As someone who spends four months of the year in Thailand I can attest
that not all are first rate.  Over the years I have had bad experiences
in two, and my spouse in two others.  There is only one in Bangkok we
would use, Bumrungrad.  In Pattaya the only one we would use is the
Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital.  I have never been to Phuket, but I have been
told that there is a good one there; let us hope he is at that one.

I learned the hard way *never* to ride a motor bike in Thailand, either
by myself or on a motor bike taxi with a Kamikaze driver.  Every Thai
person I know has been involved in at least one motor bike accident.
