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.

[@TheTraiblazers]

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).

[@philly1776]

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:):)

[@danielmckinnon9627]

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.

[@luckyguy71]

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).

[@silasketgaskets8709]

Link to objective stats-data to confirm that please. ,I would imagine best hub depends on patient location, distance to travel, procedures needed. Clearly in north america central and south america offer expertise and world class facilities and much closer than Thailand. A US doctor I know says in medicine beware of "red flag statements" like "best medical hub of the world" He said doctors are taught to be especially leery when they see such superlative statements.

[@kamaaina3261]

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.

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.

[@carloslima390]

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.

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.

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.

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).

[@SuperDorame]

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.

Chris: This is one of the most valuable videos to have ever been on YT! I may even stop referring to it as Useless Tube after this! LOL I have severe back pain due to an injury. Almost ten years ago I was paralyzed from the waist down. The top surgeons and specialists in New England stated that I would spend the rest of my life in a wheel chair. My response to them was, shall we say, significantly less than polite and quite loud! LOL After three months I walked out of the hospital and have been walking ever since. I may need a cane on occasion but, I'm still mobile and it still hurts, A LOT! Even though I have some serious pain medication prescribed, I only use it on rare occasions. I refuse to become addicted to them and the best way is to not use them. Big Pharm will have to find another lab rat with which to experiment! I have done extensive research and found there is a procedure which has been proven successful many times. The downside is that in the "good 'ol US of A", it is illegal because it requires cloning the material in my own body. Yeah! It uses my own stem cells! (Damned religious zealots screwed that pooch right to Hell!) I did discover a hospital in Beijing that can actually reverse and cure the herniated disc AND restore the severely degenerated discs in my spine. The only problem is that it is in Beijing. We all know how great things are going there so, that place is off the list! Go figure! LOL If there is any way that such repair work can be done in Thailand I'm in for it! Is this something that is a possibility over there? Of course, I will be checking with Ever Healthcare to see if they know of any possibilities but, I thought I would ask you since other subscribers may have or know of some else who is in need of such corrective measures. The only real problem will be funding such an adventure since my health care insurance is only good in the USA and stops as soon as I leave our airspace! Thanks a lot Uncle Sam you short sighted greedy jerk! One last thing is that I am seriously considering moving to Thailand based upon the videos that you have made coupled with my own research.

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!!! 😆 👍😎👍 🕺

[@MLVL312]

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.

I've had surgeries in Bumrungrad, BNH and Samitivej. BNH is hands down the best!

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.

My foreigner friends love to come to LASIK eye treatment in Thailand because it's a great treatment for less than 3,000 US Dollar.

[@whypopme88]

most doctors in NYC charges less than $2k per eye.

[@rainwinter1597]

It is priced at 1500-3000 for two eyes. and the best technology.
