sqwakvfr Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) I did both at Chiang Mai Ram and total cost was 36,000 in April 2021. Pathology report came back a week later. I believe a similar priced package is currently being offered at Ram. Edited August 11, 2022 by sqwakvfr 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a340bangla1 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Have done a colonoscopy at BPH not so long ago. Cost was about 37'000. Pathology took about 3 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxxper Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 About a year ago I had a colonoscopy at BPH. 18,000 baht from memory. Seemed pretty efficient. Report was available in 2 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe a similar priced package is currently being offered at Ram. I had a colonoscopy, I believe using NBI (narrow band imaging) instead of the usual "white light" at Bumrungrad in 2018. The following explains various endoscope approaches including NBI: https://www.asge.org/home/about-asge/newsroom/media-backgrounders-detail/new-endoscopic-technologies Samitiivej in Bangkok uses NBI. I'm wondering whether CM Ram, Bangkok Hospital CM, or others in Chiang Mai use this technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo1968 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Why would anyone require a lab report not unless they found polyps and removed them as they do in the U.K. during the procedure. I had a colonoscopy in the U.K. a year or so back as blood was detected in a poo sample in the kit provided by the NHS, they send kits out from 60 years old till your 74 years old. The colonoscopy was carried out by a professor, after he had had finished the task he told me there and then I was all clear. I asked where did the blood come from, he said possibly from cleaning your teeth ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had both done at Bumrungrad and got the results the next day. Very professional and the hospital is like a 4-5 star hotel. When I questioned them about the procedures before they started they told me that it would involve inserting a camera down my throat and into my rectum, but not to worry as I would be sedated and wouldn't feel anything....I said okay so long as you do it in that order! However, when I got the bill not only was it a pain in the @rse, but also hard to swallow! Edited August 13, 2022 by Troy Tempest 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrymahoney Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Most here have talked about colonoscopy but the OP request also mentioned endoscopy. One important test with endoscopy is presence of H.Pylori bacteria indicating gastritis. Gastritis can get nasty if not properly treated. This is done with withdrawn samples almost like an ATK test: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pylori MAY indicate gastritis. An endoscopy can detect gastritis that has shown no symptoms and, if H. Pylori is also present, start a drug regime against that. But in my case, especially as I consume zero alcohol and have none of the other behavioral causes and no symptoms, the doctor said post-endoscopy gastritis and H.Pylori so he had me start the standard anti-H. pylori bacteria regime.

thaiclan Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Wherever you go, make sure you get a DVD of the procedure. That way if you need a second opinion you won't need a new procedure. My husband had a coloscopy at PIH and was told he had 'advanced cancer' directly after the procedure. Not only did he NOT have cancer (biopsy was clear) but he had diverticulitis - a very serious infection. Bumrungrad seems to be better priced these days compared to BPH. Just the other day I needed quotes for a spine MRI. Bumrungrad 17k, BPH 54k 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the other day I needed quotes for a spine MRI. Bumrungrad 17k, BPH 54k 10 years ago or so Bumrungrad gave a video disk of the colonoscopy. My doctor in Boston was impressed. In recent years they just issued printed reports. The latest (2018) had a map of the colon indicating where various snapshots were taken. I got the impression that they used an advanced scope with NBI (narrow band imaging). https://ensem.samitivejhospitals.com/colonoscopy.html https://www.asge.org/home/about-asge/newsroom/media-backgrounders-detail/new-endoscopic-technologies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
