Thanks in advanceI did a check up in Bangkok hospital, 1200 baht or so for visual check, and got recommended to remove two moles for 22 000 + medication. I did it back home for free (tax money)

January 29Jan 29 Bangkok Pattaya hospital Pattaya has a dermatologist with a magnifying glass etc.I forget the drs name.
January 29Jan 29 In Pattaya, that is Dr. Anna Jaruwan. But OP asks about Bangkok.Suggest Samitivej Sukhumvit, one of these doctors:https://www.samitivejhospitals.com/doctor/detail/paritas-sukriket https://www.samitivejhospitals.com/doctor/detail/patcharahatai-kraisak https://www.samitivejhospitals.com/doctor/detail/nopadon-noppakun

I'll go for Samitivej or BNH for a comprehensive check but I'm surprised there are no responses based on personal experiences of hospitals/docs/skin checks as I'm sure skin cancer must be a constant danger to expats in Thailand.

Any certified skin doc, can look at your skin, and simply use liquid nitrogen to remove any suspect abnormities. Why biopsy & excise, just zap them off with a dab of liquid nitrogen.I used a doc at Udon Thani, and excellent, cost only 200-300 baht for exam and a few dabs of nitro. Sadly he retired, so can't help with recommendation.I went to Bumrungrad @ BKK for screening (1000 baht), and would never recommend them to anyone.Good Luck

Not every skin doctor has knowledge of cancer as Thais do not suffer from it. Liquid Nitrogen is normally used for Keratosis or pre-cancer. If you have a basal carcinoma (real cancer) it can only be diagnosed by biopsy and has to be removed by surgery with second additional biopsy to see if all tissue has been caught.

For better results just use Google (or your favourite search engine) and add aseannowFor example "skin cancer aseannow"https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=skin+cancer+aseannow
