Most requested treatments
- Dental care: crowns, implants, whitening; compare at least two quotes and the guarantee.
- Health check-ups: day packages, results often the same or the next day.
- Planned surgery: ask for the surgeon's name, specialty, length of stay and follow-up.
Insurance, visa, recovery
- Standard travel insurance usually excludes planned treatment: read the exclusions; it is for unexpected emergencies. For travel insurance for nomads and travellers, see SafetyWing.
- Depending on the treatment, a specific visa may exist: check with the Thai embassy before leaving.
- After surgery, allow rest days before flying and ask the doctor's advice; if something goes wrong, see emergencies and health in Bangkok.
Tips
Keep your medical records translated into English, ask for the doctor's contact details for remote follow-up and stay close to the hospital: see hotels near Sukhumvit.
