I agree Melanie. There are tradeoffs though. As you age it, insurance is expensive, but better than the risk of not having it.

Whoops "food poisoning". I also went to a hospital in Chiangmai for my back-just an outpatient. If you're here and you need treatment, going back to your home country may make sense, but not always.

I would go with the West too if I had a viable and economic choice as that is what I am familiar with and in my comfort zone. Mind you I have been a guest of hospitals in Udon and Hua Hin for back problems and find poisoning, and both times I had great and affordable treatment.

Like anywhere I suppose. That's why in the west at least we have medical boards that can discipline doctors. I don't know for sure if they have that here, but I suspevt not. Anyone knows?

No. Here. Many, many doctors and dentists here are trained in Australia and the US. If hospitals aren't properly funded you end up with something like the NHS mess on England.
