Blood Test In Bangkok

[wannascuba]

I will be traveling to the LoS soon. Can anyone help with a good clinic / hospital where I can get a blood test. I want to get results for; blood cell count, cholosterol HDL, LDL, thyroid, testosterone, and DHEAS? Any idea how much Bhat?

Bumrungrad hospital will do a comprehensive test, (23 tests) for 12K baht and isssue you a report. It takes 2 hours (and they give u a lunch voucher for the restaurant downstairs).

Google them and you will see the price for blood test only.

Thanks for the info "think too mut"

A free lunch also!! Thats awesome...

From one to another ordination you will be led by a nurse, no waiting. Like being on an assembly line.

The "free" lunch is not very good but during that time the doctor who saw you would be making the report.

Then you get a 15 mins sermon from him what's good and what's bad with your results and recommendations how to improve.

The report will be binded, with a color pic of the hospital on the front page. I found them accepted by the medics in Japan and Australia.

Also be aware that for that price you could have a complete physical as well as blood work at most good hospitals in Bangkok; but guess that color pic on the front page is worth it.

If you go to memorial hospital in pattaya you,ll get fair prices,paid 500bth for hiv and all the other stuff test.

Hospitals in Oz and Japan actually asked where the results came from..checked on their computers and said "OK".

I am not a big fan of Bumrungrad but the world has them on the books. At least for the routine tests.

As I posted earlier, Bumrungrad and Samitivej are money printing establishments.

That's what my Thai colleague said and I believe him.

For the routine lab tests, they are ok.

Anything bigger than removing tatoos (that I don't have) I would turn to a farang country hospital.

Bangkok Christian Hospital off Silom Road

Around Baht 10,000 for the combination check.

If you're able to analyse the test results yourself and don't need to see a doctor, then you can save a good deal of money by just heading to a laboratory.

I'd recommend Bangkok Medical Laboratory. Standard hematology (CBC and such), standard package of 8 blood chemistries (BUN, SGOT and such), and urinalysis come to less than US$15, with results back in two hours for most tests.

You can call to get their address: 0-2279-1455 or 0-2411-0076.
