A colonoscopy is a screening procedure that uses a flexible camera to examine the inside of your large intestine (colon) and rectum. It is the most effective screening test for colorectal cancer, polyps and other digestive conditions as early as possible.
Doing your colonoscopy at one of Thailand's top medical hospitals means you still get the same technology as found in the top hospitals across the US and Europe, while paying a lower price. Thai hospitals offer transparent pricing that include everything from sedation to doctor consultation fees and the procedure can be scheduled in a manner of days.
This guide covers everything you would want to know about doing your colonoscopy in Thailand, covering costs, hospitals and technology used.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.
All prices are in USD, unless otherwise indicated.
A colonoscopy is a procedure where a gastroenterologist inserts a thin, flexible tube with a camera (called a colonoscope) through the rectum to examine the entire length of the large intestine. It's the most accurate way to screen for colorectal cancer and detect precancerous polyps before they become a problem. The procedure itself takes 20 to 45 minutes and you'll be sedated during the procedure, so you won't feel anything while the exam takes place.
If the doctor finds any polyps (small growths on the lining of your colon), they will usually remove them on the spot if they are smaller than 1 cm. Polyps larger than that size will be documented during the exam and the gastroenterologist will discuss the findings after the screening and recommendations for how to best remove the larger polyps.
Some patients opt to do a gastroscopy (upper endoscopy) at the same time while they are already sedated for the colonoscopy. Doing both procedures at the same time is more efficient because you only need to prepare your bowels and undergo sedation once. Many hospitals offer combo packages that cover both procedures in a single session so that the doctor can also examine your esophagus, stomach, and upper intestine and rule out any conditions in the whole system instead of just the colon area.
Who Should Get a colonoscopy?
If you are at average risk, current guidelines recommend routine screening colonoscopies starting at age 45 and then a repeat screening every 5 to 10 years.
However, If you have family history of colorectal cancer or a personal history of inflammatory bowel diseases, like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, or any symptoms that could indicate inflammation like blood in your stool or unexplained abdominal pain, more regular screening is recommended.
Our clients choose to do their colonoscopy in Thailand for a variety of reasons. For many of them it is cheaper to do the procedure in Thailand than in their home country but there are also other reasons unrelated to just cost. Many other countries have lengthy waiting lists or require a specialist referral to do a colonoscopy which is not the case in Thailand, your colonoscopy in Thailand can be scheduled in a manner of days and there is no referral required to consult with a gastroenterologist. Is is also very easy to combine with your holiday or to combine with a full health check-up to make the most of your visit.
The second main reason is the quality of private healthcare in Thailand. Not only is it cheaper and faster, you don't have to sacrifice quality of treatment at all. We work with JCI-accredited hospitals and gastroenterologists who are a member of bodies like the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and have Thai and American board certifications and international training.
Here's what a colonoscopy costs at our partner hospitals in Bangkok. Prices reflect screening colonoscopy packages. Actual costs may vary based on your specific situation, and additional charges may apply for polyp removal, biopsies, or if general anesthesia is required.
Colonoscopy package: starts at 27,900 THB (~$780 USD)
Bumrungrad charges more premium prices but has been ranked the #1 hospital in Thailand for many years in a row, including being the first Thai hospital to achieve JCI-accreditation (2002) and Global Healthcare Accreditation (2017).
Bumrungrad's Digestive Disease (GI) Center is the first in Southeast Asia to receive recognition from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). That's a distinction only a handful of facilities outside the US hold. Their published quality metrics back it up: an adenoma detection rate (ADR) of 33% (the international benchmark is 25% or higher), a cecal intubation rate of 99.5% (benchmark: 95%), and a 0% complication rate.
The package includes the procedure with IV sedation, specialist fees, and hospital service charges. Polyp removal and biopsy costs are separate if needed.

A screening colonoscopy at our partner hospitals in Bangkok costs $500 to $800, depending on the hospital and whether you choose moderate sedation or general anesthesia. A gastroscopy + colonoscopy combo runs $1,000 to $1,100. These prices typically include the procedure, specialist fees, sedation, and hospital charges. Polyp removal and biopsies are usually extra. Contact Konkai for a personalized quote based on your preferred hospital.
Most patients need 3 to 4 days in total: one day to arrive and consult, one day for bowel prep, and one day for the procedure. You can fly home the day after your colonoscopy in most cases. Many patients extend their stay to combine the trip with a health check-up or holiday.
Yes. Our partner hospitals hold JCI accreditation or equivalent international certifications. Bumrungrad's GI center is the only one in Southeast Asia recognized by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), and several hospitals use AI-assisted detection technology. Complication rates at these facilities match or beat international benchmarks. All procedures are performed by board-certified gastroenterologists.
It depends on your policy. Some international health insurance plans and expat policies cover procedures at accredited Thai hospitals. Contact your insurer to check if your plan covers outpatient procedures abroad. Several of our partner hospitals work directly with international insurance companies for cashless billing. Konkai Health can help you check coverage options if you want to check if the hospital is in the network of your insurance provider.

No. You don't need a doctor's referral to book a colonoscopy at a private hospital in Thailand. You can contact Konkai directly and we'll coordinate everything. If you have previous medical records or test results that are relevant, bring them along so the gastroenterologist has full context.
Pam and Konkai Health were absolute rock stars in helping us find a fantastic surgeon for my boyfriend's hip replacement in Thailand. We had previously paid for a service to help us find a doctor and it was just throwing money away. The paid service was slow to respond and only offered us quotes for the most expensive hospitals.
Pam on the other hand was a completely free service and was always quick to reply, patient with all of our questions, and presented a variety of options in our price range. She made the entire process of finding a doctor, setting up video conferences, and scheduling the surgery extremely easy. She continued to help us even after the surgery had taken place with follow up visits and final questions we had before traveling back home. We cannot recommend her highly enough!!! We will definitely be using her again for our next surgical needs.
Many thanks to Konkai. After an online inquiry Konkai guided me to Praram9 orthopedic for a consultation on a hip injury. I had the consultation, clearly a femeral head collapse and needing the hip joint replacement. The beauty was in a half day full consultation, x-ray, ekg, blood work, chest exam ... everything needed to proceed with surgery was done.
This was so professionally and efficiently done, all questions answered, no consultants, no referrals etc., all in house, all guided around the hospital. A friendly caring class act. So I then came back to Konkai to setup for the operation, with the same orthopedic team led by Dr. Peerapong that made the assessment. I returned 2 weeks later, admitted, had the replacement operation stayed 5 days with the hospital team, and quite frankly, it was a privilege to be in their care.
Now after 10 days recovery in Bangkok i am ready to return home. Why Thailand, well in my country New Zealand, you get passed around to specialists, consultants, it all takes time, does not engender trust, and i think the profit motive is primary like the American system. Further, there are less facilities so more waiting for slots. Thailand has a care culture, and the expertise and professionalism with Konkai and Praram9 is superb. They have top quality facilities and capacity to fit your schedule.
If i ever need any major surgery, this will be my first stop. Thanks again
Outstanding. The most safe, amazing communication these past couple of months with Pam from Konkai health. I asked soooo many questions there must be around 80+ emails from me and every single one has been replied in full. Even now 2 weeks after surgery. Super professional, and the surgeon Dr Thawatchai Boonpadhanapong, at Yanhee Hospital that Pam recommended to me for a breast implant removal, were just incredible. No money deposits asked for…just pure care.
The service and systems at Yanhee were out the gate. I am so glad I travelled all that way and didn’t do it in New Zealand as I don’t think it would’ve been as good haha. I was so looked after by the amazing nurses, anaesthetist, Dr Thawatchai and my interpreter Mr Wing. It’s overwhelming looking for the right fit and if it wasn’t for Konkai Health and Pam I wouldn’t be feeling as happy as I am now 2 weeks after my surgery. I cannot thank you enough for what feels like a life transformation :)
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
Pam from Konkai just made the right match for my plastic surgery, not only did it make me safe time, but the chosen doctor was just exceeding my expectations! Thank you so muxh 🙏🏼
I highly recommend their expertise and thankful for having been a patient at Yanhee hospital! …
Konkai Health helped me with my search to find affordable service for my rotary cuff repair. Told them my price range and gave me options for hospitals. Helped with every step of the process from consultation with physician to surgery to after care if needed. I highly recommend if you're an expat or visiting and you need medical services reach out to this organization.
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
Was confused as to where to get good Medical Services in Thailand. This company was very responsive and helpful.
They directed me to a very reputable local Hospital where I was treated by a Doctor with great reviews.
Also, the cost for the procedure was very reasonable and a fraction of what it would cost me in the US.
I would highly recommend this company to others. 🙏♥️🙏
I came to Thailand from America for a liposuction in last week. In a Google search, back in May, I came across Konkai Health and decided to reach out to them.For my surgery Pam, recommended Rattinan Clinic out of Bangkok. Pam was able to connect me with the clinic to set up a consultation. The process was very easy.I recommend Konkai Health and Rattinan Clinic. Both are 10/10
