Thank you, really appreciated!

It is likely a post infectious irritabile bowel syndrome as a result of an acute gastroenteritis I had more than 8 months ago which I've never fully recovered from. But as I was told by Dr Thanawat I need colonoscopy and gastroscopy to rule out other possibilities (Crohn disease, bowel cancer, or other).

Well, it's good to know I'm in good hands at least. I actually wanted to make an appointment with Prof. Smochai Leelakusolvong but the first available date was in February 2024. I've also asked about Assist. Prof. Uayporn Kaosombatwattana but I'd have to wait until December. Any thoughts about Ramathibodi or Chula or Bhumibol hospitals? You seem to know really a lot!

I have an appointment for a colonoscopy plus gastroscopy at Piyamaharajkarun Hospital (Siriraj) in a couple of weeks. As an estimate I've got 44000-50000 Baht all included. There are possible extras like 12000 for a biopsy. I don't remember the price for polyp removal... I thought that hospital would be cheaper, since it's part of Siriraj but after reading this thread I'm not so sure anymore. Any recommendations? Does anyone have any experience with Dr. Thanawat? I've had a very positive impression as he listened very carefully to all I had to say and scrupulously explained everything to me but that's all I know.
