After Bangkok Southern Thailand is slowly becoming a major destination for

and health care tourism. Prices are low, the hospitals / laboratory good equipped and the doctors and nurses doing a good job, especially on this kind of examinations since the data are coming from the analyze instruments and the health care / laboratory / hospital data interpretation is relatively easy. A new service is hair laser removal, done quick and efficent.
 
A typical basic checkup in a Phuket hospital is between 6000 and 8000 baht ( 1 US$ is about 40 baht, 1 EURO is about 50 Baht in the moment).

Maybe you take a insurance medical temporary to handle this. hair laser removal is a top issue, give it a try.

Very popular are all medical activities related to beauty, that means plastic surgery (a real big business in Thailand and amazing affordably, usually you pay only a fraction of the price they ask in Europe, USA or similar countries). Even on simple plastic surgery in THailand like nose correction, eye lid correction (also because of age) face lift etc. the prices are quite low in Thailand, usually you can pay the whole plastic surgery procedure and make 2 weeks holiday afterwards and all together is still cheaper than the medical procedure alone in Europe etc.

You also can get interesting  life insurance quotes, give it a try.

For the very cost conscious on plastic surgery they can even go to clinics like one in Surat Thani Thailand and get a good nose correction for about baht 5000,- . But as usual those low cost ones have some strings attached. After the plastic surgery operation the doctor will give you some antibiotics, pain reliever and a pack of ice and off you go, you can sit down outside for a while, but it works, they do it a dozen of time everyday. Similar is breast enlargement (more expensive) and other.

Phuket Thailand is also a somehow famous destination for transsexual plastic surgery. People come from all over the globe to have it done.

It's worth to give a thought to medical care, hospitals, plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, eyelid surgery, breast enlargement, abdominoplastic, liposuction, sex reassignment, face lift, medical check up, southern Thailand. 

In any case a insurance medical temporary will help. Somehow life insurance quotes are not so bad.

This doesn't apply anymore to everything around dental health care. The dental business has been highly targeted by dentists mainly of Chinese origin and this guys and ladies primarily consider you as a sitting cash cow, they are partly even more expensive than in Europe or Singapore. If you are a Thai they charge around 50% of the price they charge to a "farang". This reminds of only a couple of years ago when most restaurants and other venues had 2 menus, the same stuff  for "farang" and the same for Thais for about 50% less, on life insurance quotes there is not much difference.

Another example, I went to the " Bangkok Phuket Hospital" the other day - quite a big Hospital in Phuket and had something done for baht 1800,- , I had the same stuff done 6 month before in -The International Hospital-  in Phuket for 680 baht. The conclusion is don't trust anyone  they mostly try to take advantage of you. If you don't have a emergency case bargain with the hospital - health care - medical care- people and be taught, check some hospitals to get a reasonable price otherwise they really "pull you over the table" badly, be aware that all people here have mostly one thing in the head when they have something to do with a "farang" this is pull money as much and as quick as possible.

It's worth to give a thought to medical care, hospitals, plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, eyelid surgery, breast enlargement, abdominoplastic, liposuction, sex reassignment, face lift, medical check up, southern Thailand.
