Looking for some really weird restaurants - NOT weird food mind you but theme, decor etc. of restaurant itself.

Not looking for all the known places (Condoms & Cabbages, Flying Chickens, Hajime Robot, Royal Dragon, Iron Fairies, etc) but other strange/different places.

Would appreciate your input

Thanks

Based upon my recent experience at Bangkok Hospital, the Thai government should abandon the medical hub project.

Living in Thailand a number of years, I was under the impression the major hospitals, especially those advertising their services to the international community were world class.  How wrong I was.

Having recently had a run-in with Bangkok Hospital where the urologist was quick to recommend and try to rush me to kidney stone removal surgery without checking prior medical condition (and my cardiac doctor from another hospital advising – after the fact – the surgery could have caused a severe heart episode) to indignant and dishonest  hospital staff and unbelievable billing (charged for a visit by a doctor that I never saw – explained away by hospital administrators as a way of “taking care of..” one of my doctor’s colleagues, to charges for a urine test, EKG and HIV test never given and other erroneous charges.

The hospital was truly more interested in getting at what was in my wallet as opposed to caring for my physical well-being.

A letter (and documentation) to the Hospital CEO and Chairman of the hospital Board produced no results (so far) however it is good to know that Joint Commission International (JCI) Accreditation is investigating their accreditation of Bangkok Hospital.

Maybe the international accrediting agencies will help by reigning in the hospitals but the government has to stop supporting these hospitals as the hub of medical care in the region.

I strongly suggest you use another hospital other than those in the Bangkok Hospital Group - there are better hospitals around that care for you as a patient and don't just want your money.
