What it costs

What you'll likely pay as a visitor in Bangkok.

Public / state

500–1,500 THB ($14–$42)

Private hospital

3,000–8,000 THB ($83–$220)

Specialist clinic

1,500–4,000 THB ($41–$110)

Full body check

15,000–60,000 THB ($410–$1,650) (Bumrungrad, Samitivej, BNH)

Insurance

Most international policies cover Bangkok's private hospitals. Bumrungrad and Samitivej accept direct billing with Cigna Global, Allianz Care, Bupa Global, AXA, Aetna International and IMG. Bring your card.

Prices and billing arrangements are estimates, not confirmed with any hospital or insurer — direct-billing agreements change over time. Confirm both with your own insurer before you travel and at the desk before you're treated.

Ask for the international desk. It exists in every major Bangkok hospital.
