Health checks in Bangkok

Have you had a health check lately?
Have you had a health check lately?

We all need to have our health monitored every now and then and it makes economic sense to have one done while in Thailand since the costs are so much cheaper and it’s all over quicker than it takes to get across Bangkok in a taxi jam.

Many people choose to have a health check in Bangkok during their holidays to Thailand. This is a great idea to take advantage of Thailand’s best hospitals and afterwards you can enjoy the fantastic beaches, vibrant nightlife and unique Thai culture. Not surprisingly Bangkok hospitals all offer a tailored package of health checks to visitors and expats alike, costing as little as US$100 for a thorough check.

Bangkok’s hospitals offer all types of health checks, from the most basic pulse, blood pressure, eye test checks, right up to full body scans that check the liver, kidneys and heart. Health checks in Bangkok can also be tailored to males and females and specific age groups and the best hospitals can also put you up in onsite three or four-star accommodation.

Health checks are particular essential for those over the age of 50 years, and in this case should be performed every year. Having a complete blood count, an electrocardiogram (ECG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and an exercise stress test to determine the state of the heart is recommended for this age group.

For those between the ages of 40 and 50 years, it is recommended you have a health check every couple of years, while those under 40 years should have one every three years. Having a health check too regularly for the sake of it is not warranted, unless you think there is cause for concern.

The best hospitals for having health checks in Bangkok are Bumrungrad International, Bangkok General, and Samitivej. These three are the top medical centres in Thailand and come with expert, English speaking doctors and nurses, state-of-the-art equipment, and a whole host of medical packages for health checks.

Having health checks in Bangkok is a gratifying experience as you are dealt with the utmost respect and hospitality. The attention you receive from the expert physicians down to the medical staff in general is second to none and everything is done with a smile.
