EKG and O2 can be normal even with significant coronary artery disease.

 

EST highly advised to pick up any signs of CAD early as well as to check your overall cardiac fitness.

 

@pattayapipYou should also have a colonoscopy if have not had one in past 10 years but those are never a part of check up packages, have to arrange separately.  From now until end of September BPH is offering it for 19K which is a very good price for private hospitals here  https://bangkokpattayahospital.com/product/gastroscopy-colonoscopy-packages/

 

Be aware that the following things in the package you have selected  are not suitable for mass screening and not recommended for that purpose as both false positives and false negatives are extremely common:

 

21 Digestive tract cancer screening (CA19-9)
22 Liver Cancer Screening (AFP)
23 Colon Cancer Screening (CEA)

 

These so-called "tumor markers" are useful in monitoring progress of cancer in some cancer patients but are NOT appropriate for cancer screening and should nto be used for such.  They can be normal despite presence of cancer and also be elevated from many causes other than cancer.

 

Also be aware that abdominal ultrasounds are extremely likely to pick up benign conditions such as liver/kidney cysts , small asymptomatic gallstones etc that do nto need treatment. For which reason no public health authority recommends routine abdominal ultrasounds ...tends to lead to a lot of unnecessary further tests and treatments (ditto the "tumor markers").

Thankyou for this Sheryl, and of course the link too for colonoscopy, I have had one maybe 6/7 years ago, But my Father Passed from Colon Cancer that was never detected until it had spread (Zero Symptoms before it was too late sadly) So i will do this also, Thanks again

Am Male 63, Not fit, don’t think unfit, slightly overweight (who isn’t haha)
Last time I had a decent medical checkup was maybe over 7 years ago now . .

Ok Live Pattaya so a few Good Hospitals
My Blood sugar levels have recently spiked, am really unsure of the reason, but that would be a must for comprehensive checking, but also while I do this am thinking to have a full and complete as possible full checkup to test Heart, arteries, Cancers and as much as possible, as any early pickup of anything is better than late . . 

Nearly all the hospitals appear to have comprehensive checkups for males 50+ but at greatly varying prices ?

Does anyone have recent experience and could recommend a good service in Pattaya Please ?

I am not bound by price, and that is not a sticking point, but then again I don’t want to just pay so much more is possibly needed ?
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

RIP Joe, you are already sadly missed here, you helped me many many times 

Yes Toyota every 6 Months or 10,000 Kms, but works both ways too, mine does so little kms, 18 Months old now and only done 6,000 Kms but on the 30,000 Km service Schedule . . . . 
Nothing i can do about it if i want to retain the warranty though . . .

I don't know baht & Sold, i only know Bahtsold.com, do you talking about the same website?

Yes

They used to notify you of replies, that has stopped, plus support would normally answer within a day, but now nothing, its coming up to renew a paid ad i have, but not going to renew if the site is not working (I know listing/Ad still there so people can see, but if any reply you have to log in and contact them direct) Not good

Has Baht & Sold Finished ?
I know their website still working, but notifications are not, and support do not answer at all ?

Anyone else having problems recently with Baht & Sold ? As in not receiving message replies to paid adverts placed ? Up until recently you would have any messages automatically forwarded to your own email address, this last few Months this has not happeded at all and i have missed replies ?
Contacted support twice with no reply . . .

I was rejected in RGB few weeks ago as had 2x Pfizer, was told to wait 6mo from last one.

Rode to Memorial hospital and got Moderna on the spot. Left 1650 bath less in pocket. Quick and easy.

 

However I have understood that this 6mo requiremet would not be applied any more, not sure thought

 

 

Did they give you all the needed paperwork so it was added to your Vaccine Records ?

Genuine Question, Employed by a registered Singapore Company, and paid from Singapore Head Office, but work in other Countries
I am paid Gross, no Tax or anything showing . . . 
Am i liable for Tax ? Although my contract is they resposible for Tax
Employed/Contract Company Registered in Singapore, Salaried Monthly from Singapore (Transferred into another foreign Bank) Only go head office a couple weeks a year
I am concerned about this and would like to know as had many differing views

Pretty sure i read somewhere that you can go to Memorial Hospital and pay 1650 for Moderna as a Booster ??

I arrive tomorrow, so my Day 5 Test should be 1st March, So hope I can just do the Rapid Test at Home, Or is this too much to wish for ?

So, Has anyone managed to show this PCR Test Purely on their Phone ?
In UK with having to do the PCR by Post makes it incredibly Tight/Difficult sometimes to get the result and print it off ?

Sorry ???? Did not realise it would post so many links . . 
Great Project though if you read all the docs, still very early days too

Have a look at Planetfinance (DFEI)

I have 2 accounts, one linked to an ATM card and used for all online purchases (PC and phone app) and one without ATM. The one without ATM is my main account, which fills up the ATM account as needed, with amounts of 10-20k. 
If anything happens, they can only access the ATM account and potential losses are contained.

 

Exactly as i have done for the last 20 Years, Good Move

Another silly question.  Where can I find the Mor Prom app download for my iPhone. Can't find it in the App Store.

Search Chonburi Hospital, Dont ask me why it comes up as that ???? But that is the correct App

70 Mai also, comes with full fitting kit, easy to dash mount, set and forget, can access via Phone too
