MRI at Bumrungrad?
context: I had a seizure a… According to google it's about 850 USD. Does anybody know how much total costs are, assuming I have to see a doctor? Is the cost worth it, or are all MRI machines the same?
context: I had a seizure a few days ago and I'm just as confused as you are. We're really hoping it was a one time thing, but it needs to be checked out.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
850 USD with a doctor consult sounds about right for Bumrungrad, but that's just the MRI itself. You'll also pay for the initial neurologist consultation which runs around 150-200 USD, plus maybe another 100 for the radiologist's report. So you're looking at roughly 1,100-1,200 USD total.
For what it's worth, I had a friend with a similar scare go to Bangkok Hospital instead. Same quality machine, slightly less polished English, but the total came to about 900 USD including everything. Bumrungrad is overpriced for what it is, but if you're stressed and want it done in one afternoon without thinking about logistics, it's the easiest option.
Yeah that 850 USD ballpark sounds about right for an MRI with a doctor consult at Bumrungrad. Honestly, most MRI machines are the same brand and quality in big hospitals here, so you could save a ton by going to a public hospital like King Chulalongkorn or Siriraj, but wait times might be longer and you'd need a referral. If you're worried about the seizure, Bumrungrad's convenience and English-speaking staff might be worth the premium just to get it sorted fast.
You're in a tough spot, that's stressful. If you want a solid middle ground between Bumrungrad's price and a public hospital wait, try Bangkok Christian Hospital right on Silom Road. I've had an MRI there before and the neurologist consult plus the scan ran me about 650 USD total, and they speak English well enough. Their machine is a Siemens, same as what Bumrungrad uses. The only catch is they're a bit old-school with scheduling, so call ahead and ask for an appointment rather than walking in.
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
