Thailand’s Health Tourism
A friend of mine was putting up a retail display outside is travel agency recently when we got to talking about health care and the fact that there is a sector of the tourism market called health tourism. i asked him why health tourism. He advised me that with health care being so costly in so many jurisdictions many people are seeking countries that offer quality health care at a reasonable price. Thailand is one such country he told me and the market is growing.
The Thai medical system is believed to be among the best in the world. The country over the years has invested vast amounts of capital into their hospitals and clinics in the form of well-trained doctors and other health professionals, medical equipment, and management. In fact, a number of their main hospitals have received international accreditation.
Research has shown that many surgeries in Thailand cost about one-tenth of what they do in the United Sates where most of the health tourist come from. In the US for instance a dental bridge would cost somewhere around $5000 whereas in Thailand the cost would be $500.
Apart from traditional medical offering Thailand also offer a wide range of health spas and health clubs, and has therefore become Asia spa capital.
What has happened in Thailand is that a number of tour packages offered by travel agent now off medical checkups as part of the package. Now once visitors visit the country for health purposes they can come back and enjoy this lovely country to recuperate.
