david_je Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Looking for someone professional but at hospital that doesn't charge high prices. Also curious if someone here has done without full anesthesia. Thanks for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRToMRT Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 My last one was 250k but that was for both ends (throat to stomach and butt to stomach) under general anaesthesia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y Chang Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 We went to RSU Healthcare. Here is the link to their website: https://rsuhealth.com/new-home-en/. The doctor was Varocha Mahachai, MD. She spoke English quite fluently. The procedure was done under sedation, not general anesthesia, so it was very sleepy but not unconscious. For your reference, the price a year ago was 24,000 bhat plus an additional 700 bhat for medication charge. We were quite happy with their service. Hope that helps!

Y Chang Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 BTW, the 24000+700 bhat I quoted above covered gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) I did a Gastro-Colonoscopy at Bumrungrad about six years ago, sedated, Dr. Poungpen Sirisuwannatash, very successful - less than 30,000 Baht, maybe a bit more. Covered by BUPA (now Aetna). Edited December 20, 2021 by NewGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiree Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Similar at BNH about 3 years ago. Just under 30,000, pre-approved and paid by Aetna. Not unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 The least expensive option for this is the Chulabhorn Cancer Hospital (a government hospital under royal patronage). https://www.chulabhornhospital.com/ Last I heard, under 10k (including IV sedation - and believe me you do NOT want to try this without it). You will have to go in person to make appointment. One thing I do not know is if, due to COVID, they have stopped appointments for elective screenings and/or have a backlog.

I got scoped both directions there. Excellent care. Express service charge actually brought it more in line with private hosp. pricing, but since already registered (time consuming in itself) & there, wasn't an issue. Need a lot of patience to use Gov't hospitals. And they can be hit & miss. Chula is excellent, but all the metro locals (8 million) know & use, so Q's are silly long.

Or do you mean 10K on top of normal cost (which i think is 6-7k public channel)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Just now, KhunLA said: 10k was express service charge only. Didn't ask if it was 5k each. So total is likely around 15 - 16K. Still less than private hospitals which these days range 22-30K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typo correct? Because one of the most expensive hospitals (medpark) charges 25,000 for this combo special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
