MrBrad Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 So what's the non-discounted price beginning January 1, 2014? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I assume that "Screening tumor markers (for ...prostate cancer)" is PSA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 My guess is that these are early morning appointments since you are required to fast for ten hours beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binjalin Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippydedodah Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend23 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

RajavejChiangmai Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also like to know the cost of treatment please? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beau thai Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluweyze Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 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.
