Examples of Treatment Pricing in Thailand

This list will help you get a general idea of the kinds of pricing available for various medical treatments and procedures in Thailand.  These are only estimates, and may not reflect the quote you receive from any particular hospital.

Do keep in mind that it is possible to haggle prices at some hospitals, and different hospitals may be more or less expensive.

Thailand has a socialized medical system and visits to public hospitals are generally free for Thai citizens.  Because of this, public hospitals keep their prices low.  Private hospitals generally cost more but offer faster appointment times and English language interpreters.

Bumrungrad International Hospital, Bangkok Hospital Group, and Samitivej Hospitals are leading private medical facilities in Thailand gaining global recognition. Since the early 2000s, these hospitals have actively pursued medical tourism, attracting a significant number of international patients (30-50%). For many foreigners, the cost of treatment in these hospitals is considerably lower than in their home countries. However, most Thai citizens find the prices prohibitive due to lower average salaries in Thailand.

Heart Bypass Surgery$20,500 USD (starting cost)
Hip Replacement (1 side)$11,800 USD (starting cost)
Full-Body Checkup$350 to $600 USD (in Bangkok hospitals)
MRI Scan$750 to $1,800 USD (full-body scan)
Basic Check-up$20 to $100 USD
Hysterectomy (uterus removal)$2,300 to $5000
Myomectomy (removal of uterine fibroids)$3,700
Cancer Treatment (Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy)$5,000 to $15,000
Spinal Fusion$7,000
Knee Replacement$10,000

  1. Thank you for this information. It is very helpful!

    I can attest that for cancer treatment at Chulalongkorn Hospital, these figures are correct. In September 2024, I had 26 rounds of Radiation and 4 rounds of Chemotherapy and I was quoted and charged 300,000baht.

    Remember, the cost of treatment is discounted if you pay cash and get reimbursement from your insurance. If you have treatment direct billed, you’ll run out of coverage faster.

    Also, I paid 12,000 baht for my MRI at Bangkok Christian Hospital.

    Good luck and Thanks again!
