According to Thailand tourism management expert Dr.
Lempert, Thailand in the early 2000’s, used to be 60% cheaper in their medical
services than other countries such as Malaysia and Singapore. Now, Thailand is
still ranked in the top 10 destinations for medical tourism but prices have
risen to the same costs as Singapore.
Not only has Thailand lost its unique selling point
as an affordable medical tourist destination but all the medical services and
hospitals no longer function under one umbrella. Wealthy Thai families have
privatized certain businesses and do not collaborate with each other. Dr. Lempert
regards this as one of the reasons the quality of medical tourism in Thailand
has declined.
For more information on the state of Thailand's medical
tourism from the pioneer himself, watch Thai Law Forum’s interview with Dr. Lempert from Paranorma Medica Group.
