What booking through Flymedi adds

Clinics set their prices and carry out your treatment. Flymedi is free for patients and adds support around it.

Read how we verify doctors and the facilities where they operate.

Why patients choose Thailand

  • Hospitals used to international patients. The US State Department notes that Thailand has many elective and cosmetic surgery facilities, and good facilities for routine and emergency care in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya.
  • Lower listed prices. For many treatments, clinic prices in Thailand are lower than in Australia, the US or the UK. How much you save depends on the treatment and on what the offer includes, so compare listed prices and what they cover.
  • Licenses you can check. Doctors need a license from the Medical Council of Thailand, and private hospitals and clinics need one from the Ministry of Public Health.
  • Care in English. Most clinics listed on Flymedi in Thailand name English among the languages they speak, and each clinic card shows them.

Flymedi lists verified clinics in Thailand for plastic surgery (including gender-affirming surgery), dental treatment, hair transplants, weight-loss surgery, fertility treatment and eye care.

Where in Thailand: cities with listed clinics

No single hospital suits everyone. Compare clinics by the specialty you need, the doctor who will treat you and the aftercare they offer.

  • Bangkok. The capital, where most listed clinics are: hospitals and clinics for plastic surgery, weight-loss surgery, hair transplants, fertility treatment and eye care, and dental clinics.
  • Phuket. An island on the Andaman Sea, with listed dental and hair transplant clinics.
  • Chiang Mai. In the north, with listed dental clinics. The State Department notes that farm burning from about February to late April causes days of unhealthy air there, so if you have a lung or heart condition, ask your doctor about timing.

Is medical tourism in Thailand safe?

Medical tourism is common in Thailand, and the US State Department notes good facilities in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya. It also says that the quality of care at elective and cosmetic surgery facilities varies widely, and Australia's Smartraveller warns that standards at discount and uncertified clinics can be poor. Legal options after malpractice are very limited in Thailand, the State Department adds, so check the clinic and the doctor before you book, not only the price.

How to check a clinic before you book

  1. Your doctor holds a current license from the Medical Council of Thailand. You can search its online register in English by first name and surname. Dentists are licensed by the Dental Council of Thailand.
  2. The hospital or clinic holds the license from the Ministry of Public Health that every private facility needs. If you are having surgery, emergency care is available where you are treated.
  3. Your treatment plan, the price and what it includes are in writing before you travel.
  4. Your travel insurance covers complications from planned treatment and medical evacuation. Basic travel policies rarely cover medical tourism.
  5. Aftercare and revision terms are in writing, and reviews come from verified patients. See how we verify doctors and how reviews work on Flymedi.

Government travel advice for Thailand differs by region and by the country that issues it. The US advisory (Level 1, issued July 7, 2026) asks for increased caution near the Cambodian border and in Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat, and Australia's Smartraveller and the UK's FCDO are stricter about the same areas. Flymedi's listed clinics are in Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai; check your own government's current advice before you book.

How to plan your treatment in Thailand

  1. Share your case

    Tell us your goals and your medical history, with photos or X-rays where they help. If you see a doctor at home, ask whether the treatment suits you and share what they say.
  2. Compare offers, not headline prices

    Check what each offer includes: treatment only, or hospital stay, hotel, transfers and follow-up visits as well. Check who performs the procedure and where.
  3. Consult before you book

    Speak to the surgeon or dentist by video before you commit. Get the treatment plan and the price in writing.
  4. Check entry rules

    Visa-free entry for many passports, including US, UK, Australian and EU ones, is for tourism, for up to 30 days. Thailand also issues a visa for medical treatment. Ask the Royal Thai Embassy which applies, and check that your permitted stay covers your recovery.
  5. Plan your stay

    Stay as long as your doctor recommends, including until you are cleared for a long flight home. Each treatment page explains recovery for that procedure, and our pre-op guide covers what to do before you travel.
  6. Plan aftercare at home

    Know your medication, when your follow-up checks are and who to contact: your coordinator and the clinic. Tell your own doctor about the treatment when you are home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does treatment in Thailand cost?
It depends on the treatment, the clinic and what the offer includes. Flymedi shows clinics' listed starting prices in the price table on this page, each labeled "Treatment only" or "All-inclusive package". Your final price comes after the clinic assesses your case, and you get it in writing.
What does a treatment package in Thailand usually include?
It varies by clinic. Some offers cover the treatment only; others add the hospital stay, transfers and hotel nights, but rarely flights. Check the written offer for exactly what is covered, and what happens to the price if you need to stay longer.
How and when do I pay?
You pay a deposit to Flymedi to hold your treatment date, and it is deducted from the clinic's total. You pay the balance to the clinic on arrival, before treatment (see payment plans). Thai hospitals usually ask for payment before any extra care or admission, so ask how that works.
Do I need a visa for medical treatment in Thailand?
It depends on your passport and how long you stay. Since September 15, 2026, visa-free entry for US, UK, Australian, Canadian and EU passports is for tourism, for up to 30 days, and Thailand also issues a visa for medical treatment. Ask the Royal Thai Embassy which applies, and complete the online arrival card before you fly.
How long should I stay in Thailand after my procedure?
As long as your doctor recommends. It depends on the procedure and on how you recover, and it includes the time before you are cleared to fly home. Long flights need extra margin, so check that your permitted stay covers it.
Do doctors and staff speak English?
Usually, at clinics that treat international patients. Most clinics listed on Flymedi in Thailand name English among the languages they speak, and each clinic card shows them. English-speaking providers are rare outside the main cities, so plan your follow-up visits where you are treated.
Will my insurance or Medicare cover treatment in Thailand?
Usually not. US Medicare usually doesn't cover care abroad and Australia's Medicare doesn't cover you overseas, so check any other plan before you book. Basic travel insurance rarely covers medical tourism, so look for a policy that covers complications from planned treatment and medical evacuation, and read what it excludes.
Can I bring a companion?
Yes, and Australia's Smartraveller advises taking someone with you, because they can support you and help make decisions if you need it. Ask whether your offer covers a companion's hotel stay and transfers, and check the entry rules for your companion too.
What happens if I need help after I get home?
Tell your coordinator, who stays your contact after treatment and raises your concern with the clinic. If your surgeon confirms a revision is needed, we arrange it under the clinic's revision policy in your written offer. For urgent symptoms, go to the emergency department, and tell your own doctor about the treatment.
Is Flymedi free to use?
Yes, Flymedi is free for patients. Clinics pay us a fee when a patient they treated came through Flymedi, and the price you are quoted is the price the clinic charges. See how Flymedi works.
