BH: Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited

Wow, it is not the great running hospital, nor the growth of operation, but I wow on the market price or the way that investor value this company. Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited (SET symbol: BH) currently is trading on 27 times of profit and almost 10 times of the book value.
Anyway, this is still within my watch list. I just like the hospital strategy to ride along the health tourism wave. It's target to the client in North America, Europe, Middle East who would like to have a standard medical practices at about 25% of price.
