  • Ok I am not saying all the hospitals in thailand is bad or unskilled but they are a developiing nation. Many are poor and many are also uneducated so if something goes wrong in a surgery, you may not be able to do any about it since you have no rights or any insurance, support or what not since you did it in a totally diff country. Sorry but I just cannot trust doctors from a foreign country unless they have a very good reputation

  • According to the American Medical Association, graduates of international medical schools have been an integral part of the medical community since the 1940s. Today, of the roughly 950,000 doctors practicing in the U.S., there are over 240,000 foreign-trained doctors among them. So you already are being treated by foreign trained doctors in the US.

  • Healthcare is better than in the USA all over the world. So is education.

  • @egeefay actually isn't it policy that they have to relearn all the methods of the way medical operations run in the U.S to even get their doctors liscence? I mean I hear all the time that peopel who were doctors back home could not be doctors in the states or canada unless they relearn everything. Sucks but true.

  • @jualkyn Once you sign the consent, you are agreeing that there are possibilities of serious complications and failures. It's the same in the US.

  • @TotesMagotes I know, right?! This hospital is like a spa. Next time I think of going on vacation, I'll think of faking an illness and staying at that hospital for a week. If the hospitals are that nice, I wonder how their hotels look!

  • If you pay 2500$ for this check-up. then your a poor citizen.

    

  • Samitivej hospital near the main airport is the best one.

  • wow ill better go there

  • 75$?!!?!?! I just lost my shit! A skanky hotel room with condoms stuck to the wall runs that much per night in the USA. (depending on where you live of course.) but seriously that's fucking ridiculously cheap.

  • Its even better in New Zealand.... Its free

  • Prices in Thailand for Americans have gone up about 25% in the last 2 years. Problem is that the American dollar has lost a lot of value and the exchange rate which use to be 38 baht to one dollar is now down to 30 baht to one dollar. So this year I paid $400 for a full physical. Still a great Bargain

  • I just returned from Thailand. This time I got a full physical at another Hospital....Thai Nakarin Hospital in Bangkok.

    I had Blood work, EKG, carotid echography test, Upper and Lower abdominal ultrasound, chest Xray, Cardio Stress Test, Urinalysis, Stool Examination...all for $400!!!

    Just the Stress Test alone would have cost $3000-$4000 in the US.
