in Turkey we have a lot of doctors studied in big universities like Yale University and Oxford University, you can’t get good diagnosis as in Turkey 🇹🇷
Yes you are right. I am in Australia but I went back to Thailand and tried to have my medical check up done as much as possible. It s getting harder to book but a lot cheaper than in Australia. I can say including your return tickets cost still cheper in many cases.
Back when i lived in Chiang Mai in 2018, my galpal who was Thai needed back surgery for a nagging injury... i convinced her to go to a hospital that a few friends had backsurgery and 1 hour after MRI, saw the doctor and he explained everything too her and suggested a certain type of surgery.. Instead of waiting months like we do, or years in the states.... he asked if she was ready to have surgery Tomorrow.... she ended up having it the next monday...Great success and price
Some of the best hospitals in the world. I had hernia surgery at pattaya international hospital. Consult, surgery and two days in the hospital total cost nine hundred dollars. In the states it would be about 50k. Plan on getting full dental implants soon. Great video chris.
I've had major surgery at Bumrungrad and it was great! Soon I will travel to Thailand and my first stop is Bumrungrad Hospital. It is so popular to go there from my country that patients from my country fill the waiting rooms.😄
@@robertlloyd3184 go search on in internet my friend, I have just a little time to find a link for you but atleast this link shown that Bumrungrad is the Top Ten hospital in the world in 2017.
Someone just suggested I think about Thailand for my hip surgery and I’m curious about your experience. Did you stay for a recovery time also? It seems too good to believe!
I like all your videos, but this one was extremely helpful to me. I have been thinking about getting a procedure done in Thailand - more the recovery part than anything else. The US can be really basic in the HMO hospitals but the Thai experience with after care hospitality and healing is world class.
Most of medical practitioners (md, surgeons, dentists, pharmacists etc.) are in the top 1% of the worker pyramid in Thailand. Lots of specialists graduated from North America or Europe so apart from some specific equipments, expertise and skills are at top notch (for private hospitals). The government has to subsidize the cost of medical care so it is accessible by its people so that's why it's very popular for the westerns. Our approach is a hybrid between US and EU, we have public healthcare system (lower QoS due to the number of patients) and private hospitals (better QoS and expensive for locals but considerably cheap for westerns).
This was an awesome video Chris & I know the information you have provided will be extremely helpful to a lot of people including myself & my husband! Thanks for being proactive for us and YES, we love videos like this every now and then:) We love you Chris 😘
I just started tuning into to your channel. I am considering semi retirement and started watching vloggs to get a better idea where to go to. I am going to Thailand in December, and find that your channel gives a more complete view of what Thailand has to offer. Great job. Oh, and I also loved the dog video.
Outstanding video Chris! This is great information for people who need or want procedures done without being raped by western corrupt medicine, especially the epitome of corruption, the US medical system. Please do additional videos on this topic. As usual, your video production is top notch.
Another great video Chris! Would love to see it through the eyes of a patient mate. Any chance for a future video with a couple different patients going through a procedure from arriving in Bangkok to recovery? Keep up the great work mate! Cheers 👍🏻🙏🏻👌🏻
Don't wait, come and work here, the big war is going to occur soon. But you are safe living here, come early and select best province you prefer. Prachubkirikhan, or Huahin are more quiet and don't worry about wifi, it is fast everywhere(5G)
Great job Chris! As an American healthcare worker I’m envious of the environment provided not only for the patients but also for the employees. So clean, affordable, classy, and no entitled abusive patients assaulting the staff.
LOL, that's what you think. The people who can afford medical tourism for the most part are the entitled privileged class. Just Thai culture is more patient, tolerant, and appeasing to patients.
Wow this is amazing! Up here in Can-a-der we have.... sort of free medical care (you pay through taxes). The largest problem here is a shortage of certain types of doctors and the wait times far exceed what they should.
Had rotator cuff surgery at Bumrungrad. Arrived at BKK airport 7am and got to Bumrungrad about 10am. That day met with the doctor, did all bloodwork, Xrays, MRI, etc, etc. Next morning at 0500am they were wheeling me into the operating room. Just fantastic professional service. And big bonus points.....lots of hot nurses:):)
I had my left knee replaced at Bumrungrad the end of 2017 after enduring three years of bone on bone knee pain. In early 2019 I went back to Bumrungrad to have bone spurs removed from my right knee before too much cartilage wore out and all is still good. Also, I had LASIK surgery on both eyes in 2008 at Bumrungrad when I was 49 and I am now 64 and both eyes I still see perfectly.
I am from Thailand living in the US. I reviewed the Everhealth Care website and was impressed that all the Thai hospitals they listed are very good hospitals. I went to Korea with an agency for medical treatments. When I compare the service and the care I received, I prefer Thailand. In Korea, it seems the doctor avoided talking to me. The nurse never come to check on me. I had to bang in the wall to call for attention because the device use to call a nurse that they gave to me after the surgery fell off and I couldn’t call a nurse to help me with the pain.
Great video Chris! Could you do a video on how Thais care for their seniors? What options are available for seniors that need long term care or assisted living? Here in Canada LTC is so expensive and care is not that good!
Excellent episode! The medical services I have received in Thailand, dental (Khon Kean Hug Dental) and surgical (Bangkok Hospital Samui) have been exceptional.
Thailand has strong employment visa rules, unless you have a skill that a Thai doesn’t have it will be nearly impossible to get employment. There should be agents for employment that deal with hospital HR but wages might not be enough for a decent lifestyle.
I had a full dental restoration that included 2 abstractions, 3 root canals, 5 upper and 6 lower restorations, 5 crowns, and 5 - YES FIVE - implants, and saved at least $50 thousand dollars if done in the U.S. More importantly, the dentist was Western trained, spoke perfect English, had 3 assistants with me at all times, and the technology was state-of-the-art. It was a wonderful experience and I will NEVER pay NY prices and suffer their pitiful and indifferent care again. BTW, my implants were $685. each - earlier this year (2023). Not the $1950. listed in this video. So you can get even better deals too.
Yes would please kindly tell us what Dr. and dental hospital clinic you had your work done. I need a few implants and moving to BKK soon Loed willing. Thank you in advance🙏🏽
Hi Jed, I've been trying to research different dentist in Thailand, for possible dental surgery for my sister, my nephew and myself. Could you tell me what the name of the facility and doctors name is?
I’m interested in more information on various plastic surgery & liposuction . I was there in Bangkok Thailand in the early 2000s . Had a pretty good experience with Dr. Kamol . On another note my great grandmother and grandfather were Canadian . A beautiful country .
A Chinaman goes to see the eye doctor. After the exam the doctor said, "I know why you're having trouble." The Chinaman says, "why?" Doctor said, "you have a cataract." Chinaman says, "no, I have a Rincoln Continental
Next time when I visit Bangkok for sure I will go do my teeth whitening for $200 . My insurance Delta won’t cover this procedure . It will cost me $700.
Great job Chris. Actually there are 66 JCI Accreditation hospitals in Thailand and all of them have great doctors and services (it depends on what you're looking for). Of course all of them are private hospitals, as I remember in 1992 Thailand have only 3 or 4 JCI accreditation hospitals and look how many they have now. I had positive experiences with these Thai hospitals myself and would recommend everyone to try. If you are looking for good doctor good service and value for your money.
Cancer treatments in the USA are insane. The one amazing we do here is give our veterans healthcare for life so my father was able to get chemo treatments and surgeries for pennies on the dollar. Now if you dont have the right insurance or your not a vet, your choice is pretty much you die. Atleast this gives options to people who dont have any options
Perfect timing! I was just starting to look into a visit for a medical procedure. Only question I have after watching is how they handle scheduling. Do they consult via video-conferencing or do you have to fly to Thailand for an initial consultation, then fly out again for the procedure?
Very informative and interesting. I really enjoy such type of educational and informative videos on topics that are more on the serious side. Thank you very much! I hope you will do more on such type of topics.😀
For me to look for a specialist in Medellin was that the referral process here in LA takes about 3 months, has very high deductibles plus, the cost of the treatment when a insurance company denies the claim. In Colombia I was able to see a dermatologist the within a day the consultation, treatment and medication was only $110.00.
If you live in the US, please CHECK if your insurance will cover some of your health costs in Thailand. Case in point. In 2019 a dental crown would cost me $1200 in the state where I live. With my dental insurance, I would pay $857 there. I had my crown done at Bangkok's Thantakit Dental Clinic. With their 10% cash discount I paid $568.93. My dental insurance reimbursed me $332.16 for this 'out of network' service for the crown. My final cost was $236.77. This is not an isolated case. In 2015 I had a comprehensive physical exam done at Bangkok General Hospital costing $592.45 where I was diagnosed with pneumonia. A few months later after filing a claim, my Blue Cross affiliated plan reimbursed me $520.92. My final cost was $71.53.
This is a great content! I'm Thai. I've been living aborad so long. It the time to go back to check up my health. Before I have seen this vdo I was searching about surgery clinics that I plan to get thing done. Now I'm getting old so it good idea to check up my health as well! Thank you for your VDO
Very interesting seeing inside some of the hospitals. I have been told the facilities are top notch. I've always had it in the back of my mind that I might need this one day,
Thailand has a policy to treat all diseases at a price of 30 baht, equal to 0.87 dollars for Thai people and Thailand has one of the top 5 public health sites in the world.
As a healthcare provider, I'm so happy to see how these important services are provided in such a beautiful place . As usual, the Thais know how to do it in style. Thanks for sharing
It is a fantastic place for medical care. I had a skin cancer on the nose removed by a plastic surgeon and Bumrangrad Hospital years ago.... I have had dental work done as well. I also had an eye exam and new prescription for glasses at Rutnin Eye Hospital. Top notch physicians with excellent care!
Interesting subject, an a lot of choice. Here in NL you can't chose your specialist (even not the dentist!) and we have a very very long waiting time (sometimes 9 months for specific examinations).
I wonder about that , in my perception, medical issue is something to check as soon as possible. In Thailand , we can walk in to any hospital and every one will see a doctor to check symptom first , any specific examination may be appointed after that if its not serious sickness and can be waited. At least, patients know that they are not in serious sickness and get some medicine to heal or take advice from doctor before coming again for next appointment if further examination or follow up is needed. Its better to call for making appointment in advance, Walk in will also see doctor but it may take long time for queue. Recently I just know that in some countries , seeing doctor is not easy and also expensive. Then I have realized that how hard- working Thai dictors do, especially in the governed hospitals in up country that full of poor people who have no money to get in a private hospital same as many in Bangkok . Appreciate those doctors.
@@SuperDorame Thai people They have atleast $1 promotion(for whatever type of illnesses) for every Thai but random hospital(cannot choose). And there are m38, m39, m40 if you want to upgrade or you have a job, there are variety of choices if you want but most of the local Bangkok workers who has a normal job here in Bangkok(income about us$800-us$2000 per month) most of them pay extra fees for their insurance and I believe most of the Bangkok people who has a good job in Bangkok(us$2,000-us$100,000 per month) all of them has many particular insurance.
Brilliant vid Chris.. Have had my dental work done in Thailand for 12 years ...top notch service at a fraction of the price in Australia Also Bumrungrad Hospital is amazing ..way better than the medical Merry go round most western countries put Ya on Great advice mate.. Well done ❤
Hi, Lee-Anne, may I ask how much you paid for the dental works? I badly need 4 implants. Greatly appreciate if you could share me some information. Thanks.
@@jimmystar6730 hi Jimmy I had my work done 12 years ago at Bangkok Smile.. great place good prices been going back every year since was quoted a crazy price in oz and got all my work done for a third of the cost They are in Asoke Soi 21 and new clinic called Mayo in Soi 5 near Nana... You can contact them on the net ...good luck
@@jimmystar6730 My wife is a dentist and she runs a private dental clinic in a major province in Thailand. Her clinic charges around 40,000 bht/tooth (1,600 AUD) for the implant. In private clinics/hospitals in Thailand, tooth implant would cost in the range of 30,000-90,000 bht/tooth (1,200 -3,600 AUD) depending on the quality of instruments/luxury of the place/and the dentist's fee.
Super subject, Chris...I'm lining myself up for a major "teeth overhaul job"...Half the cost of the USA and the clinics work together (Tx and BKK)...Looking forward to this, ready to flash a new set of grills with pearly whites that shine in the dark!!! 😆 👍😎👍 🕺
Good choice I had dental work done in Thailand second to none great treatment had a few root canals and bridge work, the root canals where performed by a dentist who only works with root channels and the other work the same bridgework specialist, when they administered the Novocain a young lady assistant at the side of me started tapping me on my shoulder and totally distracted me at the time of the jabs and each whole procedure was pain free and professional the pricing is also more then reasonable, good luck and congratulations for your new pearly smile.
What all patients who come to the hospital in Thailand You will feel the care that comes from the hearts of Thai people who really take care of you during the treatment. It's not just one of their jobs. which is nowhere else in the world
yeah there is many tourist from middle-east travel to take medical care in thailand i was once work as luxury apartment caretaker and the room was book full all years by those Arab who come here to medical care and went i ask why they come here to thailand they answer is it's cheap and medical care is topnotch and they can go tour around all cost at up is still cheaper than they medical bill in they own country
For UK residents, Thailand would only be chosen for cosmetic or dental work as all other health matters are free at point of delivery - there may be waits but for vital/urgent treatment these shouldn't be too great. Add to this the fact that should things go wrong all other services to deal with the problems are at hand and, of course, free.
Thai people are truly amazing. Wow they have really developed and turned tables. Even weed selling in shops have become legal. 👌 weeds, girls, travel, medical, cheap hotels, good lord all mighty.
The Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis refused to negotiate their fees (all of them). As an "uninsured" I had to pay out-of-pocket on everything (cash, paid before anything was done). I had MOHS surgery and this cost over $90,000. I paid the bill, and this bankrupted me and my family. Now, I'm looking for spinal surgery and there is no place in the United States that is even remotely affordable. I still can't afford health insurance here either. The US has the worst healthcare in the world and it's the biggest scam operation I've ever seen.
I remember a co-worker when I was in Germany. She said that she had the problem (she did not tell me what it was) and then the problem was cleared up. She said that she could not get insurance in the US "because they talk with each other". She said that no one would sell her insurance - at all. So she left the states to go live/work in Germany. She wrote documentation for the software. At first, they would not give her a company car but she got one after she had been there for a while ( I think 2 years ).
Great video. I am looking too retire in Samui in the next two years. I am curious about your learning to speak Thai or even a retired perspective when you return to Thailand. Thanks again keep the videos coming.
Frankly, when it comes to face lifting and cosmetic surgery their prices just don't warrant the risk and travel expense as the prices just aren't that great. Add up expensive airfare that ranges from $1700 to $2000 or more, and a high-quality hotel, in addition, good sanitary restaurants there are not cheap there. It would be wiser to get your work done in the US if you want a face, neck, or eyelift type of work done. Just don't look for a Doctor in Beverly Hills or New City and do your research for plastic surgeons in smaller cities. When you have serious surgery you are not jumping back on a 35 or more hour flight any time soon either.
Fantastic report Chris - I was pretty useless at finding what i wanted on the web site, re: finding a hospital fir my busted knee - i’m reaching out to the community to see if anyone has first or second hand experience regarding knee surgery in BKK - I may need extensive treatment - thanks in advance
Chris, are you saying thailand has better health care then canada?. I just had a friend that had a cancer spot removed from her lung. It was caught very early and was at stage one. The whole procedure cost her around $67.00US. Under medicare. I guess you should go to Kevin-in -thailand. He didn't want a health care policy from one of the private companies offering it,because they don't cover pre-existing conditions and have caps on coverage. These companies are outlawed from selling these policies in the advance countries of the world. Kev started out with around $27,000US with chemotherapy and was told the next step would surgery to remove it. Around a other $35,000US. He did get money from a gofundme account and decided to get the surgery back in england.
Ever Health is some kind of tour agent that makes it convenient for neo medical tourists to get treatment in Thailand at affordable costs. However, for decades there have been several leading private hospitals offering such services through words of mouth reputation and these hospitals are still doing roaring business right now as they have extensive contacts with several countries. Another option is to get treatment from leading teaching hospitals in Bangkok such as Siriraj, Chula and Rama. They do cater for international patients and all staffs speak English at their international division. All those experts in private hospitals all go through these 3 medical schools for their first medical degree before they study aboard to get specialist certificate, mostly in the US, UK and Japan. Of course, their teachers in Thailand's 3 leading teaching hospitals also got specialist certificates from US, UK, Japan before returning to continue their teaching/treating patients in these 3 leading hospitals.
Healthcare is something everyone is going to have to tackle more and more often as we all age in life. Love the valuable info about this important topic! It's so surprising to me how little info there are about medical tourism specifics.
I am not confident of getting extension for medical at immigration office for 6.month cataract surgeries even with hospital documents after arriving in Thailand on 30 or 60 day visa. This type of visa.for.medical may need to be obtained while outsude of Thailand. The DTV for medical needs to be done outside of Thailand. Impossible to do. Hospitals wont give documents unless in Thailand first. Catch 22.
I just got a call yesterday from the dental school that I go to for any dental work in Hawthorn, NY. They wanted to get me on the schedule for the two implants and crowns that I need . When the coordinator gave me the price it took me a couple of seconds to swallow, $1600 for each implant and $1500 for each crown, $6,200!!! To makes matters worse my sister who works in medical billing for a huge medical group told me that's a great price because its half of what is being charged throughout New York. If I go to the dental facility Chris mentioned in another video, and get the Korean implants, I could get both implants for under $2,200, as well as a couple of other procedures, and still be able to cover hotel accommodations, food and round trip flights...
Thank you for nice information, international broadcast as well. Some foreigners've just received data about red light area perspective. In spite of many tourists came to Thailand with so much more perspective than that. Appreciate your videos, I'm always enjoy watching them (useful & comfy). Best wishes. (ขอบคุณมากครับสำหรับเนื้อหาดีๆ สำหรับประเทศไทย)
Chris first of all I want to say thank you for all your great content. I'm in Thailand I need some back surgery but the link for the concierge service you recommended doesn't seem to work right. Any help in direction would be most appreciated
I came very close to doing this then circumstance changed and I ended up not going…then it came up again and I bought a house instead. LOL!!! 😂 there might be a day one day it will come up again but I’m not getting any younger. So the new movie “The Book Club” I didn’t even recognize Jane Fonda…she really screwed up her face with fillers.. and so did Mary Steenburgen. .. just awful…they need to go to Thailand before getting all these fillers.
Interesting that cosmetic procedures are comparatively so much more expensive than other procedures. And more than half what you would pay in the US. Im from Australia and I would guess it similarly would cost more than half the cost of Australia. Add it airfares, hotel accommodation and everything else. Maybe not as cheap as I thought. I guess they can charge more for cosmetic procedures because thats what the market will bear.
Love these videos Chris! Keep them coming. Maybe next time pick a specific procedure say dental implants and visit the top three in town or hair transplant and the top three. Also how about a report on Heathland Asoke. Love that place!
I went to Mexico to get dental work done. I hadn’t been to a dentist in ten years and got two cleanings, 8 cavities filled, a root canal and teeth whitening done for 1,700.00$. The best part was the attitude of the dentist. After light hearted joking about what an idiot I was for not going to a dentist for ten years she took such great care of me and I didn’t feel judged at all. Also since a lot of pain killers are available in the pharmacy without prescription you can go and buy painkillers or whatever you want by the pill for after the procedure. Go see Dr. Francis if you are ever in Rosarito Mexico.
9 thousand US for MRI or CT scan ? In Canada I did it for free, actually not free, the expenses come for the taxes everyone paying. In America it's different, the medical insurance is private and not cover everything.
I had surgery at the Origene clinic in Pattaya Thailand. Had lower eyelid and fat removal. Also fat injections at the temple. All the fat disappeared and the bags are still here. They refuse to do anything except charge me more to fix 1 eye and transfer more fat. Its a Korean Doctor. They weren't interested in my satisfaction but were happy to charge more money to redo the surgery. Not all Korean Doctors are qualified.
This guy was saying the dental care in thailand was cheap and better, well I went to Philippines and I even cheapest, I made an fixed tooth bridge for 47 dolars each piece, I need 4 plus two of the bridge 6 piece in total and I pay 290 us dollars in total, much better than in bangkok
That's for Americans only, where their insurance not cover their totally medical care. Canada medical care cover everything except dental care and glasses.
I don't know why, but my Brother went to an e.r. for glass in his hand and they charged him 10 grand for not even taking the glass out completely. We're fucked in the u.s.
I envy people living in Thailand. Here in the U.S. the greedy corporation is in control of our healthcare. They practically charge whatever they want and as a result most people can’t afford it. Although, they will not turn you away, most people opt not to get treatment because of the ridiculously high prices.
As promised, here's the link to Ever Healthcare, the 'Airbnb of Healthcare': bit.ly/39YIU3P

Also, I had LASIK surgery on both eyes in 2008 at Bumrungrad when I was 49 and I am now 64 and both eyes I still see perfectly.
Gross old men
Hahaha, the hot nurses will make you heal faster???!
Did you do your recovery time in thailand too?
I am from Thailand living in the US. I reviewed the Everhealth Care website and was impressed that all the Thai hospitals they listed are very good hospitals.
I went to Korea with an agency for medical treatments. When I compare the service and the care I received, I prefer Thailand. In Korea, it seems the doctor avoided talking to me. The nurse never come to check on me. I had to bang in the wall to call for attention because the device use to call a nurse that they gave to me after the surgery fell off and I couldn’t call a nurse to help me with the pain.
Yes, our government plans to have Thailand become the best medical hub. We are trying our best to reach the goal.
Awesome video, Chris. This is one of the reasons you're one of the go to Thailand channels.
Great video Chris! Could you do a video on how Thais care for their seniors? What options are available for seniors that need long term care or assisted living? Here in Canada LTC is so expensive and care is not that good!
Excellent episode! The medical services I have received in Thailand, dental (Khon Kean Hug Dental) and surgical (Bangkok Hospital Samui) have been exceptional.
Excellent service, Prim is very professional👍
Chris, could you please find out how feasible it is to work as an LPN in Thailand’s modern hospitals?
Thailand has strong employment visa rules, unless you have a skill that a Thai doesn’t have it will be nearly impossible to get employment. There should be agents for employment that deal with hospital HR but wages might not be enough for a decent lifestyle.
I had a full dental restoration that included 2 abstractions, 3 root canals, 5 upper and 6 lower restorations, 5 crowns, and 5 - YES FIVE - implants, and saved at least $50 thousand dollars if done in the U.S.
More importantly, the dentist was Western trained, spoke perfect English, had 3 assistants with me at all times, and the technology was state-of-the-art.
It was a wonderful experience and I will NEVER pay NY prices and suffer their pitiful and indifferent care again.
BTW, my implants were $685. each - earlier this year (2023). Not the $1950. listed in this video. So you can get even better deals too.
Hi could you please supply details to me of dentist you used and where this was.
I am going to Vietnam soon from Australia. 🎉
Yes would please kindly tell us what Dr. and dental hospital clinic you had your work done. I need a few implants and moving to BKK soon Loed willing. Thank you in advance🙏🏽

I’m interested in more information on various plastic surgery & liposuction . I was there in Bangkok Thailand in the early 2000s .
Had a pretty good experience with Dr. Kamol .
On another note my great grandmother and grandfather were Canadian . A beautiful country .
A Chinaman goes to see the eye doctor. After the exam the doctor said, "I know why you're having trouble." The Chinaman says, "why?" Doctor said, "you have a cataract." Chinaman says, "no, I have a Rincoln Continental
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Next time when I visit Bangkok for sure I will go do my teeth whitening for $200 . My insurance Delta won’t cover this procedure . It will cost me $700.
Great job Chris.
Actually there are 66 JCI Accreditation hospitals in Thailand and all of them have great doctors and services (it depends on what you're looking for). Of course all of them are private hospitals, as I remember in 1992 Thailand have only 3 or 4 JCI accreditation hospitals and look how many they have now. I had positive experiences with these Thai hospitals myself and would recommend everyone to try. If you are looking for good doctor good service and value for your money.

Cancer treatments in the USA are insane. The one amazing we do here is give our veterans healthcare for life so my father was able to get chemo treatments and surgeries for pennies on the dollar. Now if you dont have the right insurance or your not a vet, your choice is pretty much you die. Atleast this gives options to people who dont have any options
Perfect timing! I was just starting to look into a visit for a medical procedure. Only question I have after watching is how they handle scheduling. Do they consult via video-conferencing or do you have to fly to Thailand for an initial consultation, then fly out again for the procedure?
Very informative and interesting. I really enjoy such type of educational and informative videos on topics that are more on the serious side. Thank you very much! I hope you will do more on such type of topics.😀
I'm a male nurse in Toronto and i can tell you that a nosejob (rhinoplasty) for $1500 is one hell of a deal. Great stuff!
For me to look for a specialist in Medellin was that the referral process here in LA takes about 3 months, has very high deductibles plus, the cost of the treatment when a insurance company denies the claim. In Colombia I was able to see a dermatologist the within a day the consultation, treatment and medication was only $110.00.
If you live in the US, please CHECK if your insurance will cover some of your health costs in Thailand.
Case in point. In 2019 a dental crown would cost me $1200 in the state where I live. With my dental insurance, I would pay $857 there. I had my crown done at Bangkok's Thantakit Dental Clinic. With their 10% cash discount I paid $568.93. My dental insurance reimbursed me $332.16 for this 'out of network' service for the crown. My final cost was $236.77.
This is not an isolated case.
In 2015 I had a comprehensive physical exam done at Bangkok General Hospital costing $592.45 where I was diagnosed with pneumonia. A few months later after filing a claim, my Blue Cross affiliated plan reimbursed me $520.92. My final cost was $71.53.

Before I have seen this vdo I was searching about surgery clinics that I plan to get thing done. Now I'm getting old so it good idea to check up my health as well! Thank you for your VDO
Very interesting seeing inside some of the hospitals. I have been told the facilities are top notch. I've always had it in the back of my mind that I might need this one day,
Thailand has a policy to treat all diseases at a price of 30 baht, equal to 0.87 dollars for Thai people and Thailand has one of the top 5 public health sites in the world.
This is the first time I heard that Thailand ranks no 5 globally in public health care sevice.
Thanks for sharing this info!
As a healthcare provider, I'm so happy to see how these important services are provided in such a beautiful place . As usual, the Thais know how to do it in style. Thanks for sharing

Interesting subject, an a lot of choice. Here in NL you can't chose your specialist (even not the dentist!) and we have a very very long waiting time (sometimes 9 months for specific examinations).
I wonder about that , in my perception, medical issue is something to check as soon as possible. In Thailand , we can walk in to any hospital and every one will see a doctor to check symptom first , any specific examination may be appointed after that if its not serious sickness and can be waited. At least, patients know that they are not in serious sickness and get some medicine to heal or take advice from doctor before coming again for next appointment if further examination or follow up is needed. Its better to call for making appointment in advance, Walk in will also see doctor but it may take long time for queue. Recently I just know that in some countries , seeing doctor is not easy and also expensive. Then I have realized that how hard- working Thai dictors do, especially in the governed hospitals in up country that full of poor people who have no money to get in a private hospital same as many in Bangkok . Appreciate those doctors.
@@SuperDorame Thai people They have atleast $1 promotion(for whatever type of illnesses) for every Thai but random hospital(cannot choose).
And there are m38, m39, m40 if you want to upgrade or you have a job, there are variety of choices if you want but most of the local Bangkok workers who has a normal job here in Bangkok(income about us$800-us$2000 per month) most of them pay extra fees for their insurance and I believe most of the Bangkok people who has a good job in Bangkok(us$2,000-us$100,000 per month) all of them has many particular insurance.
Where is NL?
Brilliant vid Chris.. Have had my dental work done in Thailand for 12 years ...top notch service at a fraction of the price in Australia

@@lee-annehodgson-berry4129 Thank you!
@@jimmystar6730 My wife is a dentist and she runs a private dental clinic in a major province in Thailand. Her clinic charges around 40,000 bht/tooth (1,600 AUD) for the implant. In private clinics/hospitals in Thailand, tooth implant would cost in the range of 30,000-90,000 bht/tooth (1,200 -3,600 AUD) depending on the quality of instruments/luxury of the place/and the dentist's fee.
Super subject, Chris...I'm lining myself up for a major "teeth overhaul job"...Half the cost of the USA and the clinics work together (Tx and BKK)...Looking forward to this, ready to flash a new set of grills with pearly whites that shine in the dark!!! 😆 👍😎👍 🕺
Good choice I had dental work done in Thailand second to none great treatment had a few root canals and bridge work, the root canals where performed by a dentist who only works with root channels and the other work the same bridgework specialist, when they administered the Novocain a young lady assistant at the side of me started tapping me on my shoulder and totally distracted me at the time of the jabs and each whole procedure was pain free and professional the pricing is also more then reasonable, good luck and congratulations for your new pearly smile.
What all patients who come to the hospital in Thailand You will feel the care that comes from the hearts of Thai people who really take care of you during the treatment. It's not just one of their jobs. which is nowhere else in the world
yeah there is many tourist from middle-east travel to take medical care in thailand i was once work as luxury apartment caretaker and the room was book full all years by those Arab who come here to medical care and went i ask why they come here to thailand they answer is it's cheap and medical care is topnotch and they can go tour around all cost at up is still cheaper than they medical bill in they own country
For UK residents, Thailand would only be chosen for cosmetic or dental work as all other health matters are free at point of delivery - there may be waits but for vital/urgent treatment these shouldn't be too great. Add to this the fact that should things go wrong all other services to deal with the problems are at hand and, of course, free.
Best video on this subject I have ever seen will definitely keep this as I get closer to retirement
Glad it was helpful!
Thai people are truly amazing. Wow they have really developed and turned tables. Even weed selling in shops have become legal. 👌 weeds, girls, travel, medical, cheap hotels, good lord all mighty.

The Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis refused to negotiate their fees (all of them). As an "uninsured" I had to pay out-of-pocket on everything (cash, paid before anything was done). I had MOHS surgery and this cost over $90,000. I paid the bill, and this bankrupted me and my family. Now, I'm looking for spinal surgery and there is no place in the United States that is even remotely affordable. I still can't afford health insurance here either. The US has the worst healthcare in the world and it's the biggest scam operation I've ever seen.
I remember a co-worker when I was in Germany. She said that she had the problem (she did not tell me what it was) and then the problem was cleared up. She said that she could not get insurance in the US "because they talk with each other". She said that no one would sell her insurance - at all. So she left the states to go live/work in Germany. She wrote documentation for the software. At first, they would not give her a company car but she got one after she had been there for a while ( I think 2 years ).
Interesting topic Chris, but prefer your vids when they are not blatant marketing

Hi Chris, great video, just one question - Is there a legal way to find a Kidney Donor in Thailand ?
Great video.
I am looking too retire in Samui in the next two years. I am curious about your learning to speak Thai or even a retired perspective when you return to Thailand.
Thanks again keep the videos coming.
Frankly, when it comes to face lifting and cosmetic surgery their prices just don't warrant the risk and travel expense as the prices just aren't that great. Add up expensive airfare that ranges from $1700 to $2000 or more, and a high-quality hotel, in addition, good sanitary restaurants there are not cheap there. It would be wiser to get your work done in the US if you want a face, neck, or eyelift type of work done. Just don't look for a Doctor in Beverly Hills or New City and do your research for plastic surgeons in smaller cities. When you have serious surgery you are not jumping back on a 35 or more hour flight any time soon either.
Thanks a lot ...Chris. You make Thailand like a paradise on earth again.
Fantastic report Chris -
I was pretty useless at finding what i wanted on the web site, re: finding a hospital fir my busted knee -
i’m reaching out to the community to see if anyone has first or second hand experience regarding knee surgery in BKK -
I may need extensive treatment -
thanks in advance
Chris, are you saying thailand has better health care then canada?.
I just had a friend that had a cancer spot removed from her lung. It was caught very early and was at stage one. The whole procedure cost her around $67.00US. Under medicare.
I guess you should go to Kevin-in -thailand. He didn't want a health care policy from one of the private companies offering it,because they don't cover pre-existing conditions and have caps on coverage. These companies are outlawed from selling these policies in the advance countries of the world.
Kev started out with around $27,000US with chemotherapy and was told the next step would surgery to remove it. Around a other $35,000US. He did get money from a gofundme account and decided to get the surgery back in england.
Ever Health is some kind of tour agent that makes it convenient for neo medical tourists to get treatment in Thailand at affordable costs. However, for decades there have been several leading private hospitals offering such services through words of mouth reputation and these hospitals are still doing roaring business right now as they have extensive contacts with several countries. Another option is to get treatment from leading teaching hospitals in Bangkok such as Siriraj, Chula and Rama. They do cater for international patients and all staffs speak English at their international division. All those experts in private hospitals all go through these 3 medical schools for their first medical degree before they study aboard to get specialist certificate, mostly in the US, UK and Japan. Of course, their teachers in Thailand's 3 leading teaching hospitals also got specialist certificates from US, UK, Japan before returning to continue their teaching/treating patients in these 3 leading hospitals.
Healthcare is something everyone is going to have to tackle more and more often as we all age in life. Love the valuable info about this important topic! It's so surprising to me how little info there are about medical tourism specifics.
The healthcare was probably the largest factor in my decision to retire here in Chiang Mai.

I am not confident of getting extension for medical at immigration office for 6.month cataract surgeries even with hospital documents after arriving in Thailand on 30 or 60 day visa. This type of visa.for.medical may need to be obtained while outsude of Thailand. The DTV for medical needs to be done outside of Thailand. Impossible to do. Hospitals wont give documents unless in Thailand first. Catch 22.
I just got a call yesterday from the dental school that I go to for any dental work in Hawthorn, NY. They wanted to get me on the schedule for the two implants and crowns that I need . When the coordinator gave me the price it took me a couple of seconds to swallow, $1600 for each implant and $1500 for each crown, $6,200!!! To makes matters worse my sister who works in medical billing for a huge medical group told me that's a great price because its half of what is being charged throughout New York. If I go to the dental facility Chris mentioned in another video, and get the Korean implants, I could get both implants for under $2,200, as well as a couple of other procedures, and still be able to cover hotel accommodations, food and round trip flights...
Thank you for nice information, international broadcast as well.

Interesting that cosmetic procedures are comparatively so much more expensive than other procedures. And more than half what you would pay in the US. Im from Australia and I would guess it similarly would cost more than half the cost of Australia. Add it airfares, hotel accommodation and everything else. Maybe not as cheap as I thought. I guess they can charge more for cosmetic procedures because thats what the market will bear.
Love these videos Chris! Keep them coming. Maybe next time pick a specific procedure say dental implants and visit the top three in town or hair transplant and the top three. Also how about a report on Heathland Asoke. Love that place!

I went to Mexico to get dental work done. I hadn’t been to a dentist in ten years and got two cleanings, 8 cavities filled, a root canal and teeth whitening done for 1,700.00$. The best part was the attitude of the dentist. After light hearted joking about what an idiot I was for not going to a dentist for ten years she took such great care of me and I didn’t feel judged at all. Also since a lot of pain killers are available in the pharmacy without prescription you can go and buy painkillers or whatever you want by the pill for after the procedure. Go see Dr. Francis if you are ever in Rosarito Mexico.
Why did you wait ten years ? Curious

9 thousand US for MRI or CT scan ? In Canada I did it for free, actually not free, the expenses come for the taxes everyone paying. In America it's different, the medical insurance is private and not cover everything.

I had surgery at the Origene clinic in Pattaya Thailand. Had lower eyelid and fat removal. Also fat injections at the temple. All the fat disappeared and the bags are still here. They refuse to do anything except charge me more to fix 1 eye and transfer more fat. Its a Korean Doctor. They weren't interested in my satisfaction but were happy to charge more money to redo the surgery. Not all Korean Doctors are qualified.
This guy was saying the dental care in thailand was cheap and better, well I went to Philippines and I even cheapest, I made an fixed tooth bridge for 47 dolars each piece, I need 4 plus two of the bridge 6 piece in total and I pay 290 us dollars in total, much better than in bangkok
I just had total hip replacement in Chiangmai this week. About 12000 with 4 nights stay in the hospital. So far so good.
That's for Americans only, where their insurance not cover their totally medical care. Canada medical care cover everything except dental care and glasses.
I don't know why, but my Brother went to an e.r. for glass in his hand and they charged him 10 grand for not even taking the glass out completely. We're fucked in the u.s.
I envy people living in Thailand. Here in the U.S. the greedy corporation is in control of our healthcare. They practically charge whatever they want and as a result most people can’t afford it. Although, they will not turn you away, most people opt not to get treatment because of the ridiculously high prices.
