How Much Does Medical Care Really Cost in Thailand – Hospitals, Insurance and Real Prices

Many people believe medical care in Thailand is cheap but that is not always true. In this video I break down the real cost of hospital treatment in Bangkok and explain what you can expect to pay in a Thai hospital as a foreigner. Whether you live in Thailand as an expat or you are just travelling here on holiday, medical bills can be a shock if you are not prepared. I explain the difference between private hospitals like Bumrungrad, Bangkok Hospital and Samitivej compared to government hospitals, and why the prices can vary so much.

Thailand is known for medical tourism, dental work and cosmetic surgery but emergency care, x-rays, operations and overnight stays in hospital can be very expensive without insurance. I also explain why some hospitals in Bangkok ask for payment before treatment and why you should always read the small print when it comes to health insurance in Thailand. If you are planning to live in Thailand long term you need to understand medical costs, health insurance options, inpatient cover, outpatient services and the real price of treatment.

Watch this video until the end if you want real information about healthcare in Thailand, hospital bills in Bangkok and what to do if you need medical treatment in Thailand.
