Clinic recommendation

[gerryBScot]

I am passing through for a few days at the beginning of October and would like to get my blood tested as part of a general check up. All the usual suspects including PSA and full liver count. Can anyone recommend a clinic that can do this for me in HH at a reasonable cost? Many thanks.

Bangkok or San Paulo Hospital

When we used to stay for prolonged periods, we visited San Paulo if the need arose. In our dealings they elicited trust more than experiences at Bangkok Hospital. In reality, both are probably equal.

 

If cost is your primary concern, go to the state hospital. Not as convenient, but a lot of doctors/specialists work at all three.

Clinic 'Hua Hin Lab Center' Google it for the address. Probably has menu with price list on website. I have a leaflet but I'm not at home at the moment.

Many thanks for these recommendations. Hua His Lab Center looked perfect and so with advertised opening times I arrived at about 08:30 to be met with a notice saying staff are out. Had I not phoned I might have waited for another 1.5 hours. So  I headed to San Paolo rather than wait. If you intend to use this facility maybe go at its advertised opening time of 07:00. The frustration is the waste of money on Grab taxis. At San Paolo hospital they tried to sell me a health check package which I didn't actually want. I guess that is their job. Well organized with a European doctor and a Filipino receptionist. So I got the tests I wanted though they couldn't understand why I didn't want to see a doctor. For information the PSA test can be done with results in 1-3 hours at a cost of 1,500 THB.
