Medical care in Thailand

It's getting more and more popular for people from other countries to seek medical and rehabilitation in Thailand. There are no qeues, the doctors and nurses are friendly and accommodating and it's all very inexpensive compared to Europe/US.The medical staff in Thailand are very well educated, experienced and competent.Many of the doctors have graduated from medical schools in the US.Medical care in Thailand has gained high respect and recognition among the medical community. More and more western doctors are moving to Thailand to work and live in a warm climate. ”The natural catastrophe" could have paralyzed Thailand's medical services, but it didn't. Not only did the staff treat injured people but they were also open and kind towards foreign authorities who wanted information and insight," I'm not sure that we could have managed that" says Swedish doctor Goran Wallin who was in Phuket after the tsunami wave. He was very impressed by the kindness and efforts he and other doctors encountered in Phuket and the knowledge and high level that Thai medical service offered.

Inexpensive

Nursing homes barely exist in Thailand as Thai people take care of the elderly themselves until they die. Children and relatives are taking care of the elderly and they are treated while in the home. Thai people can't understand how many countries put  the elderly in nursing homes when they are too old to take care of themselves. The respect for the elderly is very high and for them it's natural that you should take care of your parents as they took care of you when you were small.

Don´t forget insurance

At Scandinavian Lagoon Resort you don't have to worry if you become ill. You will be treated in exactly the same manner you would be treated in your own country if not better. Dental care is also very inexpensive in Thailand, around 70 percent chealess than in Europe/US. Don't forget insurance before you move to Thailand, you should get  good travel insurance as the cost medical care in Thailand is less but it's not  free. We can help you to choose the best insurance.
