Some hospitals in Pattaya have discount cards. I suppose it encourages loyalty.

Usually pay 1 or 2 thousand B and get a free physical and 10% off rooms, procedures, and drugs.

Does Bumrungrad or any of the big private farang hospitals have discount mechanisms?

Yes, Samitivej and the Bangkok Hospital Group have a membership program with three different tiers.

I have the Prime Platinum and it's already saved me more than I paid for it.

Hello Gguy,

Yes we do, it is called the Health Living Club Card.

Being a sponsor of this forum, you will see our banner - on TV this actually is a promotion for the HLC card itself. You can click on the banner or go here for more information:

The card is available to residents of Thailand only (both foreign and Thai), and must be purchased at least 7 days before any procedure which may be affected by the card's pricing.

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

Best regards,

Scott @ Bumrungrad

I have a Bumrungrad card and it was very useful when I required surgery and an unanticipated overnight stay last year.
