Yikes!

I wouldn't advise going to Thailand for medical treatment*.

*No offence to the people of Thailand.


I have had a number of surgeries in Thailand and the treatment was professional by English-speaking doctors.

Most of the English-speaking doctors have had training and education in Australia and USA.

On one occasion, a Thai doctor instantly diagnosed a condition from description of the symptoms that doctors in Perth and several days of tests in Perth main hospitals failed to diagnose 5 years earlier.


Bumrungrad hospital in BKK would be better in just about every way then most Australian hospitals.

Health care in Thailand is actually pretty good, even the public system.

I ended up in a small provincial clinic and while the lodgings were 'basic' the medical care was perfect.

The fact is we nearly all pay the medicare levy and private health insurance and
yet many people are still having to go to Thailand to get help.

You shouldn't have to pay twice for something.
