JAS21 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I had both, up and down, done middle of last year at Chulabhorn. Can’t remember exactly the cost but between seven and eight thousand Baht. If you want it done quickly then you need to use the Extra Clinic which is a little bit more. Mine was an appointment from five years ago. This could be the forth since I have lived here. They have never found anything. Also have not been given another appointment … do they know something ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual cost at a private hospital is around 20K but there are sometimes promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case you may have to request it which will up the cost (but is well worth it). I had gastroscopy years ago at Mission Hospital in Bangkok and was shocked to learn upon my arrival that the price did nto include anesthetic and they were planning on doing without it. (I insisted on it, and it upped the price). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Reflux is much better today, what can I take daily in order to strengthen the Stomach Valve should another episode occur what are the best tablets and maybe liquid to take, The Hospital gave me tablets (ITOpride HCI, gaNATon) 50mg, 3 times daily) which he said would make the valve tighter so could I take these daily for a long time. Thanks. Edited February 20, 2022 by Badrabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Ganaton which you have already been given may help somewhat. Other medications would just reduce the acidity of stomach contents not stop the reflux per se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
