Do you mean at OGUK at Bamrungrad ? How do you get this price? I don't know what @NanLaew is on about with YMMV as the price is fixed at this hospital. It was 3845THB when I did mine a couple years ago for the basic cheap option.

Yes the basic offshore medical at Bumrungrad. ( Doctor Vatana) As mentioned before the first time the tried charge a higher price and extra test but after i objected and provided them a list of which test was required they agreed and provided me the price around 2000 Baht . (i go there for almost 30 years so maybe that is a reason. i don't know)

@merijn being charged 2000 baht for the past 30 years at Bumrungrad is YMMV.

 

@WorriedNoodle being charged 3845 a couple of years ago at Bumrungrad is YMMV.

 

@NanLaew getting charged ~3400 baht, ~3600, baht and ~3800 in 2015, 2017 and 2019 respectively at Bumrungrad is YMMV.

Welcome to Thailand, Where the consistency is the non constituency.

Nope, that's not YMMV that's inflation. Same as I experienced at Bumrungrad on my last three OGUK's I have done there.

 

I will have to try @merjin s trick of negotiating the price to 2000 with them next visit but I am not expecting much, on my last bill for basic OGUK at 3845THB Vattanas doctor fee was 2000 to start with. They offered me two prices in the 3800 range (basic OGUK) or something in the 13,000 range (advanced OGUK) last time I asked, take it or leave it.

Hi Everyone,

 

I stumbled upon this old thread as I live in Thailand and need to renew my OGUK medical soon. 

 

As it's been nearly 4 years since the last post on this thread, is anyone able to confirm whether Bumrungrad is still a valid option or not? I can't seem to find it on the list of accredited doctors on the new OEUK/OGUK website https://oeuk.org.uk/doctors/find-a-registered-doctor/overseas-doctors/?country=thailand&region=overseas#038;region=overseas

 

Any feedback on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

I'm just searching too but also need the Chester step test if possible

Big Bert, FYI, I eventually found Dr Vatana/Bumrungrad on the OEUK website, I guess they were updating the website because I'm sure it wasn't there the first time I looked.

 

I emailed several of the doctors/hospitals in Bangkok from the list, only a few replied, some quoting up to 15,000 THB 

 

Anyway, Dr Vatana was the fastest to reply and also one of the cheapest quoting 4,200 THB for the service (the only cheaper one was 4,000)

 

As I actually need that too, he also confirmed that they can do Chester Step test as well, though I haven't gotten a price for that yet.

 

So I'm now booked for both OGUK medical and Chester Step in the morning of 22 April

 

Will let you know how it goes

I've completed my OGUK several at BNH Sathorn. 

 

At the time I was working for Transocean, it was the Transocean doctor that signed off.

 

 

I'm not sure if anyone, I get my OGUK done in Pattaya now.
