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...
"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," said a member in Bangkok, Thailand.
