CLW Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I am assuming I had Covid-19 in a very mild case already last year when the first incidents popped up. Does anyone know about a hospital / clinic in BKK for an antibody test? I searched and just found this one clinic in Chiang Mai, the cost with 1395 THB is reasonable. https://www.cmmediclinic.com/coronavirus-covid-19-testing.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I had it done at Medconsult clinic https://www.medconsultasia.com/contact A little under 1,000 baht Be aware that even with the more reliable lab test (as opposed to the rapid test on the spot) there is about a 15% risk of a false negative, i.e. if you test negative there is still a chance you actually have antibodies Also COVID antibodies do not last indefinitely and even if you had them 6 months ago might not have any detectable antibodies now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this article this morning and reasoned that having an antibody test really isn't worth the trouble. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-54696873 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
