Capsule camera, colonoscopy, EGD in Bangkok

[newbie0001]

1. Can anyone give a quote for any of these 3 procedures: EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy/gastroscopy) colonoscopy or/and capsule camera in upper GI (small intestines) at ANY hospitals in Bangkok?

2. If anyone has done the capsule camera, can you give a brief description on the length and details of the procedure and where it was done with which doctor?

3. Has anyone had experiences with this clinic or the doctors there?? Digestive Network www.digestivebkk.com/

Any feedback, good and bad, on specific doctors that conduct these procedures is greatly appreciated.

Costs will vary by hospital and many list the price on their websitrs so suggest you look there first.

Roughly, colonoscopy at a private hosptal will be around Baht 15-18K plus or minus (including IV sedation)

gastroscopy at a private hospital 14-16K but be careful as prices for this do not always include IV sedation.

Hospitals sometimes have promotional packages.
