Over the last decade the health care industry in Thailand has evolved
into one of the world's most advanced sources of medical treatment of
all kinds. Thai medical schools produce doctors and nurses that meet
high international standards. Many receive additional training in Europe
or the United States. Thai hospitals are among the first in the world to
employ the newest, most
cutting-edge equipment and techniques. Thai
hospitals are probably also the most luxurious in the world.
The big
difference between health care in Thailand and other parts of the world
is the price tag. Costs in Thailand are a fraction of what they are in
Europe, North America and Australia and many hospitals even publish
their prices. For inpatients, the unbelievably low nurse-to-patient
ratio means better care.
What does this mean to you? If you need health care of any kind and
are not covered by insurance or want elective procedures that are not
covered by insurance, consider Thailand as an option. In many cases
Thailand's low costs allow you to save enough to pay for a great holiday in the Land of Smiles. Who
would not want to recover in in style and comfort?
The purpose of the information presented here is to give our
customers the benefit of the research we have already done. For the past
several years we have often
been asked about health care by numerous guests. So we decided to present
the same information for everyone who is interested in it. Although we
are not medical experts, we live and work here and use many of these
health care resources ourselves. One of the reasons so many foreigners
choose to retire here is the great health care.
Hospitals and clinics in Thailand
normally pay us a small fee for
referrals, so we would be grateful if you tell them we referred you.
More important to us is the opportunity to take care of the other
details of your visit--hotel accommodations, transportation and other
travel services. We want to help you recover in style.
Before you view any of the choices shown in the right column there
are a few things you should know. First of all, nothing printed here
should be considered medical advice. Advice can come only from the
doctors, dentists, hospitals, and clinics we suggest that you consider.
We can not quote costs and do not want to know about or become involved
in the details of your health care in any way. All of the hospitals and
other facilities we recommend here have signed agreements with us to protect the
privacy of people who use the referrals on our website and to keep information
confidential.
These recommendations are our opinions based and are based on extensive research
and personal experience. Obviously some will disagree with us--particularly
those who were not recommended. We regret that we can make no comment about any
doctor, clinic, hospital or any other facility that is not mentioned here.
