Recommendations for blood/urine testing in Pattaya

[how241]

I am 69 and have no known health issues.  It has been many years since I have had a blood/urine check.  Should I go to one of the Pattaya hospitals or are there better alternatives?  It have been 9 years since my last colonoscopy,  anyone seen any promotions being offered at the local Pattaya hospitals ?  Thanks for any info.

Lifecare lab is the best and cheapest, probably don't provide data to insurance companies unlike hospitals

Try M.T. Interlab (https://mtinterlab.co/en).  Their price is very reasonable, and the results are out usually within 1 to 2 days.

Blood and urine tests can be obtained at a lab such as Lifecare  http://lifecare.siam2web.com/

 

Or, this middle (2,950 baht) package at Jomtien hospital contains all that is needed in terms of blood/urine tests with chest Xray, EKG and stool test as well  except for PSA, which you would have to add as an "extra".https://www.jomtienhospital.com/en/annual-check-up-packages.html

 

However at 69 you should also get screened for cardiac fitness/coronary artery disease.  You could ask at Jomtien about adding on an Exercise Stress Test to the check up package. Or, this package at Phayathai covers most of the blood work you'd want (just need to add on PSA)  plus EST as well as cardiac calcium score. https://www.phyathai-sriracha.com/product/โปรแกรมตรวจสุขภาพหัวใจ-4/  OR this one same but only EST https://www.phyathai-sriracha.com/product/โปรแกรมตรวจสุขภาพหัวใจ-3/

 

For colonoscopy, BPH has an excellent price package no on offer, 19k including polyp removal (but nto clear if that also includes pathology) https://bangkokpattayahospital.com/product/gastroscopy-colonoscopy-packages/

As going rate these days in private hospitals is 25K+, this is an ecellent promotion. Valid till end of Septemvber

Not to forget the cholesterol LDL and HDL levels that are always good to know and adapt diet if necessary.

I had my last colonoscopy done there in 2014 and it cost 17K.  Nothing was found.  That does seem like a Very good price. Thanks for all the info.
