The Platinum Diamond Plan at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital

I decided to enroll in the Diamond Club at Bangkok Pattaya and that was 14k baht. That gives me many discounts on most services at the hospital. I spent a day at the hospital taking in one exam after another. The physical was included in the cost of the membership. They did a heart test, blood test, cholesterol, sugar, stress, etc. All in all, they spent about 5 hours with testing from one department to the next. I also elected to do the HIV test and Thyroid check and a 64 slice scan. The entire day went from 9am till 4PM. They were VERY thorough. I was happy with the results and the doctor at the end of the day gave me a full report that was bound with the results and also suggestions on staying healthy. The main one he was was to loose 15 kilo. I told him I had lost quite a bit over the last year and he said, "need to loose more." Well, I guess all the results can't be great.

They did find a gall stone that needs to be taken care of in the next 6 months but I will also check that out with my doctor in NYC for a second opinion. If I decide to have to removed via surgery, I'll most likely do it in Thailand as well.

The 64 slice scan results take a few days and I won't have them until Monday.

The entire day cost 14k bath but the extra tests I wanted and the 64 slice scan and the extras was 11k bath. So, the total cost for the entire day was 25k baht. I get another physical next year that is also free and part of their package.

Bangkok Pattaya is an amazing hospital. I have been there many times and love their dental center and send my boyfriend and his family there when they are sick.

I have heard some negative things about the place before but IMHO, this place is simply amazing. Clean, professional, thorough. It does look more like a 5 star hotel than a hospital but that makes the day go by even faster.
