TotallyOz Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Take a look at their specials for gay pride. Does anyone else find this totally offensive? https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/packages/packages-center/pride-clinic-bangkok-thailand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinapu Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I don,t . Thay may be visitors from countries where such screenings are not available or being subject to those may put I dividual in line of trouble. Business is business and ar Christams time Chrismss trees are hot items and I,m certain that most condons everywhere are sold after dark so hospitals are trying to cash on Pride floridarob and fedssocr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Pride Special is for gay men and all these checkups are STD's and sex related. I am so much more than that. If they had offered other specials and packages, I feel that would have been great. But, to center on the ones they chose is horrible. IMHO Lucky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedssocr Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 but it's not only STIs. It's full blood screening panel and behavioral assessment like you would have in any annual physical. But then adds in the sexual health stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I have had 10 of these packages from this hospital in the past and never was that a part of any of them. I wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedssocr Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I don't know. But my doctor does an informal sort of assessment which seems to be the current accepted practice with respect to mental health. That's something that's been happening the last few years where they talk about depression and emotional health issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamtam Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 "You think too much", would probably be the Thai reaction to anyone who feels offended by these packages. Having your junk checked regularly is important in today`s gay hook-up wolrld where PrEP and BB seems to be more the rule than the exception. I know that many visitors does that in the PULSE Clinics in Thailand because they might not have the same opportunity at home. khaolakguy and fedssocr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gayinpattaya Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 In the UK they call it the "Pink Pound". Charge gay men more because they have more disposable income (no kids). It's been the same with pornography for decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonSmith3002 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 When I go to see my doctor, this is pretty much exactly what I get, so it just seems like a pretty normal check up to me? It does seem kind of expensive, but I'm in the US and have health insurance, which is also very expensive, but I don't have to pay that much when I actually see the doctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0oL1 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Maybe they should offer a special on anti aging or penis enhancement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterRS Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I find the price reductions peanuts! Early last year BNH on Soi Convent was offering 65% off joint packages - colonoscopy plus gastroscopy; heart MRI plus carotid artery ultra sound; and others. The year before, Bumrungrad offered a reduction on a colonoscopy for 44,000 baht incuding an anaesthetist. The BNH joint price was 36,000 baht. Although with my lifestyle I have always had a slight concern about heart issues, I was delighted when the doctor told me the scan showed absolutely no problems whatever. We then spent the rest of the consultation talking about whiskies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
