We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Thailand. They wrote...

"Thailand's healthcare system offers a wide range of medical services, from general clinical care to specialized surgeries and treatments. Hospitals in Thailand are well-equipped and staffed by highly-trained doctors, nurses and technicians. The vast majority of them offer telemedicine, lab tests and other services typically seen in international hospitals. In addition to traditional hospital-based services, Thailand also has a well-developed network of public health centers, health promotion centers and public pharmacies. These public and private centers provide a range of healthcare services including primary care and preventive care. Furthermore, Thailand has multiple health insurance providers, offering coverage to those needing financial assistance with healthcare costs," said a member in Thailand.

"We purchased medical insurance, called Thai Life, we have hospital stays only, as we are both healthy don't take any kind of meds. And we feel that it is very cheap for doctor visit, teeth cleaning, etc. We can pay out of pocket," remarked another expat who made the move to Nonthaburi, Thailand.
