Update on ENG1 Medical Availability

[thaiscot]

Hi

My ENG1 ( Seafarers Medical) is due in a few months  & would prefer to do it in Thailand  as I live here , What is the latest info regarding  places to do it etc

I did my last one in the uk but know that could get it done at Bumrungrad  in bkk but not sure if still can

 

Any info gratefully  recieved 

Cheers

Not sure about Seafarers medical but I get my OGUK at Bangkok Pattaya hospital.

I don't think anywhere in Thailand does them anymore ( no mention of Thailand in MCA approved doctors). Depending on what sector you work in you might be able to use the Norwegian Seafarers Medical. I renewed my one at Samitivej Hospital Bangkok on Friday... brilliant service and only 3,200 baht.

 The Norwegian is as widely accepted as an ENG 1 is, but as I said depends what sector you work in...

Hope this helps...

List is below. Doctor in Singapore  who used to do them is now retired. None in Thailand.

I have used the doctor in KL. He is OK.

I renewed both my OEUK (OGUK/UKOOA) and Norwegian (NMA) medicals in one visit at Bamrungrad last July. In at 8:30, done and dusted by 11:00. Cost 8000 baht.
