As a foreigner living in Bangkok, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Bangkok if they have access to public healthcare in Bangkok. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Bangkok, you will have access to public healthcare, but it might not be as comprehensive as the healthcare provided to Thai citizens. Public hospitals in Bangkok are generally well-equipped and staffed with qualified medical professionals, but they can be crowded and have long waiting times. Additionally, communication might be a challenge as not all staff members may be fluent in English. It is also important to note that public healthcare in Thailand is not free for foreigners, so you will need to pay for the services you receive. Many expats and foreigners living in Bangkok opt for private healthcare or international health insurance to ensure a higher standard of care and better access to English-speaking medical professionals," said another in Bangkok, Thailand.
