Susco Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) As we all know that two tiered pricing is applied in Thailand, however Thai government ruled against it lately, it is still practised. So let's have a thread that calls out these places, so that we all can vote with our feet. Let's start with N-Health, which is a test laboratory with branches all over Thailand. N-Health is from the same group as Bangkok hospital, so the discriminating pricing should have been no surprise.

Antonymous Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Interesting response from N-Health. That's a real 'gotcha'. Just as an aside, I've been paying 1,000 baht for PSA tests at an independent clinic in Chiang Mai for the past five years. Their prices are listed in Thai and this isn't a foreigner price. So 850 baht is cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya Lifecare Laboratory PSA test 700 Baht - Blood glucose test 50 Baht Take note the pricelist image N-Health posted is also in Thai, so because it's in Thai language doesn't mean Thais don't get a different price But since this thread is not for the purpose of discussing blood test prices, please keep it clean of irrelevant posts, and post your experiences with places that practise two tiered pricing.

NanLaew Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 ^ What part of "in bid to end" and "ending the practice" and "in discussions" suggests to you that dual-pricing is now proscribed here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
