2008bangkok Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Why not call?I did but they wouldn't give me a price just kept saying ' You need to see doctor first' I'm sure they must have a standard price for these things and I'm not going to see the doctor there if it's going to be overpriced.

brewsterbudgen Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 We used it for the birth of our child. Cheaper than Bangkok Pattaya but more expensive than a government hospital. I have no complaints about the service or price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It WAS really pretty cheap until about 2 or 3 years ago when they jumped on the white face ATM bandwagon.. Now prices are a lot closer to Pattaya Bangkok hospital than they are to government hospitals.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC1 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I had my ears cleaned there last year. They have a special machine which sucks the blockage out. That cost me ฿1800 all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid 700 baht for that at a clinic run by a Chula Uni medical prof in Bangkok. So I think 1800 was way over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stick ฿5-800 on top just to see the doctor. The only thing I will say is that where your ears are concerned, you can't mess about. I know some people on here have said they let the barbers shops unblock their ears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bantex Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I was admitted to this hospital a few years ago with a kidney stone and I was not impressed. I saw two doctors on different shifts who were monitoring my condition and each doctor continually contradicted the other, cancelling each other's treatments in favour of their own. I eventually checked myself out and caught a flight home. My insurance paid bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice any difference?My hearings poop and i'm not that old! Thanks. Instant relief. Most clinics don't have this suction machine and in seconds the doc had sucked a huge ball of wax out of my left ear. My other ear was normal. I still think it's a little expensive but I wanted it done properly, without risk of damage. There was a slight infection where I'd scratched my inner ear trying to clean it myself. The medication was also included in the ฿1800 on this bill - which I probably could've bought outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Just to give you a guide on pricing, a combined Gastroscopy/Endoscopy at a private hospital in Chiang Mai will cost between 18k and 25k baht based on the choice of hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 You can walk into Pattaya International Hospital and at the front desk they have a book which lists all their services and prices, no gotchas I used to use Pattaya Memorial but since their Russification avoid them like the plague Saw an ear doctor there and was not happy with his service so made an appointment for another doctor at PIH and low and behold it was the same doctor, charging 200 THB less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said above the bill is broken down into treatment, doc fee (rip off) plus meds (rip off). This is the same price as others have paid for this service at PM. This costs the same or more at BPH or PIH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reference on their website that they are now part of the Bangkok Group. Only the fact that they are the oldest private hospital in Pattaya (30 years).I'm not sure when/if that happened??
