Hi,

me and my wife are waiting for a baby, and now we need to do an ultrasound and arrange a visit to a gynecologist. Currently we live in Pattaya, but the local hospitals (for ex. Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital) quote for that something around 7000 Baht, which is a quite expensive amount i think for that kind of procedure. We come to Bangkok on weekends regularly, so we started to think to make an ultrasound somewhere in Bangkok, and would be really happy if anyone can recommend some hospital/doctor where we can do this for a reasonable cost.

Thanks in advance!

ps: to moderators - if this topic in a wrong part of the forum - please move it to an appropriate one. thank you.

try this link: http://www.pattayamemorial.com/memo/page-ultrasound-32.html for Pattaya.

If you go to any govermental hospital (like the big one near victory monument ) the costs will beabout 500B,

Sukumvithospital thake about 1000B my wife say.

all the best for you and your wife

thanks hanspi! we've contacted the Sukhumvit Hospital, and they've quoted B1200 per ultrasound, which is much more realistic, so we've decided to choose this one.

Congrats!!! Both on the baby and finding a reasonable price

For info of others - specialist baby clinic in the sticks of Issaan (regional small town of Kantaralak) cost about 500baht for a half hour doctor consultation plus ultrasound plus analysis/pictures. Monthly consultation without scan 200 baht. I think those prices also included some medication for my wife who had maternal diabetes during the latter stages of pregnancy.

Cheap as chips, although not to the local rural poor who would go to the public hospital and queue for a couple of hours to get a very cheap or free consultation.

I must say that for a third world country Thailand seems to have pretty good basic public health care provision.
