Bumrungrad

[gradtaai 8]

We got there at 9:30, physical over before noon. They want you to come before 11. Cost now 3100bht. My wife only had to have second Tdap 963bht for a total of 4063bht. They will take either the 1 X 1.5 photos or the 2 x 2. 2 hour wait after physical to get sealed packet for immigration.

I forgot to add that they want 4 photos, not the 3 in the packet 4 instructions.

Lucky you, I had to pay 6900 baht. Good thing I had 6000 and cash and an atm card with me.

And that was in early 2014? Something must have changed.

I don't think anything has changed, it might be your girl had more paperwork of vaccinations than mine did.

I don't think anything changed either. We had to pay about Bt8000 at BNH. But then my wife had at least two vaccinations, so that's what bumped up our cost.

Well, my wife had no vaccination records either. She only had to have the Tdap and the MMR. We got the MMR at another hospital before going over for the medical, for a little over 400. So unless Bumrungrad is charging over 2500 for the MMR, I can't see how it could come out over 6500. I'm not arguing with you over what you were charged, I'm just reporting on our visit April 26. Anyway, just to show the cost was not out of line

Sorry-- I see I had a senior moment. The medical was on April 19

I think BNH charges only a couple or three hundred baht more than Bumrungrad, so the vaccinations are definitely what bumped ours up to Bt8000. (Bt7995 to be exact.) Why they said she needed vaccinations your wife did not need, I don't know. Could have to do with personal medical history. But my wife and I simply dislike Bumrungrad. We've both had bad experiences with them in the past and simply won't go there for anything. They are tops when everything goes well, but if a problem occurs, they go into denial overdrive. Simply don't like the place.

It was my first time there, so, no history. The hospital we went to to get the shots (Saovabha --the snake hospital) was a lot cheaper, but didn't have any MMR when we were there first time so just got the Tdap. This time, we got the MMR, but Bumrungrad wanted to give her the second Tdap that we would have gotten in the morning along with the MMR if we knew they were going to require it. Saovabha wanted to give her others (flu and something I can't remember), but I had read that the two were the only ones that were given.
