Thailand Guides - Medical Tourism

Recently supported by the government, Thailand’s medical industry has been widely known for many years to provide the most reliable and cost effective medical services in Asia. As the result, many hospitals have invested in cutting edge technology and improved their medical personnel to cater for foreign customers from all over the world.

Indeed, Thailand has had a reputation for providing medical treatments for western expatriates across Southeast Asia. Many of them work for international corporations and have the advantage of flexible, worldwide medical insurance plans. Having achieved ISO 9001 accreditation, many private hospitals here offer a myriad of medical services ranging from thorough medical checkup and orthodontics to cosmetic surgery and neurological disease treatment. Simultaneously most of the doctors in these hospitals have impressive credentials from the best medical schools from Thailand, America, Germany, Australia and England. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is its medical fees which are considerably lower than what it costs in western countries. Coupled with state-of-the-art equipments and Thai hospitality, many hospitals in Bangkok have seen a steady increase in the number of foreign patients.
