I had a full abdomen CT scan with contrasting agent at Chula yesterday. It was a bit over B13K.

It seemed to be a world class operation with very nice facilities, professional staff and state-of-the-art equipment. It seemed like money well spent to me. As a comparison, my son's birthday dinner at "Chocolate Factory" was about B3K for the four of us. The CT scan working to save me, while Chocolate Factory is working to kill me.

I think I pay more for weekend booking, but I am not sure how much.

Nice price, compared to my local (PKK) govt hospital. Full abdominal, no contrast, 15k or 17k rings a bell for price, March 2024.

Although no waiting around, about 1 hr at night clinic, asked to have done, sent downstairs and done immediately. Well worth a few 1k baht, not waiting, not previous visit to schedule, and no Q for the day, or line to have done.

Best, done locally, no trip to Chula or hotel while there. Had endo/colon scope done at Chula.

Does this full abdominal scan include the liquid stuff they put in your a$$ to check the colon?

I paid over 60k at medpark a few years ago and I think now that I overpaid a little

The scan includes the contrasting agent, yes, but introduced it using an IV via a heparin lock in the back of my hand, not in my a**. Given what you paid, you may have gotten the deluxe "Rainbow" package.

I used MedPark for a covid vaccine years ago and was not impressed. I think bummer is a much better operation for I think about the same dough.

I have been using Chula for about 15-20 years for my liver since my doctor moved there from Bangkok Hospital. It has really improved over the years. The only real bummer is the parking, which can be a nightmare.
