| Kaaya Wellness Bangkok Market Place Nanglinchee, 27, 27/1 Nanglinchee Road, Chongnonsri, Yannawa | $27฿90016 September 2026seller's price | kaayawellness.com Seller's own label: "Physiotherapist fee (<1 hour)". Unit: per session. From the 'Physiotherapy Services' table, whose column header is 'Price (THB)' and that header is the currency for every row beneath it. This is the THERAPIST'S TIME only: the modalities in the same table (ultrasound 500, electrical stimulation 500, shockwave 750, high power laser 900) are each charged on top, so a real visit costs more than 900. That is the scope risk against a home physiotherapy price, which is normally all-in. | |
| Le Physio Clinic Bangkok Interchange Building, Floor B2, Sukhumvit Road Soi 21 | $37฿1,20016 September 2026seller's price | lephysioclinic.com Seller's own label: "Standard Therapy, 50 minutes". Unit: per session (50 min). Table cell. The 'Physical Therapy' table has three columns, Type / Session / Price; this is the Price cell on the row whose Type is 'Standard Therapy' and whose Session is '50 minutes'. Thai decimal-point grouping: '1.200฿' means one thousand two hundred baht, not 1.2, and the baht sign is on the cell itself so no column header has to be carried down. This is the clinic's ordinary 50-minute physiotherapy treatment; the free 30-minute assessment is separate and not bundled into it. | |
| Behap Wellness Clinic Bangkok B1, Jasmine Building, Soi Sukhumvit 23, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana | $55฿1,80016 September 2026seller's price | behapwellness.com Seller's own label: "Sport Physicaltherapy, 60 minutes". Unit: per session (60 min). This is the clinic's only per-session physiotherapy price and it is branded 'Return to sport physical therapy'; the page says the session includes physical examination, myofascial release, stretching and strengthening, ultrasound and shockwave therapy, and hot or cold compression. So it is a full physiotherapy treatment session by our item's definition, but it is sold for sports injuries specifically and a general musculoskeletal patient might be routed to the shockwave line instead. The 45-minute version is 1,400 THB. Note the same string '1,800 THB / 1 Time' also appears on the page for radial shockwave, which is a DIFFERENT product, so the evidence string here must be the one ending '/ 60 minutes'. | |
| Pain Away Clinic Bangkok B1 Floor, Interchange 21 Tower Sukhumvit 21, Asoke | $64฿2,09016 September 2026seller's price | painawayclinic.com Seller's own label: "Treatment (60 Minutes)". Unit: per 60-minute session. The whole ladder is priced by time: 10 min 980, 30 min 1,290, 45 min 1,690, 60 min 2,090, 75 min 2,590, 90 min 3,090. Machines (shock wave, laser, B-SES, deep tissue, electrical stimulation, infrared) are charged on TOP of the treatment time, each on its own row, so this is hands-on time only. The page footnote says consultations after the first session are included in the treatment time, so a follow-up needs no separate consultation fee. Ten-session coupons bring 60 minutes down to 1,900 a session (19,000 for 10). | |

Unit: per session. A single modality, charged separately from the therapist's time. Our 'Electrotherapy' item comes from a Vietnamese physiotherapy tariff and is the same modality, but there it is typically one line of a public tariff rather than a private add-on, so the two are alike in substance and different in what else is bundled. | |

Unit: per session. A machine charged on top of the treatment time. Our 'Electrotherapy' item is the same modality from a Vietnamese physiotherapy tariff, where it is a tariff line rather than a private add-on. Kaaya Wellness charges the same 500 for it. |

Another add-on machine. Matches our 'Infrared' clinic item, again with the caveat that ours comes from a public tariff where it is usually part of a session rather than charged separately. |

| HealthDeliver Bangkok 45 Prasanmit Plaza Building, Soi Sukhumvit 23, Sukhumvit Road, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok | $15฿50016 September 2026seller's price | healthdeliver.asia Seller's own label: "An initial in-clinic consultation". Unit: per consultation (30 min). Note the stray spacing and the trailing 'health.' in the page's own text; the evidence string is quoted exactly as it renders. This is a FIXED figure, not a starting price: the sentence says the consultation costs 500 THB and names what is billed on top. The doctor list further down the same page confirms it per doctor ('Consultation Fee – ฿ 500.00', 'Consultation Duration – 30 min') and shows that one doctor charges 700 THB, so 500 is the standard and 700 the exception. Elsewhere the page hedges with 'Doctor Consultations Start From ฿500'; I have used the specific sentence rather than the hedge. For comparison MedConsult in this same slice charges 1,000 THB. | |
| MedConsult Clinic Bangkok Floor 3, Building 2 of The Racquet Club, Sukhumvit 49/9 Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea | $30฿1,00016 September 2026seller's price | medconsultasia.com Seller's own label: "standard doctor consultation". Unit: per consultation. The doctor's fee for a standard consultation at an international GP practice aimed at expats, so this is a private visitor price and not a subsidised tariff. Tests, drugs and procedures are billed on top. Baht sign before the number, no thousands separator. |
