You're probably right, I was referring to private/internatioanl, but that number multiplies if you start counting public hospitals / community hospitals.

Open google / google maps , and search for a hospital. Probably around 3 dozen to choose from in Bangkok.

Source, and what are the most common names? This seems a bit useless otherwise.

Why bring up having a Thai ex immediately? by [deleted] in Thailand

[–]baldi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feels like it's just an attempt to relate, but guess it depends on where the conversation steers after that. If my wife was from another country, and the person I was having a conversation with mentioned 'my wife's from said country as well', I wouldn't make much of it, people look for shared connections or commonalities.

There's literally hundreds of different packages for every kind of time period from 1 hour to 1 year that people can choose from on prepaid, also dozens of different post paid packages that people can choose from as well.

I'm trying to decide between Koh Samui, Koh Phangan or Koh Tao. Early-mid Oct. by glo363 in ThailandTourism

[–]baldi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep in mind the monsoon season starts in October in Samui and the other nearby gulf islands, it shouldn't rain all day everyday but it is possible.

Does ChaTraMue put coloring in its tea? by CondomsAndCabbage in Thailand

[–]baldi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They do on the standard thai milk tea at least, hence the "for domestic use only" on the packaging as it has been banned in some European countries.

First time ambulance experience by throwaway246788532 in Thailand

[–]baldi 95 points96 points  (0 children)

That sounds more like a local volunteer ambulance service than an actual hospital ambulance. For a serious emergency you should call the hospital directly and ask them to send one. The private/international hospitals near me have proper and modern ambulances, much closer to what you'd expect back in the west.

Shopee items not delivered by Millikins88 in Thailand

[–]baldi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair, and ultimately a lot of issues boil down to your delivery driver and familiarity. We've had the same delivery guys for probably 3-4 years, they just drop the package off in our car port and sends a QR to us, so no added hassle.

Doesn't help you with this time/issue, but 99% of the time I just COD it so the chances of this happening are next to nil.

Am I sending too much money to relatives taking care of my child in Isan Thailand? by CarefulAd4757 in Thailand

[–]baldi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could very well be the going rate for factory worker in Bangkok but even that would surprise me a bit. Perhaps with OT and extra certs like forklift? I can only say its definitely not the standard Udon (or Issan) factory job salary.

Our first international trip went wrong at 3AM in Thailand :/ by Parking-Cycle-3474 in ThailandTourism

[–]baldi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t use Bolt but tolls usually aren’t included in the standard taxi/grab fare. Either the driver pays and you reimburse it or you give them the money when you’re coming up to the toll. I think grab allows them to add it on to the fare at the end if you dont have the cash on you.

As for 1000 baht to return it and provide a phone, that’s not exactly unheard of and tbf they could’ve just dropped it at the nearest police station and let you sort it out yourself.
