Please recommend surgeons by name and/or hospitals.

It appears to be a quite long process to get one:

I believe your best bet would be to inquire at the university hospitals, such as Chula, Siriraj (Mahidol) and Ramathibodi. That way, you would get access to the best Doctors the country has to offer.

Siriraj has a private hospital section, the Doctors and some of the reception staff will speak English.

Chula has a private clinic too, but probably not suitable in your case. Ramathibodi has one too as Sheryl has posted recently, though I have never used them.

Go to Siriraj in person as they will never reply to emails.

 

Bumrungrad has some excellent surgeons too, but they come with a price tag.

Avoid by all means a certain hospital in Phetburi Soi 47.

 

If money is no concern, go to Singapore. If money is a major concern, try to google for a place to do that in India

You'd probably be better off posting this in the Health Forum.

Thanks very much for all the responses so far. Ya, I agree. Teaching hospitals would probably be the best bet - Ramathibodi seems to have done the most transplants. Statistics for lung transplants are much the same internationally. They don't look great. Sixty % mortality in the 1st 1-5 years after transplanation. Enquiring for a family friend outside Thailand. 

 

Am in touch with Ramathibodi cardiovascular-thoracic department but doctor has not got back. Will go down in person.

Someone who works at Bunmrungand once told me foreigners cannot get organ transplants in Thailand.

That is an interesting statement.

I wonder if Sheryl can confirm that
