    Cataract Surgery Chiang Mai - for info

    in Chiang Mai

    Posted

    Thanks for raising this discussion Mike. I had a trifocal lens fitted back in the UK last year after having previously having retinal surgery in Sriphat. I am surprised that you are getting advised that the lens replacement won't correct your vision. Even a monolens is normally made specifically for your eye based on measurements taken by the specialist. Surely they aren't saying that they are just going to fit any generic lens in such an opportunity to sort out your vision. After having had a bad experience with Sriphat myself of going through unnecessary retinal surgery I suggest that you get a second opinion. I was so untrusting of the Thai system I returned to the UK for my cataract surgery.

    Special 1080p? What are you talking? Music subscription? I can download anything I want from there anyway. There are no ad-blocking hassles. I don’t see any ads, so where is the hassle?

    So now they have even more of your data, your mobile number, address, credit card details. Way to go 🙄 You’ve not only sold your soul but you are paying them to take it away. 

     

    So you don't value the higher quality video or higher quality music streaming than the free option? It's a veritable bargain given the price in Thailand..

    The benefits of premium membership far outweigh the hassles of ad blocking. You get access to the special 1080p resolution, a music subscription and no ads. I use the family subscription for 299 baht and my family back in the UK can also use it. Everyone has dumped their Spotify subscriptions so it's a real bargain for us.

    The biggest risk here is getting 'diagnosed' for unnecessary surgical treatment. I was falsely diagnosed with a detached retina. Months later having failed retinal surgery I am back in the UK getting things resolved with my vision compromised. The surgeon diagnosed both eyes however I refused the second eye and on my return the UK eye hospital concluded that I do not require surgery! I most likely didn't require retinal surgery in the first eye. My eyesight has been compromised due to a greedy,  reckless Thai medical 'professional'. The medical profession are driven by money here and not ethics....

    That car is not worth 1 mill in my opinion.

    Compared to the Nissan Leaf at 2 million it is a veritable bargain. The Nissan has passive battery cooling and is unsuitable for a hot climate. Most current EVs have superior battery thermal management including the Good cat ..

    Why is it costing double price as in China? I thought there was no import taxes on vehicles from China.

     

    Very girly looking car in my opinion.

     

    Who is Tesla Bjorn? Never heard the name before.

    The price seems comparable to the expected UK price, I couldn't find the price in China. GWM have poached one of Porches guys hence you can see the likeness to the German brand from the front. 

    Tesla Bjorn is big on YouTube
