Medical Tourism in Thailand
Thailand can offer a range of quality medical services for foreigners. A Thai hospital has been named one of the top 10 world medical destinations by Newsweek magazine.
Medical tourism in Thailand is so successful because many Thai hospitals offer a wide range of procedures.
To name just a few there are coronary artery bypass, spinal fusions, orthopedics, prostate surgery, gastric bypass and dialysis treatment.
Hip and knee replacements are also offered by many hospitals in Thailand.
There is also an abundance of dental, eye and cosmetic surgeries as well as annual check ups.
In Chonburi, which is 80km southeast of Bangkok there is a Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited hospital.

Medical tourism has been a growing segment of Thailand's tourism and health-care sectors.
Treatments for medical tourists in Thailand range from cosmetic, organ transplants, cardiac, and orthopaedic treatments to dental and cardiac surgeries. Treatments also include spa, physical and mental therapies.
One patient who had coronary artery bypass surgery at Bumrungrad International hospital in Bangkok said the operation cost him US$12,000 (8,200 euros), as opposed to the $100,000 (68,000 euros) he estimated the operation would have cost him at home.
Many Thai physicians hold US or UK professional certification.
The World Health Organization's 2000 ranking put the Thai healthcare system at number 47, below the USA's ranking at 37 and the United Kingdom's ranking at 18.
