Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Bangkok if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"I have not needed to travel outside of Bangkok to see specialists or for serious health issues," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Bangkok, Thailand.
"Yes, there are a good number of medical specialists in Bangkok. People in Bangkok have access to a wide range of medical specialists, including cardiologists, neurologists, oncologists, and orthopedic surgeons. For highly specialized medical care, people in Bangkok often go to one of the city's many private hospitals, such as Bumrungrad International Hospital, Bangkok Hospital, and Samitivej Hospital. These hospitals offer advanced medical treatments and technologies, as well as highly trained medical staff," commented one expat who made the move to Bangkok, Thailand.
