Hastaneler — Khok Makok

Most nationalities get 30-60 days of visa-free entry to Thailand (recently extended to 60 days for 93 nationalities). The Medical Treatment Visa allows up to 90 days, extendable up to 1 year for chronic-care patients. The hospital's international patient department arranges the medical-visa support letter on request.

Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK) handle direct flights from 100+ cities — every Asian capital, every major Australian city, the GCC, and a growing list of European long-hauls (Heathrow, CDG, FRA, ZRH, IST). Phuket and Chiang Mai have direct international connectivity for region-specific medical clusters.

Bangkok's medical hospitality is unmatched — Bumrungrad runs a partner InterContinental, BNH connects to Siri Sathorn, Samitivej operates dedicated recovery suites. Phuket's medical hotels include the Bangkok Hospital Phuket complex. Plan 10-14 days in-country between discharge and the flight home.

Bangkok is hot-humid year-round (28-35°C). Cool-dry season is November-February — preferred for surgical recovery. April-May (hot-dry) and June-October (rainy) are less comfortable. Phuket and Krabi have a similar profile but with sea-breeze relief.
