Somnambulist Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I need to see a doctor but I hate dual pricing. Can you point me toward one that doesn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) If you are looking for a small clinic in Pattaya area try the one on Thappraya where the road turns right to Jomtien. Another one is on Pattaya Tai by 3rd road crossroads Edited October 28, 2023 by scubascuba3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextG Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I went to Banglamung Hospital, even though I carry in excess of 800,000,000 baht of medical coverage. I’m just an ordinary guy 😊 I also visited Bangkok Pattaya at the same time. Though I didn’t have to pay for treatment at BP. Cannot fault the treatment at Banglamung Hospital. No real waiting at all. Exemplary and relatively inexpensive. Was happy to make some small donations to other attendees during my visits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just an ordinary bragging about how great their insurance is and how kind, selfless and giving they are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In answer to the OP that Banglamung Hospital is a possible solution to avoid being overcharged, given that someone who could visit BP was in fact happy with the service at BH. But that just flew over the head of grumpy you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Go to a government hospital. If you just need a clinic, go to an Amphur level government hospital. The cost is fair. Ask BritManToo who just got run-down by a car while on a motorcycle. The trade-off on pricing is the wait. And you will wait. Even with that said, to be honest, for consultations? I'd still go to a private hospital as consultations are generally cheap. Edited October 29, 2023 by connda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know the ailment involved, but at least the OP has good info from which to make a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of mine spent his last 2 weeks there, first in a ward, then a private room. He received perfectly good care for a fraction of what he'd have paid at BPH. Recommended. For those of you holding one of those utterly useless pink cards, I suggest using it to register there and at hospitals generally. Been reports of avoiding the farang surcharge thusly. I dunno, I'm under Thai SS and use Sirikit free. No harm in trying; it's only your wallet. Edited October 29, 2023 by BigStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
