Back in jul. '04. I suffered from a slight tingle in my winkle when I tinkled, so I betook myself to -
SURAWONGSE MEDICAL CENTRE,
37/4-5, Surawongse plaza - off S'wong. rd.,
Bangrak, BKK., 10500.
- hrs. of attendance: 08-30 to 22.oo., NOT week-ends;
- contact: tel.: (02)-235 2662-64..
NB. The Med. Cntr. is on the opp. side of S'wong. rd. to the 'Montein Htl.'; above and across the soi is a large arch: 'Wall Street Inn.' - SMC. is a few yds. IN on one's RHS..
The Dr. usually comes-in around 10.30hrs., but if one checks-in earlier the staff at reception will advise one of his ETA..
I had three swabs, (thoracic, anal & urethral.), plus four vials of blood drawn for HIV./AIDS., STDs./STIs. & Hep..

I don't have the original billing but seem to remember a total cost of around 3K.Bh..
When I was in BCH's. PEU. I chatted with the good lady while awaiting the results of my blood samples. I told her about SMC. and the tests that I had undergone - she nodded her head approvingly and commented that SMC. seemed to be quite thorough in its testing.
Checking more recently SMC. stocks drugs for HIV. patients; the cost of wch. would depend upon the Dr's. prescription, but off-the- cuff suggestions were about 15+K.Bh. per mensem, (somewhat more expensive than the BCH's. PEU. estimate!),; but you pays yer bill and takes yer medicine, like a man - ha!
'bye.
