mikeymike100 3630 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Well with the expected influx of Chinese we have all been hearing about and the expected rise in Covid infections, they could be right? But once again instead of mentioning the level of service, potential patients could expect, they seem only interested in money? "the medical tourism sector too has started to bounce back and is expected to generate 25 billion baht revenue in the new year, INN News said this morning (Jan. 5)." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism 8285 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) In 2019 thailand medical tourism was around $9bln so this 25bln thb is a small fraction Somehow they have missed to mention how many those tourists they do expect More likely figure 25 bln is from a thin air, random figure. Especially, if not compared to 2022 and 2019. some article I have just looked at mentions 2022 at $5.8bln. So projection for 2023 looks like only a small increase.

Screaming 1145 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I had an ultra-sound today at a Thai hospital. I was just about ready to enter the radiology room when they wheeled in a foreigner in a wheel chair that was covered in blood. I had to wait my turn (1 Hour) to have my test after the battered and bloody foreigner was finished. I asked this guy what happened to him and of course he was in a motorbike accident. I wonder how many foreigners come to Thailand for "Medical Tourism" concerning motorbike accidents. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoutfella 150 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 With all the different categories of tourist Thailand is expecting to receive in the next 12 months I get the feeling that the whole world will soon be visiting Thailand annually. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
