I had to go back to Thailand to get the treatment most needed by my good "Dr Kom", graduate of Wat Po massage school. Commonwealth health services pale by comparison with Thai hospitals too. They're all talk when you most need action. I appreciate your report of the quick, efficient, hands-on approach - it fit's with my experience. It's true what you mention about hygiene and secondary ailments found within western hospitals too. Not a place to go if you want to be healthy, these places in the west. Bumrungrad is top-class.
