The Hungarian Padthai

 Due to the high increase of infected people, we have cancelled our holiday - which was supposed to start today. You know, the beach will wait, but health is first! However, there has been no provincial lockdown introduced yet (except for Samut Sakhon which is the highly infected province), but we still decided to cancel our week. We count here as migrant, and we didn't want to risk it to get it locked somewhere where we don't have a job or we don't know the means of getting around.  However, it is still good to know how Thailand treats the coronavirus and its dangerous.  Yesterday, on Monday, I had to get my bloodtest to check my thyroid hormones. Now I went to the other hospital (and it was 1000 TBH cheaper! :O) plus, I managed to talk to an endocrinologist, as well! I must tell you, the other day I went on a bloodtest at the weekend - so the big difference in price could be because of that. Upon entrance, there is the usual temperature measure as always, but this time,...

Note the date: 2563. Now, if I'm very afraid, I may turn up in 543 years instead - sure, I wouldn't feel any pain by then :-D    There is no week in Thailand that I don't use my medical card or test their medical services - with which I am satisfied so far.  So remember, the first week, I discovered something in my lymphs - which was harmless, luckily, so I had to go to the hospital. The following week, I went to a blood test - my thyroid results came out perfect so I could eventually stop the medicine for a while. :-) Then again, school sent me for another blood test, which was needed for my work permit - good results as it could be predicted.  Then on Thai days, we prepared a dessert, called Chuk Lup (or Chup Luk? can't remember anymore), which contained a lot of artificial coloring, so I got a skin rash (it was Loy Krathong and I was itchy all my body along!), then I had a nightmare. I dreamt I spent a whole day at the dentist's so I took it as a sign and walked ...

  I've had a pain in my armpits since Sunday so I had to see a doctor. I decided to check out the hospital to which I live close. It was quite an experience!  First of all, we have the King's Memorial Day today in Thailand (and believe me, it was only me who was not wearing a yellow T-shirt which is the official colour of the king)! I woke up early in the morning and went straight to the hospital. It's nice, because there is a highway next to my apartment and there is a bridge above it only for passengers, which takes me directly to the entrance of Kasemrad hospital. I packed my life insurance (purchased from home),the insurance card (which the school gave to me last week) and also some money with me.  At the entrance, after the usual screening and temperature check, an elegant lady escorted me to the third floor where they copied all my documents and luckily, I had a copy of my passport in my e-mail as well which I could send directly to the hospital. They printed it imm...
