Chiropractors in Bangkok

By admin at 5:23 am on Tuesday, December 19, 2006

I am one of those who constantly suffers from neck pains, back aches, migraines etc. My husband often tells me that my body should be donated to medical science. HAHA! but it’s because I have so many problems, that I know many doctors which comes in handy for people my age ;)

If you have been searching, you’d notice that there are not many Chiropractors in Bangkok. Well, lucky for you I know of 2 and both come highly recommended by many.
Most foreigners go to Dr. Don, an American-Japanese doctor who is fluent in both languages, as well as Thai. He charges between 800 - 1000 bht per session and is located on Sukhumvit Soi 23. You can contact his office for a map at 022580350. I have been going to him for almost 3 years now. However, I recently discovered a Thai-Chinese Chiroprator who is amazing and a little closer to my home. As you can guess, most of his clients are Thai and he speaks Mandarin too, but seriously, when it comes to aches and pains, hand gestures are sufficient. When I first went to him, he cracked so many parts in me I never thought were crackable, it was great! LOL. I felt brand new after that and have been going to Dr. Somchai since.
Dr. Somchai is located on house no. 100, Sukhumvit Soi 36. Clinic tel: 022615898. He does not take appointments in advance but what you can do is call when you are on the way and request for a queue no. You will get the queue no. when you arrive and pray that you’re not too far behind. He charges between 600 - 700 bht per session.
Both Dr. Don and Dr. Somchai are very packed and appointments are highly recommended. Get ready to be relieved of your pain! I need another session soon….

Furnished 2 bed Apt. on Sathorn 30,000/mth

By admin at 11:28 pm on Wednesday, December 13, 2006

Walking distance to the BTS station Surasak, on Sathorn road near Bangkok Christian College, directly opposite St. Louis hospital is this very green and quiet low-rise apartment block I first lived in when I moved to Bangkok 5 years ago. They have a lovely Thai restaurant at the front and you can order food to your apt. just like in a hotel, and also a pool and very lush, green surroundings. That’s why I loved it then and still do. They currently have a 100 sqm 2 bed unit at 30,000 bht/mth and a 120 sqm 3 bed unit at 36,000/mth. This soi is actually right between Silom and Sathorn so when there is a jam on one side, you can take the other route home! Great location.
Unfortunately, they don’t allow any pictures but if you like privacy, green surroundings and quaint old apartments,  you’ll love this place. It is well-maintained and full of charm. Email me and I’ll take you there.
