Medical Exam in Thailand

[dragonboy69 0]

I was told it cost about $250 for a medical exam in Thailand, does anyone know if that is really accurate, or are there places that can do it for less? Just curious if I can shave some money off this expensive process thus far??

Depends on whether or not your fiancee needs any vaccinations updated. Rin had her medical at BNH in Bangkok in 2007; cost of the medical was around 2500 THB (about $70 USD), but the various vaccinations she had to receive since she had no proof of her previous vaccinations brought the total closer to 9000 THB (about $270 USD). Only two hospitals can do the exam in Bangkok; BNH and Bumrumgrad. I believe there is one in Chang Mai that is authorized, as well.

It may be possible to save on the vaccination part by going to another local hospital/clinic/doctor for the vaccinations, but we didn't want to bother with it.

Take a look at page 7 of this PDF. There is a list of medical facilities and their fees (that probably don't include vaccines.)

Medical exam fee in Japan is $250 at minimum. If you get all vaccinations, it goes high up to $500~$600.

I should have done my exam in Thailand!

If she under 27 she will need HPV vaccination and it will drive the cost up. We went to BNH and it cost us 12,500 baht.
