Question

HI .. and THANKS for your help !!

I'm planning to travel to THAILAND in NOVEMBER to have a number of cosmetic procedures done. The procedures I am planning (in order of importance) are as follows.

1. Hair Transplant
2. Extensive Dental Work (implants, crowns, veneers)
3. Rhinoplasty
4. Liposuction

I would appreciate any advice you can give me regarding the following.

i. Best hospital for one or more procedures

ii. Best Doctors for one or more procedures

iii. Expected costs

iv. Recommended accommodation during Recovery Phase.

Thank you VERY much for any information you can share.

Answer 1

Several publicly listted hospitals in BKK cater to "medical tourists".
Bumrungrad (access from Sukhumvit Sois 1 & 3) is one of the better ones althugh I do not have experience with the cosmetic procedures you mention.

As for dental work, Bumrungrad also has a dental clinic, but I recommend The Dental Hospital in Sukhumvit Soi 49 (opposite Villa Market), Tel [phone].

Answer 3

I have used Bumrungrad for physical therapy and medical doctors. I am there twice a week for treatment. I would rate them the best in Thailand. They also have wellness center and residence building. However, I was not pleased with the dental clinic. Although I only had cleaning done there, I was not satisfied.

Answer 4

Since I intend on living in thailand in the future. I have tried the Bangkok Dental Center on Ratchadapisek Road north of Downtown. Below is the link to the procedures, prices and number of visits and length of treatment, estimated.

I have worked with Dr. Onusa Waleepitackdej DDS., MSc.,
but, just for cleanings and fillings. She is a prothetics dentist. I have also dealt with another dentist who has since left the center and both were cordial and spoke english well and understood english.

Here's the link describing each Dentists certification.

There are a few hospitals that have 4 star rooms for a reasonable price. The best I have heard about is Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok.

I would suggest contacting them directly and emailing and talking to the particular doctor about each procedure.

The link below is a thai website listing many of the hospitals in Thailand.

Hi, when in Udon Thani I rent an apartment at AEK hospital ( deluxe 5000 baht month) en-suite,tv, ac,fridge and serviced daily. I noted the hospital is ISO 9001 and used by many farangs. Try looking at their website. NE is much cheaper than Bangkok
