[quote]They are fairly expensive but this tends to come from the extras rather than the doctor fees which are quite reasonable. Usually prescribe too many and too expensive medicines.[/quote]

This pretty much mirrors the practice in the better private hospitals in Bangkok. I've used Bangkok General a number of times, including surgery. You can visit a specialist for a consult for 1000 bht, but there ends up being a 300 to 400% markup on any prescriptions which you have to fill with the hospital pharmancy. I've often wondered if you could just have the doc write you a script and fill it at an outside pharmacy. I doubt they'd agree, as I think a great deal of their profit margin depends on the inflated price of the meds.

i'm sure one of the other k440 memberz did it for free :?

[quote="SunSan"]3 years ago a night at the Angkor International in SR (sister- hospital of the Ratanak) cost 258USD per night. I don't think it has changed much since then.[/quote]

3 years ago a night at the Angkor International in SR (sister- hospital of the Ratanak) cost 258USD per night. I don't think it has changed much since then.

The cost of medicine in Cambodia has tripled in the last few years. 3 years ago one could get a new mitrol valve replacement for 2,000 dollars. That included all pre-op expense, the surgeons fee (leading cardiologist in Cambodia) hospital stay and post-op care for six months including all medicine. Today having a child can cost you 2,000 dollars.

We also had a son there 1 year ago.Very good but expensive. I think from memory it was close to $2000 with room and everything but room was like a hotel and had one extra bed for me etc.

If you are refering to Tongsin Hospital , I have been treated by them and found them to be reasonable, the original doc is not there any more though .

you could try the chinese hospital --they let you smoke in there

It's worth $50 just to see him in his safari suit.

And worth every penny, Gavin is exceptionally well qualified and experienced, not too mention a gentleman and a scholar. Is kind to his dear old mum, helps grannies across the street and plays a mean saxophone.

Do you know what he charges for a visit? Also, does anyone have a clue as to what the charges for typical vaccines are through him or through another place??[/quote]

Thanks for the 'visit' charge. I've heard it only costs $25 to visit Royal Vattanak, and I've heard good things about it, both here on k440 and from friends living here in PP. No offense to Dr. Scot but it seems I don't need to pay a lot extra for a Western doctor because I'm just getting some booster shots. If I ever need help with some STDs/STIs I might shell out the extra bucks for Dr. Scot's expertise, but Royal Rattanak seems like a legit Thai-standard hospital to me. I'll be sure to post where I go and how much it costs so other people in the future will know where/how much/how to get their routine jabs......
