If you'd rather not deal with it
We handle the full document set - this one included - for 1,500 ฿, as part of a driving license application. Doing it yourself costs about 600 ฿ in fees plus a trip to Immigration. The difference is your time.

FAQ
Specific questions.
What does the check involve?
A short, routine health check. It is not an eye test or a fitness assessment in any strenuous sense.
Do I need an appointment?
Most clinics don't require one.
How long is it valid?
Thirty days from the date it is issued.
Can I use a certificate from my own country?
No - it needs to be issued by a clinic in Thailand for the application to accept it.
Does my insurance cover it?
That depends on your policy. At around 100 ฿, most people simply pay for it directly.
