There's a blood lab with a full list of tests in Saphan Kwai too, on Pradipat Road, about 10 min walk from the BTS. I've used them a few times, just walked in and request the tests. I have not used them in 2020 though, so Covid protocols might mean an appointed time now.
Thanks for that, much appreciated.

I guess it might just be a matter of bookkeeping as to what is or is not included... I think in some places they itemize too much... 30 baht for gloves, etc... and you end up with a long list.. I think almost everywhere I go they check BP - probably a good thing for them to know... and they all know abt white coat syndrome... just go in expecting charges - - they have to stay in business too..
So do I, and silly charges for unnecessary things is not part of that plan ????

The checking of blood pressure has nothing to do with the "nursing charge" on bills at hospital outpatient departments. That is a fee for use of the hospital (the doctor fee goes directly to the doctor) . In Thai the word for "nurse" and "hospital" are interchangeable. It is one of those expat myths that the reason for the charge has anything to do with whether or nto your vital signs are checked.
OP in Bangkok 2 good options:
Bria Labs (Lard Prao area, a back soi and a little hard to find -there are 2 buildings a few blocks apart and the one that draws blood is not the one showing in google maps)

RSU Health - on Sukhumvit at the corner of Soi 31.
https://rsuhealth.com/rsu-medical-center-en/
Although it is more than just a lab (offering complete physicals and medical consultations) I have been able to walk in and just get labs done, and they had quite an extensive list.
Both will email you the results if you like.
Sheryl, much appreciated. Have a great week ????

many places - checking bp is normal and probably no charge... but of course, if you want a recommendation of a place convenient to you, then you might want to state where you are....
Not sure where you go but many times all these little things are added to the bill, I refused one time (I have white coat bp issues so no point in checking at a clinic) and the staff were shocked and didn´t know what to do, whispering amongst each other and looking at me like I was crazy. In the end it was on the bill anyway.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a lab or clinic that does blood work, urine testing etc where you don´t have to do the usual check blood pressure, talk to doctor and so on..? My friend is a doctor (not in Thailand) and I just need lab results reg hormones and organ function to show him.
Thank you.

Thanks for your reply ubonjoe, what concerns me (and what we have been told from both immigration and the accountant, very clearly) is that if they can see in our paperwork the next time I'm extending my non-b that there has been a period of social security and taxes not paid for an employee they will not give me an extension.

Hi all,
I'm running a small company with my gf where we have 4 Thai employees in order for me to get my WP, everything is running according to rules and regulations.
What I would like to know is what happens if one (or more) of my employees resigns and I have trouble filling the spot, how long before we have problems, is there a specific grace period or how does it work?
Any info appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks, I didn't think so but you can never be sure.

Like the title says, I leave for a month tomorrow and my reporting due date is the 7th, do I need to report or just get the re-entry permit at the airport when I leave?
Tried searching to no luck.
Thanks!
