Medical Tourism of Thailand

Medical tourism refers to international travel for the purpose of receiving medical care. Many patients engage in medical tourism because the procedures they seek can be performed in other countries at relatively low cost. In addition, some patients travel to specific destinations to undergo procedures that are not available in their home country.

Why is Thailand the Best Place for Medical Tourism?

Thailand is able to dominate medical tourism thanks to its competitive low cost of medical care, high-quality treatment, and well-established tourism industry. There are over 1,000 hospitals in Thailand, of which over 500 are private facilities.
