Fair price or not for fever in bukhoao clinic soi bukhao

[ace123]

1st time in clinic in thailand. 2800 doctor see me.. blood tests.. i.v drip b complex and glucose.. anti biodics and 4 other medicines 2800 baht... the girl with me said she got similar treatment in the soi bukaho hospital for 400 baht. Just wondering if its fair price??

[ZRHuser]

It does not sound overly expensive to me. However, it's a little difficult to tell you with the information you gave. There are different antibiotics and all cost a different price. Also the 4 other medicines, how can we know how much they would cost anyway. 

 

btw. I would not listen to the Girl, her "similiar treatment" may have been not realy the same. That said, you will usualy pay more then Thai people.

Can you put a price on health ??? As long as you feel better dose it matter

[ace123]

We have medicare in aus so this stuff is all free.. thats why i asked... no price on health but they could charge farangs anything and i wouldnt know any better.. just checking. Any other good clinic for future reference? Anyone tried the soi bukhao hospital??

$100AU is bugger all....

Hospitals usually cheaper than a clinic and farang usually pay more than Thai . 

Sounds a bit expensive to me while the meds are probably the cheapest of the

cheapest Indian brand in small plastic bags and not the original box . 

But a bit hard to tell from the info you gave us . 

[ace123]

Meds are in plastic bags look cheap.. to see the doc was 100 blood tests were 300.. so the drip must be the expensive bit

I get sick alot if i was to stay here longer nect time i just want to find cheapest. . If this guy is responsible then im happy. Like i said this is all free in aus so i cant compare

[jerry]

Just to show how cheap meds can actually be in these countries ... 

 

Few years ago i had a Cambodian friend who needed meds . Pharmacist was packing about 200 pills in all colors and sizes in

a bag . Girl tells me 'J , can you please pay for me , i forget my money' ... i think , ok that was the reason why you wanted me

to come with you to the pharmacy ... 

 

I pull out a $50 bill as i expected the price to be around there somewhere ... got $49 change ...

Cost of flight back to Aus to get the free medical would come to more than you paid at the clinic...  just saying...

I've been told I needed IV antibiotics in both Philippine and Thai hospitals for different ailments. Each time I said no, just give me oral antibiotics (pills). Everything worked out fine. It's an IV=peso/baht scam. IMO

No. Pattaya City Hospital is on Soi Buakaow. Pattaya Memorial is past Buakaow, just off Pattaya Klang.

ACE ... Can i ask your reason for visting the clinic ?

 

So u had Vitamin B injections ? And some other anti biotics ?

[badboybilly]

Did the medicines work ? If it worked or made you a bit better then it was worth it but i still yhink 2800baht was a but high .

You need to get your immune system strengthened, get yourself some Reishi, it's a Chinese medicinal mushroom, works wonders for immune system, it's great for liver and relaxes the body and mind also.. Another good product is Astra 8 by Fusion, you can pick them up at most health food stores in Oz, but you need to take this stuff all the time it t least a month or 2 leading up to your trip.. Lay off the booze its wrecking your immunity..,

[OKAY]

if the treatment worked then it was worth the baht. I've tried City Hospital and walked out after 15 minutes of waiting for someone to assist me. The girl gets a better treatment price because she is not falang.
