I have used Thai hospitals three times in my visits there. Nothing but praise from me. Incredibly , no more expensive than here in Australia , where we are told it is “free”. If I ever need hospitalisation for a condition , think I will fly to Thailand and recuperate at leisure.

The story with the Canadian obsessing about his hockey team was really funny. That whole story was gold and a big reason we listen to your stories here, thanks.

I live in New Zealand and I had the same experience as the Australian in the !st story. I tried to get a dentist appointment here in New Zealand before I flew to Thailand in 2022 as I needed a filling. . I phoned around and got the same old story that they were not taking any new clients on for 6 months. The dentist only works 3 days a week. A two month wait for an appointment an other various excuses. I gave up in the end and thought I would wait until I went to Thailand in a few weeks time. To cut along story short I was in a small town in Isaan and I was walking along the street and saw a dentist sign. I walked in off the street, no appointment and said that I need a filling. The receptionist said certainly sir , take a seat. The receptionist gave me some forms to fill in and after a 10 minute wait I was in the dentist chair. The dentist spoke fluent English and within 1/2 an hour I had my new filling. The dental clinic was spotless and had all the modern equipment of a New Zealand dentist. The grand total came to 800 Thai Baht. The equivalent in New Zealand would have cost me around 7000 Thai Baht. this was 2 years ago and I have not had a problem with my filling and I understand that the dentists train at the University in Chiang Mai.

Maybe do some videos about the history of Thailand? Most of us would have no idea so it would be interesting to learn

People confuse Thailands privare hospitals with health care system, it's not, it's a business. I recently went to a public hospital in Thailand trying to get an ultrasound to check veins in my leg and was told it's a minimum 3 months waiting time. For anyone in Europe they're much better off exploring private health care and dentists in eastern Europe. It's much cheaper than in Thailand.

Peter, I heard again another note about the haters. You are spot on with your message. Love the content and your efforts. The stories are nice to hear and always a good reminder of how things can go!

I have had a very good experience of the Thai private hospital system. excellent high level care better than Australia by far. I loved that philipine story of 25 years ago. It predates my experience by far but I can totally relate to the nervousness of a first time in a bar surrounded by pretty girls . Thanks again Peter I love the old school stories would love to know if any one has one that predates the vietnam war even 1950,s anyone.

I would never use a Thai hospital myself for my Thai wife died in a Thai hospital due to a notch up by Thai doctors, my wife died of a fungal blood infection given to her in a Thai hospital. So talk how much you want about Thai hospitals, I say they’re no good. It took them a month to find out what was wrong with my wife, something that should’ve taken three days.

Great stories. Those medical stories reminded me if my experience back in 2009. Great medical care is all I can say. That sea background scene was so relaxing, more please.

Sure, they have a lot in common with each other story but each one is its own little hidden gem that someone else loved and experienced, whether it was love or lost. Don’t ever stop!

Hello Peter, I love the stories and comments you present. I have a totally different view on experiences now versus 25 years ago. Twenty-five years ago, while in Thailand, I knew nothing about it. However, after listening to your stories, I have a brand new outlook, optimism, and thus, a whole new, informed, experience in Thailand. Things are actually better for me now than back then. We have to live in the now. Now is all that matters. Thanks for the great job, Peter.

Great and important stories this week Pete . Well read Remember to wear a brim hat 🤠 in the sun 🌞 and 😎

The 2 medical related stories, IMHO, are very useful to further demonstrate the quality and value of Thai medical services.

I am being charged by the hospital here in San Bernardino is $1,800 plus $300 for the doctor. It included an X-ray for chest congestion. I have no insurance as we were out of insurance as my private corporate insurance ended in February and my Medicare would start in April. And my wife got sick in March. Every one from the hospitals and the doctors overcharge. Blood suckers.

2nd story well said... "CHEERS

Lot of people travel to india to get all medical treatment done straight away no need to wait for appointments

I'm curious how many nurses in Thailand are actual nurses. You see a lot of Thai nurses on IG that have a habit of showing off bikini pics etc. Same with police officers and teachers. Many of them have sexy or bikini pics on their IG *don't their husbands or bfs get jealous of them posting these?* You'd think jealousy with thai women go both ways. If they get jealous of you out of the blue, wouldn't Thai guys or foreigners get jealous of their sexy IG pics too?

In Australia I would guess their NHS covers everyone … which means many are on Govt assistance and pay nothing into the system and you can only tax those who pay so much … which means their NHS resources must be stretched to cover everyone regardless. Waiting for medical care is inevitable. In Canada I’ve been told IF you’re paying cash you’re seen almost immediately (makes sense … allowing medical staff to supplement their income which is probably insufficient relative to what they do under an NHS system helps attract competent people). So it’s no surprise IF you’re paying cash you’ll receive better care. Additionally it’s ironic many who are paying outrageous taxes to support their NHS in their home countries say they are seen for free under their NHS systems. Soon we’ll have the same NHS in the States and the same wait-forever-for-barely-adequate-care will be the norm here too.

I don't get it, if you are not consent with the place,conditions, circumstances ... Why so many foreigners keep going there? No point of complaining. P.S.:As for the title: yes they do make good friends only if you spend time with right people. Most of the stories regarding people that are not part of society or they are not true reflection of the country.

Depression is a strange and horrible thing. It`s one thing to be depressed about something which is the understandable kind. But the phantom depression that could affect the most untroubled mind for no apparent reason is just awful. I only get it mildly and have learned to soldier on through it. Tried counselling but found it to be utterly useless on all three occasions. (just my experience) Too many pseudo experts and know it all psychologists in the world these days. Sorry if I sound like an old git. I am not that bad. I am a fighter and I keep life simple. That works for me.

Hi Peter I would deeply appreciate it if you would give me the name of the hospital you now go to in Bangkok which is 50% cheaper. I would deeply appreciate it 🙏 Take care

I am off to Thailand next week, including a visit to my dentist. I have had a huge amount of dental work in Thailand (12 crowns, a bridge and fillings) but could not go during covid when I had more major dental problems, 2 wisdom teeth cracked apart were taken out, and a molar needed crowning.. The Australian work was expensive and not up to the standard of my Thai dentist. My teeth are soft and not so strong , I still have a full set thanks mostly to work done in Thailand. I have never had a problem with the Thai work.

I had a urinary tract infection which was misdiadnosed at a Thai hospital. I had a skin infection which yet another Thai hospital misdiagnosed. Finally, a friend of mine visited a third Thai hospital and had his pneumonia misdiagnosed.

But to answer the question: Cooking, massages on demand, cleaning, aerobics, no complaints about serving her man. However, Thai culture has a somewhat loose relationship at best with the truth and honesty. They also are run by their parents to give them money. And Thai women are the easiest on the planet. So it’s up to you if the pros outweigh the cons.
