I'm interesting about Amphoe kumphawapi.
I am going to relocate for a period in this place, so I want to know
if there is a hospital there or a helth center, or something like that.
Can any body help me please?

Dont know much about this ampurKumphawapi.I think main street has numerous shops probably a 7/11.I know the train stops there.
Im sure some one will tell more. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bv_tq06nziU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bv_tq06nziU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Kumphawapi is located about 45 km south of Udon. The town itself is located about 5km east of Rte 2, the main road. The train does not stop in Kumpawapi itself but at the train station which is near Rte 2. A regular Songtaew route goes from Udon (Ha Yaak roundabout) to near Kumpawapi where they stop at Ban Phan Don, about 600 meters east of Rte 2. Further Songtaew's go over to Kumpawapi itself.
Ban Kumpawapi was originally an island during the rainy season. Nong Han Kumawapi is a lake that extends from east of the twon, to north and northwest.. Years ago (back during my first visit there in 73) it extended to the west side too. The town is the Amphoe capital with government offices, banks, (wth ATM's of course) 7-11, and varous other small stores and shops. Living in the town itself wouldn't be too bad and if you have a car for transportaton is about 30 minutes from Udon.

Don't know how we ended-up in the Southern but looking at the
Thai spelling of this place ( กุมภวาปี ) I want to hazard a guess it's
pronounced more like "goom-pha-wa-bpee", might make the
difference between someone understanding you or staring at
you like a crazy person, which happens to me just all the time.

Ok,thanks all for your answer.
But what about hospital,clinic or health center?

Thought FrazeeDK gave you that information. A 30 minute drive to Udon and you will have a choice of at least 5 major hospitals. Don't know if Kumphawapi has any local doctors but don't sell them short. Many years ago I used to rely on local doctors in Udon for minor illnesses such as food poisoning, tonsilitis, etc. instead of the US Air Force doctors at the air base and they always came through for me.

Actually the Songtaew route starts in Udon between the two roundabouts, stops at the Kumpawapi-Pandon busstation along motorway 2, then stops at Pandon town (1 km east of motorway 2), and ends at the market in Kumpawapi town.
You can also take the green bus to Wangsammor from the Udon busstation, it also stops in Kumpawapi town.

I don't know if there is a hospital in Kumpawapi, I will ask my wife. But I would advise you to go to Udon (AEK-Udon or Paolo) if you have to go to a hospital.

The only healthplace I know in Kumpawapi is at the KP-hotel in Pandon. They have a fitness centre, a swimming pool and a (traditional Thai) massage shop.
