Subject: Post: <p>Traditionally someone has fallen ill on almost any trip, and this time doesn't make an exception. I felt my ear being blocked for some days and hurting a bit from the morning, so I decided to visit a familiar clinic in Khao Lak in the afternoon. The ear was not critically hurting yet, but thought it might be a good idea to check before the diving trip.</p><p></p><p>Unfortunately when I reached Khao Lak by taxi the clinic was actually not open. The door said it should be open every day from 05:30pm to 08:00pm and it was already well past the opening time, but the door stayed closed. I decided to wait for a moment more, had dinner in the nearby restaurant and got really lucky with the doctor visiting the clinic to pick up something. He told they had not been open on Sundays since the pandemic begun due to less clients, but was able to inspect me now.</p><p></p><p>My favourite Thai doctor Chusak inspected the ear, ("Ou"), and told the ear specialist (his wife) would come in a moment to clean it. He even remembered some Finnish, "vasen korva, paljon vaikku". :)</p><p></p><p>The ears were washed, a huge load of wax removed and I got some antibiotics for mild infection in the ears. During my doctor visit another unhappy patient had been suffering in the hotel room, as Iryna also had some temperature. I brought her a corona test which was negative, so let's see how her condition develops until tomorrow.</p><p></p><p>Other than that, not that much was done today either. We just swam across the river to the other side and spent time around the hotel, in addition to a beach dinner.</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
