I am in need of cataract surgery for one eye and I would like to know if any members have current, 2022 knowledge of surgery prices of hospitals in Bangkok or Chonburi. I have seen past posts about this topic on this forum but unfortunately the information is outdated and archived. However, I did note previous recommendations of Rutnin Hospital in Bangkok and the surgeon, Dr Roy C. The prices for cataract surgery at this hospital in June 2017 reported by a member was 65,000 - 70,000 B. I made an appointment and this past Tuesday 28th June, I went to Rutnin for an eye examination for which I paid 3,850 B that included the consultation with Dr Roy. He confirmed that my right eye was in need of surgery, etc. and I told him that I had already decided on a monofocal IOL lens implant. After discussing the pros and cons, risks and benefits he directed me to my last room destination of my examination, "the Estimator." I expected an increase from the 2017 price estimation but I was totally shocked at the price I was being quoted, 130,000 - 140,000 Baht! And of course in expected Thai style below the estimation it is stated, "A 100% deposit of the estimated cost is required upon procedure or prior to admission." Needless to say, I will not be proceeding with the surgery at Rutnin Hospital. Do any of the members here have any recommendations of a good quality Hospital in the Bangkok/Chonburi area where I can get reliable, experienced cataract surgery performed?
