  1. I always assumed that Thailand was the cheapest place for medical tourism. I had considered Thailand for some dental work but to my amazement I am getting the dental work done for near half the price in Hungary, plus the hotel accommodation is free when you exceed $3,000, which is the case for me. I was stunned. I also found that Eastern European countries understand economies of scale much better, all the dental surgeries I contacted offered significant discount on the treatment costs because I required so much work done whereas in Bangkok treatment cost equalled sum of all individual costs with no discount !!!!

    An example of this was:

    Dental implants in Thailand the cost with the crown was $1200

    In Budapest the cost for the same was 600 euro = $850

    However, 8 implants in Thailand was $9600

    whereas 8 implant package in Budapest was 4000 euro or about $6500.

    Thailand's image as a cheap alternative to western health systems is being eroded rapidly by huge price inflation in the country and by new cheaper medical tourist destinations in Asia, Middle East & Eastern Europe.

  2. I am a UK citizen, age 34, planning to relocate with my wife (UK citizen) & 2 children to Thailand. I don't have any plans to work in thailand as I derive my income from an online business outside of Thailand. We may wish to purchase/establish a business after a period of a year in Thailand if an opportunity presents itself. However, we wont have a letter of employment from an employer in Thailand to present when applying for a visa now. I would like to know what's the best visa to apply for? Thanks in advance.

  3. Thanks for all the replies.

    I have never been to Chiang Rai but will be coming for a few months at the end of May. The reason I asked the question is because dental implants are quite specialized and very few clinics do it, usually it is done in established cosmetic dental clinics. I was hoping for a recommendation and some prices.
