    And do not indulge too freely in the bacchanalian pleasures Pattaya has to offer.


    Gent, you couldn't be happy in a free brothel.

    This advice is as useful as rubbing your left buttock with a dandelion whilst reciting three Hail Marys during a full moon.

    Good advice this.

    I have all my blood tests done twice a year so I know exactly where I am on a Bi-Annual basis.

    Complete blood tests are on offer here in Thailand at very reasonable cost so there is no good reason to not keep on top of ones health.

    Especially when one likes to have the odd Shandy down the pub.

    Whatever could be wrong with all the Thai doctors and dentists in Pattaya?

    ^Possibly the same things that are wrong with some of the Thai air-con repairmen, lawyers, electricians, painters, tilers, and plumbers in Pattaya?.

    Look, for sure there's plenty of good Thai Doctors and Dentists in Pattaya but unless one comes highly recommended from someone I trust totally, I'll stick to using Western educated medical people who work under Western standards. To be fair, I've had several operations that could have gone horribly wrong at Bumrungrad and the standards were absolutely superb, but I don't want to go to Bangkok every time I need outpatient care...
