Frequently Asked Questions – Medical Tourism from Los Angeles to Bangkok
1. Why do people from Los Angeles travel to Thailand for surgery?
Because Thailand offers world-class hospitals, highly skilled surgeons, and modern technology at a fraction of US prices. Even after flight and hotel costs, most patients save 50–70% compared to procedures in California. In addition, Bangkok is known for excellent post-surgery recovery hotels and English-speaking medical staff.
2. How much can I save on surgery or health treatments in Bangkok?
Typical savings range between 50% and 70% compared to Los Angeles prices. For example, a facelift in Thailand starts around USD 4,900 while similar procedures in California can cost over USD 15,000. Dental implants and health check-ups also cost 50–60% less.
3. Are the hospitals in Bangkok safe and internationally accredited?
Yes. Most partner hospitals in Bangkok are JCI-accredited (Joint Commission International), which means they follow the same safety and quality standards as hospitals in the United States. Many surgeons are US- or UK-trained and fluent in English.
4. What is included in a Bangkok Health Service medical package?
All packages include airport transfers, hotel accommodation, hospital appointments, surgery or treatment, follow-up visits, and 24/7 English support. You only need to book your flights — we handle the rest.
5. How do I pay for my treatment?
Payment is made directly at the hospital on the day of the check-up or admission. You can pay by credit card or cash in Thai Baht (THB). No pre-payment is required before your arrival unless specifically noted for surgery bookings.
6. Can I combine my surgery with a vacation in Thailand?
Absolutely. Many clients spend a few recovery days at Thailand’s top destinations such as Hua Hin, Koh Samui, Phuket, or Chiang Mai. Bangkok Health Service can organize a complete post-surgery wellness or recovery stay.
7. How long should I plan to stay in Bangkok after surgery?
It depends on the procedure. Most cosmetic surgeries require 10–14 days for proper recovery before flying home. Non-surgical health check-ups can be completed within 2–3 days.
8. Do I need a visa for medical treatment in Thailand?
US citizens automatically receive a 30-day tourist visa upon arrival. If your treatment takes longer, Bangkok Health Service will assist with the visa extension — included in the package service.
