Why Fly to thailand from Oz if its only a a straight forward operation,for example arthroscopy or meniskus damage , can be done privately in lots of sport injury clinics in oz very reasonably, prices start from 880 dollars australian for arthroscopy, Ihad a complete knee rebuild ,costs with physio, from wo to go 2,400dollars this was all private no medicare, only advantage phuket has is the nurses are prettier nignoy

Can you give me a little more detail about your knee rebuild? Did you have a knee replacement? Were you an inpatient or out? A total knee replacement in the States is as high as $40,000. Thanks

Below is a link to a current price list from a Bangkok hospital:
