Information for you all:

Today I did a medical clearance for my work permit at Bumrungrad. From start to finish I was done in one hour and 15 minutes for 675 baht.

They asked if I needed a Covid test. I said no. End of conversation. They never tried to sell me on it or say it was compulsory.

Next week I’ll be renewing my Non O visa at CW. I’ll let you know then if they say anything about Covid requirements.

that’s Bumrungrad for ya. Definitely not the cheap option. But I’m not paying for it so I wasn’t too concerned about the cost.
