.com/ and started the process. Got a quote 7000-8000 THB,made the appointment and was surprised at how easy and reasonable it was.When you go to Bumrungrad the first time,you have to go into Admissions and fill out a few forms and provide a copy of your Passport. This took about 15-20 minutes. Left to another floor to see the Doctor for a Consult, proceeded to another exam room to have the test,administered by the Doctor and the results were printed out promptly. Total Cost; 7,465 THB. I am sure it would have been double or more in the US,as not covered by my Insurance Plan. My Liver is in great shape and now I know for sure.

I am sure there are many of you that have gotten Dental work done in Thailand and have good Dentist to recommend that are less expensive than this one. I just went to Asavanant again and am very satisfied. Multiple Dentist on staff, great state of the art facilities and top quality care. I got a full exam, Panoramic X-Rays and Cleaning for 3300THB. The website is; www.asavanant.com Take the Skytrain to Thong Lor,stay on the Odd Number Soi Side and it's a short walk,you can see the sign when you get to the Big Intersection.

There are many good pharmacies in Chiang Mai. I went to Boots,near the Tapae Gate. Probably more expensive that some, but got excellent advice from a Pharmacist.
