A gastroscopy (also called an upper GI endoscopy or EGD) is a procedure where a doctor passes a thin, flexible tube with a camera down your throat to examine your esophagus, stomach, and the first part of your small intestine. It's used to diagnose conditions like acid reflux, ulcers, H. pylori infections, and early-stage stomach cancer.
This guide covers gastroscopy costs at our partner hospitals in Bangkok, what the procedure involves, how to combine it with a colonoscopy in the same session, and how to plan your visit.
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.
People choose to do their gastroscopy in Thailand for multiple reasons
During a gastroscopy, your gastroenterologist (a doctor who is specialized in diagnosing and treating disorders of the digestive system) will insert a thin, flexible tube that is fitted with a small camera and a light at the end into your throat. The images from the camera are displayed on a monitor so that the doctor can inspect every area of your upper digestive tract in detail.
The procedure focuses on three areas: the esophagus (the tube that carries food from your throat to your stomach), the stomach itself, and the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). During the exam, the doctor can also take tissue samples (biopsies) for lab testing, check for H. pylori bacteria, identify ulcers, detect inflammation, and spot early signs of cancer. Small polyps or abnormalities can sometimes be removed on during the gastroscopy, which means you don't need to schedule a follow-up procedure.
Most patients choose to be sedated through an IV during the procedure, so you feel drowsy and relaxed but are not completely unconscious. However, you can also choose a throat spray that numbs the back of your throat or deeper sedation under the supervision from an anasthesiologist if you prefer to be fully asleep while the gastroscope takes place.
The whole procedure takes between 15 and 30 minutes and does not cause any pain during or after the procedure. In case you chose the throat spray over sedation, you might feel some pressure or mild gag reflex while the tube is inserted into your throat
Who Should Get a Gastroscopy?
A gastroscopy is recommend for people who have persistent heartburn or acid reflux that does not improve with medication. It is also recommend if you experience difficulty swallowing, nausea or vomiting (unexplained), pain in your upper abdomen or unexplained weight loss.
It is also recommended for high risk groups, those with a family history or genetic predisposition for stomach cancer.

The two procedures are commonly done together in a single session. This is called a gastroscopy + colonoscopy combo (or "combo endoscopy"). Since the bowel preparation required for a colonoscopy is the most demanding part of the process, adding a gastroscopy to the same session requires very little extra effort from the patient. You'll already be fasting and sedated, so the gastroscopy adds only about 15 minutes to the total procedure time.
If you're over 40 and getting a colonoscopy for screening, it's worth considering the combo. The price difference between a standalone colonoscopy and a combo is typically 10,000 to 15,000 THB ($320 to $480), which gets you a thorough examination of your entire digestive tract in one visit.

Yes. Our partner hospitals hold JCI accreditation or equivalent international certifications and use the same endoscopic equipment found in leading Western hospitals. Gastroenterologists are board-certified, and many are trained internationally.

No. You don't need a doctor's referral to book a gastroscopy at a private hospital in Thailand. You can contact Konkai directly and we'll coordinate everything, including the pre-procedure consultation with a gastroenterologist.
For a standalone gastroscopy, most patients can fly home the next day. If you had biopsies taken and want to wait for results in person, plan to stay 3 to 5 extra days. Many patients choose to receive biopsy results by email after returning home. If you had a combined gastroscopy + colonoscopy, you can typically fly home 1 to 2 days after the procedure.
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
