go to the governmental hospital, not the top private hospitals.

 

yearly check ups, including blood, xray, egk, fob, urine 1950-4400b. 

 

mri private on t1.5 is 7k, contrast 2k. Same price as in Au.

Govertnmental cheaper, but waiting line several months.

 

there were 2.8mln medical tourists in 2019. They come for price and quality.

Sometimes insurance pay, sometimes the government for their citizens, if their own health service can't offer timely treatment.

Go to my local clinic every 6 months for complete blood and urine test B690, EKG B300.

Not true at all. They have an abundance of dentists and some of the best dental care in the world.

Sorry to disagree.

got a root canal done last week. fantastic work almost totally painless she was like a ninja with that needle.

 

no more than say 2 hours in the chair and 2100 baht later my tooth was fixed. 

 

back home you are looking at 20000b up for the same work. 

 

 

root canal is around 10k, 2000 is a price of a big filling, a small filling will cost 1000-1500, these are average prices around thailand.

 

And private healthcare is expensive and not affordable here (compare the price of ct scan or some endoscopic procedure to average monthly salary, 1:1) , i talked to some thais, many complain how much money they have to pay if they cant wait months to be accepted in government hospital, the same ratio in Baltic countries around 1:6 (6 ct scans per average monthly salary)

Vietnam is being totally incompetent for not promoting the country for medicql tourism.

 

I think my Endoscopy/Colonoscopy was a few hundred at a good private hospital - will check and post again.

(I'm assuming it's a lot more here - maybe not?).

if you mean $, my gastroscopy+colonoscopy full anaesthesia was 10 400b so $300 in bkk in december, governmental 3 months waiting time.

Cost of operation in governmental is 100-200k, that data is slightly outdated, probably by not that much.

ICU at the same hospital is total 3200b/night - 1600b room (meals included), 1200 nursing, 400 medical service.

State/Region hospitals - I understand that foreigners are "allowed", but are they running for profit for foreigners only while non-profit for domestic users? Just want to understand the system.
