The ads are an essential fact of life, I am sure, not just to feather certain nests but to keep the show on the road, but broadly speaking I agree.
I read it long before I first posted (that may prevent me being shot down in flames immediately, as a relative 'newbie', but I doubt it).
Yes, in the good ole days people posted mainly to help each other and answer queries, and you could get to an amazing 6 or 7 posts before the flamers came out of the woodwork.
Mods had a broad based tolerance - even a sense of humour (yes!) and helpful posters were not rapped over the knuckles for the occasional playful jibe.
More vitally for the real innocent newbies, attracted by the actual name of the game, the visa advice was sound and regularly updated.
Ah well. Dear old days................!

Well, apart from riding a horse 'n' carriage it was boring, boring, boring.
Well it says something that the horse and carriage was the only non-boring thing for you.
What sort of things did you look for and didn't find that would have interested you?
Answer here: nothing.
Answer to the OP question: no.
Really!

Get to another hospital for a 2nd opinion ASAP. Sripat at CMU would be an excellent choice. Not as fancy as RAM but there are many good docs there. Ask/demand to see a senior Professor of Neurology for a 2nd opinion.
Best of luck.
Best of luck.
This is excellent, grade A advice.
Don`t waste any more time at the Ram, and obtain a proper diagnoses before the situation becomes any worse.
Really, the thread could have ended here...
Absolutely right, but let me add a PS. CM Ram is grossly overpriced on everything they do, especially since they were taken over recently by Bangkok Hospital. (I invite them to defend themselves against this here and now). They will not, of course!
Despite going there some years back after a m/cyc accident with a broken collar bone and 4 broken ribs (the latter being 'invisible' on their x-ray) and sent home in (increasing) agony, I trusted them with my 3 year old sons sudden soaring temperature. Twice. Fool me, huh?
First time there was 2,000b on the bill they couldn't explain, 2nd time, 4,000b. And NO diagnosis!!
The 3rd and last time it happened we took him to Rajavej (opposite Holiday Inn on the river). Excellent, intelligent, treatment and diagnosis and NO hidden charges!
In 17 years in CM I have never heard a single credible complaint about Rajavej.
Your decision(s)!

Hi Rob,
Sounds perfect. Where do I have to go?

Wow! I've spent all my LIFE looking for someone with an unlimited budget. If i give you info here for free, how about we start our lonnnng relationship with dinner at Le Coq d'Or? Jai Bin, of course!
Hillside Condo has a gym but is dark, has tiny lifts which break down all the time, and on the windward side has rain blowing in through the window frames.
And any closer to the University than that and you'll be surrounded by loud student parties on a regular basis.
And the traffic is appalling, so you'd better cycle or jog everywhere. At 98 deg in the shade.
Nope.
Try Changklan, but be sure to have your rowing boat ready for the annual floods.
Sooooo, welcome to condoland, Chiang Mai!

A very sad news cam to me on Sunday...
P'Nu from Blue Sky Bar is gone... RIP

I feel very sad, as it a large part of my life which is gone for ever... life!
guys who could say thanks and good bye are for most of them part of this topic...

The petite, very pleasant middle aged lady with impressive gray hair, yes?
Oh heck. Unfailingly pleasant with a very good memory for names, faces and favourite drinks. An excellent hostess in every way.
She's gone far too soon. RIP.
(I think you meant April 29).
