WaveHunter Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I know there are quite a few place to get blood tests in CM but clinics and hospitals can be slow and expensive. Please recommend a good, inexpensive lab in the Neimann or Chiang Mai University area; preferably with the name and a google map link, not the usual ThaiVisa descriptions people post like "go 100 meters past the so and so landmark, turn left, then first right and it's next to the place that used to be the bla-bla-bla store LOL). I used to live over on the other side of town by the Ping River and there is a lab there that is highly recommended (CMF Lab). They have a published price list for all tests on their website for anyone interested. I am just looking for something similar closer to where I now live, so if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

flare Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Not in the area you're looking for, but I'll put it here in case anyone is interested- BT Labs is good and fast- they're in Mae Hia Market, two shops to the right of Pancake House.

This is the lab I said I used in the past. Second of all, my pet peeve on ThaiVisa is people leaving narrative directions when it's just as easy and infinitely more helpful to provide a Google map Link (as I did for CMF in my post). The only clue you provide is that the lab is near the Express Hotel. Well, there is no "Express Hotel" listed on Google for Chiang Mai. I'm guessing you probably meant the EMPRESS hotel but there are several hotels with the name Empress in them, and since the lab only refers to itself as ซีเอ็มเอฟ แล็บ คลินิก, trying to find the lab with only the clue that it was nearby would be fruitless, especially for someone who can't read Thai. THUS, the helpfulness of using Google Map links when describing a location. I wish more people on ThaiVisa would use this excellent resource. Nonetheless, thanks for your response.

No it is not just as easy for those who do not use Google maps for anything. Like me and many of my friends. We have no need for it. So anyone who provides a Google map link to us is not being helpful at all let alone being infinitely more helpful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you might consider joining the 21st century. For a farang In a city like Chiang Mai it's very difficult to navigate to a location when somebody tries to describe it using local knowledge. Contrarily, with a Google Map link and a smart phone it's remarkably easy. You should try it maybe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I should try it and then I could be one of those idiots following a line on a screen between two pin drops without any knowledge of where they are or what they could have seen. No local knowledge, not even enough to get from one place to another, if that is your 21st Century, you can have it, it is of no interest to me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMoldie Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Depends on what you want done. The Red Cross clinic is fast and cheap, but they focus mostly on STD testing. They also do liver and kidney function and cholesterol. https://goo.gl/maps/FaU8BJFrsJKaAoZp8 Edited January 28, 2020 by CMoldie to insert link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post elektrified Posted January 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2020 Many people don't understand that many of these labs around town are not accredited by the government (calibration and accuracy of test instruments, etc.). Many of these places have not had their equipment calibrated in 5+ years and a report that was published a couple of years ago showed that many were off by as much as 30%. If you go to some of these cheap places to try and save money, when and if you consult a reputable physician/surgeon and present these results - they will not entertain them and tell you that you will need to take them again. So it will end up costing you more in the end. All reputable labs display the certificates in the reception area - or you could ask if they are accredited. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It woild be interesting to know if an expat has to use their services through the Sriphat gateway, and/or if there are higher prices for expats.

Sorry if my tone offended you but your reply illustrated exactly why I don't like "old school" narrative directions...because you got them wrong! (saying it was near a hotel that doesn't even exist in Chiang Mai!) Since YOU know where the place is, it is so easy to simply open Google maps, find it and click the button to "share" the link in your reply. What's so hard about that? Secondly, why would you even waste your time telling me about a place that I already clearly said I knew about in my post...and then get snippy with me two weeks later because I pointed that out LOL? You're a funny guy getting all huffy and puffy. That's OK though, I guess you have a problem reading a post before you reply, and just prefer the old school approach of giving confusing and incorrect directions. Each to his own, I guess ????

Actually the OP has a valid point as well as a good solution to the issue. i agree with him. Whenever someone asks for directions to a place I either provide a Google link or a set of GPS numbers. And thanks for the posts @WaveHunter. I was about to write a similar question about labs but found this set of post which answer my questions. I don't want to deal with hospitals or doctors. I know the set of blood tests I want done and rather not waste the extra time and expense having to consult with a doctor when I can just order what I need directly at a lab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
