A skytrain commuter or not, this weekend you can be examined by medical staff and find out how healthy or unhealthy you are, not at a hospital but the Sanam Pao BTS station. And it's free of charge.
The 11th ‘Sky Clinic’ offers free health check-ups at the Sanam Pao BTS station this Thursday to Sunday.
The BTS SkyTrain, in cooperation with leading hospitals and health institutes in Bangkok, are organising the 11th "Sky Clinic", which will provide free health check-ups at the Sanam Pao BTS station from 10am to 5pm on Thursday, and 9am to 4pm from Friday to Sunday.

These are diabetes, heart disease, cancer, eye disease, bones and joints, Thai traditional medicine and alternative medicine, liver disease and gynaecology.
