The cost of medical treatments and procedures in Bangkok is generally lower, making it a popular destination for medical tourism. Public hospitals offer low-cost services, but they may have longer waiting times and language barriers. Private hospitals, on the other hand, provide higher quality care and English-speaking staff, but at a higher cost.
