The full-body checkup, priced honestly — three countries, all-in
Thailand made the health checkup famous. Colombia made it a long weekend. We compare the same packages across the US, Thailand, and Colombia — including flights, hotels, and days off work — so the math decides, not the marketing.
Comprehensive package (consults, full labs, imaging, cardiac screening) + round-trip economy flight + hotel. Typical 2026 ranges, not quotes.

| Round-trip flight | — | $900–$1,400 | $250–$450 |
| Flight time | — | ~20–24 hrs (1–2 stops) | ~3.5 hrs nonstop |

| Typical all-in | $2,500–$5,000 | $1,700–$3,100 | $900–$2,000 |
Different departure city? The math shifts — run it for yours. Full tables for basic and comprehensive tiers on the costs page.
Bangkok's hospitals are world-class. They are also on the other side of the planet. Typical door-to-door travel time, US East Coast departure:
Same hemisphere means something else too: Medellín is on US Eastern Time (or one hour off, depending on daylight saving). You land without jet lag, test in the morning, and review results the same afternoon.
Credit where due: Thailand has run the medical-tourism playbook for decades. Its flagship Bangkok hospitals offer hotel-grade international patient floors, dozens of language desks, and checkup packages polished by millions of visitors. If you live in Asia, Australia, or the Gulf, Thailand is probably your answer — and our Thailand guide says so without hedging. This site exists for the rest of the map: if you're starting from the Americas, the same quality of medicine is 3–6 hours away instead of 20+.
We're based in Medellín — same time zone as you, English-speaking, and able to point you to the right hospital package for what you actually want screened.
