Who are the decent doctors in pattaya or do you have to always go to hospital

[poseidon5566]

So I often find myself with stomach problems after a while into my trips and so far have gone to the hospital to get treatment, i cannot be bothered potentially wasting my time trying to save money by seeing the pharmacist, holidays are precious. I am wondering tho Pattaya must have GP'S and such minor ailments i should not need to go the a and e when a good gp will work just as well so who is recommended here? thank you

My last trip I had a bad reaction to a mozzie bite, ankle swelled up like a balloon. Went to a clinic opposite nature view hotel on so bukhau. Doc there gave me a jab and sent me off with 2 bottles if pills and some cream to put on, did the trick almost immediately felt better, swelling went down within 24hours, 1300 baht . My only experience with doctors there, others may know of better.

I have more success with Pharmacists than Doctors/Hospitals for minor ailments.

And its nought to do with saving money.

One anti-histamine tablet would have done the same.

And this is the problem with going to Doctors/Hostpitals, you end up getting a load of medicine that is not needed.

Quite possibly but the cream the pharmacy sold me was doing nothing

If I have a problem that I feel requires a doctor, I'm heading to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital.

They have doctors that specialize in different illnesses and you can get on their website and check out the doctors credentials.

I just feel more comfortable there, not saying the doctors in the clinics  are not knowledgeable in all  illnesses.

Whatever medicine he recommends, he has supplies at his clinic.

Many PA threads on him.

No, anti-histamine creams are not as effective as a tablet.

I am allergic to mosquito bites, which I found out on my first trip here, so been there and done all that.

The first thing I do is go the pharmacist if within two to three days its not getting better or I am getting worse, I always go to the private Pattaya hospital on Soi 4. They have help me on some trips when I have fallen unwell and I can highly recommend them as they deal with you very quickly.
