Chinese Flocking Here For Plastic Surgery, Infertility Treatment

[webfact]

 

THE VISA-FREE access to Thailand by Chinese tourists has led a large number of them inquiring and then deciding to undergo plastic surgery, infertility treatment as well as general medical examination here, Matichon newspaper said this evening (Mar. 30).

 

Mr. Sitthi Panupattnapong, chairman of Synphaet Co. Lt.’s board of directors, said the visa waiver had turned the foreign medical market more lively with Chinese finding it convenient to fly here for treatment.

 

However patients from Middle Eastern countries usually come here for more difficult treatments including heart problems, cancer, gastrointestinal problems and knee replacement.

 

He added that of his company’s seven hospitals it is Synphaet Srinakarin that treats foreign patients with most of them being from Taiwan and the Middle East.

Yeah, when I think cosmetic surgery I think S.Korea. Pretty ubiquitous here though. Cheaper, I guess.
