mortti Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Where could I get a complete health check up in BKK? I asked Samitivej but they only had a very basic check up which wasnt what I was looking for. Money is not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 If money is not an issue go to Bumrungrad Hospital, just Google Bumrungrad and see their website for all details and location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdome Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Here's a good comparison website: http://www.thaiwebsites.com/medical-check-ups.asp After studying this as well as options in Malaysia and Singapore, the winner for me was... Singapore. They had a promotion for Sin$190 (from Sin$300). www.healthscreening.sg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very careful with this. I don't have a bone to pick about choice of hospitals/location but for me personally, I do want to know about the facility and the credentials of the doctors involved. If you are serious about this, compare what you see between the two web sites, if it helps. I've had medical exams and one major heart procedure done at Bumrungrad so I do speak with first hand knowledge of the facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damacles Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Bumrungrad's definitely worth looking into - its the only one I've used for various ailments but still amazed by the quality each time. I have friends in Manila who fly there for their annual medicals. There's a Health Screening page on their site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camerata Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Both Samitivej and Bumrungrad have multiple levels of annual health check, to which you can add any test you want. Contact the Wellness centres: http://www.samitivejhospitals.com/MedicalS...edServiceId=163 http://www.bumrungrad.com/package/health-s...nter/index.aspx I've found them both to be good. Not cheap, though. Bumrungrad is within walking distance of Ploenchit BTS station, so it's busier than Samitivej. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcent Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Bangkok Christian Hospital. This one is also used by most of the Embassies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route21 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Many thanks camarata for the link to Bumrungrad. A couple of years ago, I was on my way to Bangkok airport to fly home to the Middle East and was taken to Bumrungrad with Kidney stones (extremely painful). They sorted it out without any cuts (keyhole surgery). The facilities in the room were excllent - ensuite bathroom, cable TV, fridge and a sofa so my Thai wife to stay in room with me (rather than having to stay in and pay for a cetral Bangkok hotel room) Cost for the the overall deal was significantly less than I would have paid for similar service back home. Excellent service - I'd recommend them any day, to anyone Rgds NT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuffki Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Bangkok Hospital in Bangkok, i am sure they have a few options and i think now also running some promotion. It is one of the largest hospital chain in Thailand and now also in Cambodia. They do have excellent doctors and have it all onsite http://www.bangkokhospital.com/index.php?p...cking_Adult_bgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzy Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 If costs are not such an issue, Bangkok Hospital is one of the best around. A little on the expensive side, but quality/service is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Since Bankokians often post in the Chiang Mai Forum about BKK, I'll suggest that y'all come to Chiang Mai for excellent checkups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetaroi Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I recently did the most thorough version of Bumrungrad's complete physicals. Very thorough and relatively efficient...although it does pretty much take up the whole day. A good test for me was that they discovered something I already knew about that would not be expected to be caught in a general physical. I got a very thorough report via email shortly afterward, and that was after an in-person debriefing that I felt was quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunoro Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I would go to Bumrungrad as i have done before. Excellent service. Don't go to Malaysia as they only want to practice on you. I had an unknown hepatitis, the Malaysian doctors wanted to give me a liver transplant. Do i flew to BKK and went to Bumrungrad where they treated me with a special diet for 2 years. Still got the same liver 10 years on . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 So where do the people go for whom money is an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortti Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Many thanks for the replies. It looks like I will be heading to Bumrungrad (although i doubt the reason they are popular is not the proximity to BTS ). I very much liked to see beforehand what the tests include (unlike Samitivej) plus people seemed to like the service they had been getting which is the biggest compliment a hospital can get i guess.

onethailand Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Samitivej's checkup service is quite good - they also publish these lists - http://www.samitivejhospitals.com/price_pa...pe&ddsite=1 Waiting time is not long, though obviously the price is higher than most other hospitals.

It is a comparison website with links to the actual hospital websites where you can compare prices and what's included. Careful about comparing? Sorry, you lost me and I believe you were/are mistaken and didn't really look. But cést la vie on TV with some of the replies you get here.
