Living In Thailand
After my visit to the Heart Dept BKK Hospital you all should know this.
This isn't clickbait, it is something that everyone should be aware of.

Please take a look at the video "The Widow Maker". It is something that is essential for everyone, male or female.
This could honestly save your life, wherever you are in the world.
That's good you're getting that done and a good gift from your friend. I just had it done in January, and results were good, just have to keep a watch on it. So you and Pook enjoy your day.
Thank you Carletto.
Pleased to hear that you had a good result.
A very thoughtful gift. I glad you got a good diagnosis. 🙏
Thanks Bill,
David is very thoughtful and a good friend.
“A healthy outside starts from the inside.” - Robert Urich 😍
Exactly 😘
Gotta love the Good Days Cafe…thanks to you & Pooky ❤ Glad to see you posting on TH-cam again Kevin & glad to see that all went well at the hospital 😊 You two look great as always & cannot wait for your next video:)
Thank you Marietta.
All the best 🙂
Thank you for showing us about parking in the hospital.
Your more than welcome... and I hope that you never need to experience it.
Thank you for showing all this. Very informative videos you and your wife makes. We, my wife and I bought a house in Udon Thani last year so I’m very happy to follow you and your wife.
That is awesome, pleased that you are enjoying our channel.
An easy way to remember where you parked is to take a photo of your vehicle together with the parking lot signs at the pillars .
Not the case here. You need a computer science degree to work the system that takes your car and parks it for you Simon.
I would take little comfort in those results my friend. I had a similar test result which my doctor suggested be followed up with an angiogram, which revealed a 75% blockage. If you have any significant blockage an angiogram is the only way to determine the full extent of the issue and give you absolute peace of mind.
Have you seen the evidence in The Widow Maker video.
Why wouldn't I start with this scan?
Happy to see a great result mate 🇦🇺🙏
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the crucial health info. Great results for you 👍
Those automated stacking car parks save so much space for more usable parking space. It is literally like shelf stacking. They have one in Pattaya City, and I know of one in Bangkok.
I was blown away, never seen one before
I'm one of those people that remembers "CAT WEASLE"...
They showed it in Australia in the 70's...
I've also had a heart attack in 2015...
Live your life the best you can , you never know when your number is up...
😊
Hope that you are well now... and still enjoying Catweasel. Available on TH-cam 😄
@@TheIsaanFarang Thanks Very Much , have a great day...
Stay healthy...👍🏻👍🏻
Great stuff, very useful present 😃
I think so too Dave 👍
I heard about that too. I am 59 and already two heart attacks and quad bypass. That's it for, ready to meet my maker which will probably soon
Never give up, continue to research and don't always believe the doctors
I've also had a quadruple bypass at 59 to. I'm 73 and still kicking. FYI the Dr took the replacement arteries from my arms as opposed to legs. I've researched it and apparently it's the gold standard? Studies show that arm arteries perform better. The surgery was done at BPH Pattaya. The surgeon was a younger man and had studied in the USA Apparently. Good luck.
What an amazing gift Dave & his wife gave you Kev, such thoughtful kind people. Certainly something worth considering thanks for bringing it to our attention. Pleased your in top tip condition. My gosh I am with you on the car parking 😂 I would have been there hours trying to work it out!
Dave and Oat are exceptional friends. Lucky to know them.
Also lucky to have had Pook with me otherwise I think the car would have gone missing forever 😄
Will do , never even heard about this problem to be honest . Thanks 👍
Any time Carl.
Hi thank u for the great video. Just wanted as what is the name of this scan if I go to Bkk hospital to inquire about it? I have coronary problems so u just gave me the incentive and a reminder to get it done.
It's called a coronary calcium score.
Good for you in getting it done and good luck.
A non zero calcium score is a good reason to take the next step and get a stress echocardiogram and a consult with a cardiologist to discuss the result and whether statin therapy would be of benefit.
We'll cover the stress test in a future video coming up soon.
I had a cholesterol check done 2 years ago and it was sky so I phoned BUPA and I was in the following day for a heart CT Scan I was diagnosed with artheroschlerosis (heart disease) they wanted to do a angiogram which they did. When they did they found it was much worse than expected! I had 3 blockages each one around 90%!!!! They put the heart stents in there and then! The cardiologist said to me it was a miracle that I was alive😄 the point is I never suffered any symptoms I’m quite active with work but I was heading towards a potential life ending cardiac arrest! People in their late 40’s and 50’s really do need to get their heart and arteries PROPERLY checked out
Absolutely right Mattie.
It is essential that we all get in touch with what is happening with our bodies.
Hope that things have improved for you 🙏
I had an almost identical situation - your advice is 100% correct.
Hi Mattie, did your doc refer you for a heart scan? I'm with Bupa, had raised cholesterol all my life. Interested to find out what mine is like.
@@ade7163 Hi Ade. No what I left out of that text was, I have a lot of history of heart disease on my dads side of the family! So when I got the results of my cholesterol which were very high! I was very keen to get it investigated so I told a white lie to BUPA and said I was having chest pains! Otherwise they wouldn’t have seen me.
Thank you Kevin and Pook for the video
Pook, are you going to get the CT scan also?
Hi Lee,
Pook will be getting the scan done. Be interesting to see if the Thai diet has any effect on the results. Worries me that so much MSG is used here.
Sal may, dal may, ado nay....shempanferack! That's one of my favourite programmes Kev, so much so that I brought a DVD of the series to Thailand with me when we retired here.
Even my good lady enjoys it, and she's Thai.
Glad you're still alive and kicking, it always pays to get yourself checked over as you get older, I call it a full MoT.
😄😂🤣
The spell was always followed by;
"Nothing works touchwood"
Such a wonderful program. Pure innocence but truly great.
Hope you had avery BLESSED HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂
Thank you 🙂
Maybe this helps?
At 70 I have seen most will not change lifestyle and rely on hospitals and magic pharmaceutical pills. My parents died young suffering from diabetes and I didn't want to so rather simple and learned diabetes 2 is self inflicted through diet choices and made an executive decision to change. So off I go learning all about things like when and what to eat, VLDL buying and giving books to help people ... nobody changed, so further learned most prefer to die over something as adjusting diet.
Not being negative as I respect people's choices, just pointing out. I hope to be somewhat balanced however got to the point if it is easy to do such things as not eat that brownie, not eat that sour bread, ask how the eggs were fried or just eat softboiled duck eggs then when I socialize I can take that moment and enjoy people and eat what's served.
Anyways, seems to work, just had complete check up, stress test, gamma photography of chest, and doctor cannot find anything wrong with me.
So why not, I am financially good, slim toned body, blessed with hair ... I am moving to Thailand and if Buddha smiles on me find a good hearted fellow Buddhist thai life partner ❤🙏
Love hearing from those who have taken matters into their own hands.
Well done and we wish you well with your move to Thailand.
Good morning Kev, Great video, I acted straight away this morning I enquired at Bangkok hostpital Trat....and guess what ! You get a free shafting with the Coronary calcium CT scan all for the cheap price of 30,000 baht ! 😂 It might be an interesting excercise if you make a general enquiry back at your Bangkok hostpital to see if the cost has changed, or if this was a promotion price. 👍
Refer them to the video and ask why. Must be a mistake.
@@TheIsaanFarang I called BKK Pattaya this afternoon, they only wanted the 2,900 baht, but this does not include the Physicians fee or the hostpital fee. They say each BKK have there own costings and promotions, just letting you know. Cheers
Hi Kev, out of curiosity I recall you have Health insurance, but as Pook is a Thai does she also need it?
As a Thai national, she can go to any government hospital and pay just 20 baht which will cover her treatment, however, the waiting time can be a little long, although nowhere near as bad as in the UK.
Anything that Pook has needed, we just pay for private at the BKK hospital.
Great video always keep a track on your health very important Thailand has some great hospitals for checkups i have had some done myself and not to expensive, as for the parking that would drive me nuts, never mind it's the Thai way, all the best mate.
Thank you.
I'm tempted to go back, pretending that I have an appointment, just to see if I can master the car park labyrinth 😄
@@TheIsaanFarang 😂
That car parking is wild and the wife's still looking amazing
It is and she is Jay 😄
congrats on the low score but did you get your car back. I think that you could do a full programme on the car park, I really couldn't understand how it worked. Cheers from Pimlico in 23 degree C
No need to pay for the hospital stress test as the car park experience will do it for you.
Pleased to hear that Pimlico has thawed out 😄
Interesting video Kev. Did you have to wait long for an appointment or was it quickly available?
You could walk in off of the street and get it done immediately as long as the heart doctor was on duty.
My wife had the same but in Marsa Alam, Egypt, so be lucky there and don't complain please.
Complain about what?
I got V lucky. Had a silent heart attack, wasnt even aware, apparently due to irregular heart beat, which is not uncommon. Blood thinners and a few other meds, and angiogram all clear, no stents. Thankfully Im right as rain 3 years on....
Good to hear that you caught it in time.
Have you looked at the alternatives to the pharma blood thinners?
Im looking at a more holistic approach, thanks @@TheIsaanFarang
Life ain't that simple it doesn't tell you if you're getting hit by a bus in the morning.
Strange comment, but lets do something we can do something about, and not live in fear of things we can't Matthew.
@@TheIsaanFarang No fear of anything, just live it
No mate , young ultra fit athletes are keeling over because of a certain medical intervention they were more or less forced to take a few years ago . Just take a look at the statistics pre and post 2021
spot on and several youtubers etc
When young the neighbour celebrated getting his transcontinental pilots liscence that requires rigorous health tests. He dropped dead that weekend with no explanation. I think important not to skew our views about death ... a personal example, I was terrified of the covid emergency needles they somehow got to call a vaccine, I had first wave serious covid and like all my fellow 29 or so construction workers in fit shape that had covid recovered in a few days. Never understood the fear of covid and rush for needles although I always respect another's choice what they want to do.
Well said.
@carldoardman8301
Don't get me started on that. Absolutely agree with you.
But checkout The Widow Maker video. This calcium problem is real and has been around for a long time.
@smileoften-ft3hq
I like many believe that the rush was financially driven.
Hi Kevin, I know in this TH-cam video you are referring to the heart check however in your mind what would be the best place in udon thani to get a full health check including skin checks.
PM me if you like.
Thank you
Personally, I think for the overall experience, the Bangkok Hospital or the Wattana Hospital. A bit pricy but for service and what's on offer, they come out in front.
If you are looking at cutting back a bit on what you spend then the Military Hospital might be worth looking at.
“Catweazle”? I feel more like Worzel Gummidge!
There'll be days like that too 😄
MY LEFT ARTERY IS 2.3, THE DOC SAID WHEN IT GETS TO 2.4 I''M DEAD LOL😂
... and no doubt prescribing big pharma meds?
There is so much good information out there now Jonathan, a little research can turn your life around.
CAC (coronary artery calcium) test is a no brainer
Amazed that it was suppressed for so long and still many have never heard of it.
I'm pretty sure I read the bill correctly but I just want to make sure, because it seems too incredibly cheap even for Thailand. Did you only paid a little less than $100 for that coronary arteries CT Scan to detects life threatening blockages of your coronary arteries by calcium build-up? Only one hundred dollars US? WOW, B2,999 total cost. I will be getting one of those CT Scan of my coronaries the next time I'm in Thailand for vacation.
Absolutely correct.
My wife works with an eye clinic here in Udon Thani, making referrals for them and that cost is much lower that other parts of the world.
I'm sure that medical tourism will be a growth industry for Thailand.
@@TheIsaanFarang What will be even bigger than medical tourism in Thailand will be the growth of english speaking medically certified nursing homes for elderly expats from the USA. Believe it or not, it is costing on average $5,000 to $7,000/month for a person to be care for in an American nursing home with 24 hours per day supervision and care. I bet the Thai can care for an elderly dementia patient full time for as cheap as $2,500/month.
Now we know why Bangkok hospitals are so expensive…. The car parks
Something in that I think 😄
hello Kevin and Pook is see your calcium is over 200 that is medium do you get some medication ore diet for lower the calciumrange
My score was only 36 Peter
I love new technology and I'm 60 years old with plenty of health issues Shueuemans, Rynoid and slight high blood pressure which I'm still getting investigated to see what the next stage will be but when I finally retire to Thailand I'll be looking into this for obvious reasons.
But that carparking is well above my pay grade I would have lost it just because I couldn't understand how it works 😂😂😂😂😂
Can't believe that I was blown away by new car park tech 😄
If you haven't seen this video, please watch it.
A good friend has solved his blood pressure and diabetes problems with adjusting his choice of food alone. Might be worth you looking into it. Reach out to him if you need any help.

Vitamin K2-7 and D3
For us, Niacin B3, Nano Vit C, and Apple Cider Vinegar, every day.
@@TheIsaanFarang google k2 d3
Red light therapy> D3 and it's good for diabetes as well according to Medcram.
the parking your paying for, and just a rip off. the cost is all in your bill for sure. Just like when you go to the car dealer they say Oh here is a free jacket and umbrella. Well you can tell them you don't want them and take the price of the price of the car as well. they will do it. the jackets and umbrella are normally just junk.
Well that's obvious.
Any business will include any overheads in what they charge to ensure a profit 🤷♂️
Pulling back onto a positive note... great hospital though.
Congratulations to the low Calcium score !
Thank you
calcium is more than 200 so it is medium
YOU ONLY HAD A TEST REGARDING HARD CALCIFICATION. SOFT CALCIFICATION IS FOUR TIMES DANGEROUS. A GROUP OF TESTS CAN MAKE A DETERMINATION IF SOFT CALCIFICATION POSES A DANGER. GO BACK TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TWO BLOOD TaeSTS AND A SCAN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE COSTS.
Sorry, can't hear you.
😄
@Marc-ys9og
SO YOU WANT ME TO GO HAVE MORE TESTS DONE JUST TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE COST.
hAVE A THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE SHOUTING ABOUT
What are the additional blood tests and scan?
In the UK the scan would cost £750. Check out vitamin K2
No more NHS it seams Billy.
Thanks for the info, we'll take a look 👍
@@TheIsaanFarang I got my 1st scan in Pattaya aged 40 and it was clear. I got another one last year again in Pattaya at age 46 and again clear. I only enquired at local private hospital (Spire) in the UK as an example. Less than 10% of the price compared. Some people think I’m stupid getting it if I feel ok 😕
