About health check-up

A health check-up is a set of tests in one visit: a doctor's examination, blood and urine tests, and often a chest X-ray and a heart tracing (EKG). Bangkok private hospitals sell it as fixed packages, chosen by age and sex.

Larger packages add an abdominal ultrasound, an exercise stress test, thyroid tests, tumour-marker blood tests, an eye examination or, for women, a mammogram and a Pap test.

Techniques and approaches

The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.

Basic package

Blood count, blood sugar, cholesterol, kidney and liver tests, a urine test, a chest X-ray and a doctor's examination; some also include an EKG.

Middle package

Adds tests such as HbA1c, thyroid function and an abdominal ultrasound, aimed at people from about 30 to 40 and over.

Comprehensive package

Adds heart tests such as an exercise stress test, tumour-marker blood tests and an eye examination, aimed at people over 40, 50 or 60.

The decisions you will make

These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.

Which package

Hospitals set packages by age and sex. Compare the test lists, not only the price.

Who the price is for

One hospital's packages are for Thai citizens and foreigners working or married in Thailand only. Ask what a visitor pays.

Fasting

Three hospitals ask you not to eat for 6 to 12 hours before; two say plain water is allowed.

What the trip involves

Clinics vary, and your clinician’s plan overrides anything on this page. The shape is consistent.

  1. 1Before you fly

    Choose the package and book a date. Some packages are bought online as an e-voucher.

  2. 2The night before

    Three hospitals ask you not to eat for 6 to 12 hours before; two say plain water is allowed.

  3. 3The check-up

    One hospital says 1 to 2 hours for a basic package and up to 4 hours for the larger ones; another says 3 to 6 hours.

  4. 4Results

    Two hospitals give a printed results book. Ask when a doctor will go through the results with you.

  5. 5Missed tests

    One hospital lets you come back within two weeks for a test you could not do on the day.

  6. 6Afterwards

    Take the results home to your own doctor, and ask the hospital for a copy you can share.

Ask these before you pay a deposit

Formatted as a numbered list, ready to email a clinic.
  1. Who is treating me, and what are their qualifications?

    A clinic name is not a clinician. Ask for the individual, their registration, and how often they do this procedure.

  2. What is included in the price, and what is not?

    Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.

  3. Is the deposit refundable, and under what conditions?

    Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.

  4. What if it needs correcting?

    Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.

  5. Who do I contact after I go home, and in what language?

    A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.

Is the price on this page a quote?

Three hospitals ask you to fast for 6 to 12 hours, depending on the hospital. Two allow plain water.

How long does it take?

From 1 to 2 hours for a basic package to 4 to 6 hours for a comprehensive one, at two hospitals.

Can a visitor get these prices?

One hospital's packages are for Thai citizens and foreigners working or married in Thailand only. The other four hospitals state no such limit.

Is the doctor's fee included?

At three hospitals, yes. One says its packages exclude doctor fees if other specialists are needed.
