Try a different hospital or even a private hospital. I got xrays and pain meds for around 1000tbh (30$) when I was there.

I don't know about blood work but I used to train a bunch of Thai soldiers and when we were in the field and anyone got injured their remedy was always a glass of liquor with some kind of stick in it. Funny stuff.

Thanks for the replies, yea I thought the price was high, I'll start looking elsewhere.

Anyone got any recommendations of clinics in Bangkok for blood tests?
