How this list is ordered
What decides the order
Hospitals are sorted by these database fields, in this order. Nothing else is weighted.
We do not score outcomes, surgeon case volume or publications. Ask each hospital for surgeon-level case numbers before you decide.
- 1Centre-of-excellence flag
Hospitals marked as a centre of excellence for this specialty come first.
- 2Patient rating
A higher average rating ranks higher.
- 3Number of reviews
Breaks ties between hospitals with the same rating.
- 4Lowest listed price
For a single procedure, a lower listed starting price breaks any remaining tie.
What this list isn't
Rating ≠ outcome
A hospital ranking is a qualifying filter, not a prediction of your outcome. Within any listed hospital, your outcome is shaped by your specific surgeon's volume, the program's protocol for your indication, and your own clinical baseline. Always ask for surgeon-level data — case volume per year, conversion rate, infection rate — before committing.

Why patients choose Thailand for ercp (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) (gi surgery)
Thailand pioneered modern Asian medical tourism — Bumrungrad, Bangkok Hospital, Samitivej, and BNH have been receiving international patients since the late 1990s, and Bangkok now sees over 1.4 million international medical visitors annually. The country's strength is in oncology, cardiology, orthopedic, dental, fertility, and gender-affirmation care, with 60+ JCI-accredited hospitals concentrated in Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Pattaya. For ercp (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography), Thailand wins on a combination of clinical maturity, English fluency in private hospitals, and an unmatched recovery infrastructure of medical-grade hotels and serviced apartments adjacent to flagship hospitals.
- 01
Length-of-stay friendliness — most Thai hospitals work directly with attached hotels (Bumrungrad–InterContinental, BNH–Siri Sathorn) so the recovery-period transition out of inpatient care is seamless.
- 02
60+ JCI-accredited hospitals — a higher concentration per capita than any Asian country except Singapore.
- 03
Visa policy: most nationalities get 30-60 day visa-free entry, and the new Medical Treatment Visa allows up to a year for chronic-care patients.
- 04
Bangkok's airport (BKK) is a global hub — direct flights from 100+ cities mean attendant family members can fly in for surgery week without itinerary acrobatics.
Cost note. Thailand's ~30-50% savings vs US/UK come from baht parity and a deep local supply of nurses, ICU staff, and rehab therapists — not from process shortcuts.
How to use this list
What to look for
- Pre-op nutritional optimization protocol.
- Anastomotic leak rate published (5-10% typical at experienced centers).
- Conversion rate (lap-to-open) for your procedure type.
- ICU and intermediate care availability.
- Multi-disciplinary review for cancer cases.
- Pathology lab integration.

Travel timing
When to travel to Thailand
Peak window: November, December, January, February
Avoid: April, May, September, October
Cool, dry season is November–February — best for recovery and travel. April–May is peak hot season (35–40°C) which is uncomfortable for recovery. June–October is monsoon; not strictly bad for recovery but disruptive for outdoor activities. Bangkok specifically has good year-round indoor infrastructure.
