Gastroscopy in Chiang Mai

[pub2022]

Anybody got one recently?

How much did you pay?

Any recommandation other than the most expensive places (Bangkok Hospital, Ram Hospital etc)?

I asked 3 hospitals and they all give you a total anesthesia (a short one btw) for the price of 15-18,000 baht.

Do you know any place you can get only a local anesthesia? There's no need of a total one in my opinion and it costs more as well.

Cheers

Had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy in a public hospital in Sisaket province for 7000. They actually tried to sedate me a little but it didn't knock me out. The procedures weren't a problem.

It is not "total anesthesia" anywhere, it is short acting IV sedation and does not add that much to the cost. Much recommended, but suit yourself.

 

Anyplace can give you only a spray local anesthetic if you ask, but it is going to be quite unpleasant and probably save just a couple thousand baht.

 

Dr. Jeerasak Intarukka has been recommended by many people and can be seen at McCormack hospital  https://www.mccormickhospital.com/eregis/?i=finder

 

They have a 15k package until the end of the year, not clear if it includes IV sedation but at that price, probably not.
