And for ladies?

[MrBrad]

So what's the non-discounted price beginning January 1, 2014?

[chiang mai]

That's a good price, you couldn't get all those tests elsewhere at a decent hospital in the North, even if you cherry picked them.

[elektrified]

I assume that "Screening tumor markers (for ...prostate cancer)" is PSA?

[zippydedodah]

i got an email from them... yes, it is PSA....

[srn89]

Where is this hospital, anyone know ?

[chiang mai]

East of and on  the river, across from the Holiday Inn.

[Tokay]

Until what time of day do they take appointments for this?

[chiang mai]

My guess is that these are early morning appointments since you are required to fast for ten hours beforehand.

[binjalin]

sounds great!  I imagine they are doing this because very few people get check-ups this side of Xmas (I don't)  for the simple reason that the gluttonous period is approaching.

 

I get my check-ups in late Jan or Feb when I have had some chance to lose some weight and get the toxins out! (and the liver time to recover)

 

but maybe that's just me  

 

hope they have a new year deal too 

[zippydedodah]

just spoke with hospital..yes, they prefer you come in the morning, cuz of fasting, and you are required to stay 3 hrs for the blood work...

[legend23]

The price is normally 2600B, massive saving!!!

They do it for ladies also with different tests regarding the prostate. And they have to pay 2600B!

 

Come back another day and get the results, why bother staying 3 hours?

Is that fact? Only 100 THB discount? Guess I'll not bother before the end of the month in that case.

well, every other time in the past when i had a glucose tolerance test, they draw the blood every hour for 3 hours...

if that is the case here, then you are not waiting to get the results, but staying to do the test...

maybe i am wrong, i will find out when i go... but i agree, waiting 3 hrs just to get results is not appealing..

I don't know where you got the idea that it's a glucose intolerance test, only a fasting blood glucose test is being offered in the exam and that's a single sample.

i re-read their email... i stand corrected...thanks!

And for ladies?

 

Our Check-Ups for men normally range from 2,600b to 4,900b and for women from 2,700b to 6,700b.

The 12 hour fasting period required before testing does mean that morning appointments are most popular.

At present we feel these prices can be held into the New Year.

Screening for prostate cancer is indeed Prostate-Specific Antigen.

We do have an allergy specialist, Dr. Sopina and she or her colleague run the Ear/Nose/Throat clinic from 9.00am to 4.00pm Mondays to Fridays and 1.00pm to 5.00pm on Sundays.

For more information - and appointments - please call our International Relations Department (053 - 801999 ext 177) from 8.00am to 5.00pm Mondays to Fridays, and 9.00am to Noon on Saturdays.

In answer to another query we do have an acupuncture clinic.

 

 

[uptheos]

I would like to ask the acupuncturist's name and what type of certification he/she has and from where?

I would also like to know the cost of treatment please?

Have you tried Mungkala (Mungkala.com)  at 21 Ratchamanka for acupunture-supposed to be the dogs bees knees, with Hi So's coming up from BKK to get needles stuck in them. A friend had a course of treatment there and was impressed

Yes I have, quite a few years ago but I didn't have much success.

Also used the doctor at McCormick who is highly recommended.

 

I'll go for three strikes and try the one at Rajavej if he/she sounds credible.

Thanks for the inquiry and it's hoped to answer your questions by Monday morning at the earliest.

Delays of some 2 days in responding are caused by the fact that some International Relations staff - mainly concerned with communications - are not medically qualified. Thus they are not permitted to give out medical advice.

Seeking the correct responses from qualified people internally is an essential step before information is passed on. We hope readers understand this.

Fully understood and I look forward to receiving an answer to my question in due course. 

[beau thai]

For those wanting the prostate psa test, if you are taking saw palmetto daily ( so not so many pitstops at night). I believe it may give a falsely lower psa reading, so you may want to avoid taking it for 3 or 4 days before the test, just to be sure.

[bluweyze]

I am a little confused by this post. I looked on the website and they had a promotion on health checks so I phoned up the hospital. They said there is no promotion and they have nobody that can correct the website. I must pay full price. I will now print off this post and see what reaction I receive when I attend my appointment.

We do have on-going problems with the English language section of the website and these are being addressed. Our apologies!

The offers for male and female Check-Ups do indeed last until December 31st, and a call in English to International Relations on 053 801999 ext 177 will verify this and establish an appointment.

The female Check-Up offer is priced at 2,600b and this includes pelvic examination and pap test.

How much is not-promotional price for the same test after 31 December ?

A glucose tol. test won't be included.  A simple finger prick would give results for diabetes.   Most of these tests are not that useful.  Just make you feel your being looked after.

[trainman34014]

They do these promotions from time to time and my wife and I took advantage of the modest discount back in June.  This is a very good deal and they are very thorough with a nice typed report at the end.

 

We arrived at 10am and were finished everything by 2pm.
