You have been brainwashed into believing that Thai medicine is behind the times.  The majority of the hospitals have top end and new equipment, ergo Medical Tourism...try again.  People think this is still a thrid worls country and not a developing country.  You say it is a developing country and ergo why the doctors and medical staff, for the most part are trained to the same standards as in the US.  Many of the doctors here have trained in the US, like my endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, and orthopedist.  MRI Machines are available, well at least her in BKK and then in Udon Thani, so your claims are baseless.

 

Yes there are no social service safety nets for Thai's, yet they can still obtain long covid treatment, like there is no prostitution in America, or Europe.....stay on topic.  Mask wearing by the Asean Communities has been done for years, like the doctors offices I visited in California many times in the early 2000's, they had a separate entrance for those that had or suspected they had viruses, and separate seating rooms, and had masks available if you wanted one.

 

I am referring to ordinary Thais, for example, the vendors in wet markets with stinky live chickens and pot hole floors, and the cleaning ladies earning 500 B/day with no fringe benefits.  Western retirees with usd2000+ per month, and tourist with 50,000usd emergency medical insurance are not ordinary Thais.  

 

Do ordinary Thais using 30B medical benefits have access to  Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery ? ?

In the USA, even poor people living on government benefits have access to Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery.  

 

Yes, the showcase government hospitals in BKK, Chiangmai and Udon Thani have in house MRI.

But how about the big government hospitals in poor provinces that no tourist ever goes to ? 

Do those hospitals have the $$ for an in house MRI ? 

 

Even now when I go to stinky wet markets to buy baby bananas, I can still easily spot 60+ year old local people with swollen ankles.  The condition was common in the USA up until 30 years ago, but not anymore due to the advancement of hypotension and heart medicines.   

 

All I am saying is " Advance medicine takes much $$ to develop. " 

Just look at the covid vaccines the ordinary Thais have easy access to.  It is not mRNA vaccines.   

 

I do not look down at the ordinary Thais because with some bad luck, I could be one of them.
