Combining modern medicine with traditional Thai medicine, the Thai Medical Spa at Nakornthon Hospital applies a holistic and naturopathic approach to health and rejuvenation. The Spa’s medical team oversees programs for dermatology and laser skin treatment, orthopaedics, endocrinology, grastrology, obstetrics-gynecology, and nutrition. Modern medical techniques are combined with Thai herbals, massage, aromatherapy and meditation in a luxurious medical spa setting.

Thai Medical Spa publishes a price list for their spa services and their prices are similar to comparable services elsewhere in Bangkok, meaning they are a bargain. The list of services is extensive – a few samples include:
Service Duration Baht (USD)
Siam Herbal Facial 60 1,100 ($30)
Thai Herbal Compress Massage 90 550 ($16)
Dead Sea Salt Scrub 50 1,800 ($47)
Thai Herbal Body Wrap 50 1,400 ($37)

There are also spa packages available that combine a series of treatments and range in price from 3,000 baht ($79) to 8,600 baht ($226). A published price list for medical treatments is unavailable but again you should expect excellent value.

Cosmetic surgery can be an expensive and time consuming experience. When choosing to have a cosmetic procedure, you need to weigh all of your options carefully before committing to having the procedure done. While many people will save their money for years in order to get their cosmetic surgery done by the most trendy doctors in places like New York City and Los Angeles, other patients have found a way around this long wait and expense. More and more, people are taking vacation trips to other countries and combining these trips with cosmetic surgery procedures. When choosing cosmetic surgery, Thailand offers a lot more than just a cheaper place to have your procedure done. Surgeons at the Phuket Cosmetic Surgery Clinic are also world-renowned for a special type of cosmetic surgery – sex reassignment, or sex change, surgery. They are one of the few clinics in the world that offer this type of surgery, but they are certain not to take such a change in their patients’ appearance lightly. Anyone who wants sex reassignment surgery performed here must pass rigorous psychological studies and medical testing before the surgeons will consent to the procedure. Of course, the doctors of Phuket and other cities in Thailand perform many other types of cosmetic surgery, and the country also offers some of the best spa retreats in the world where you can relax and recover from your surgery in style.

You can also entertain yourself with the many cultural activities that Thailand has to offer, but you must remember some items before planning your trip. There is always some risk to cosmetic surgery, whether you choose to have it performed in the US or Thailand, so be careful to research your doctor and clinics thoroughly before leaving for your trip. Another issue may arise in the language barrier – be sure that you will have a translator available to help you communicate with medical staff, or that they speak English. Almost all of them speak great English, but we are talking about surgery here. If you keep in mind these few precautions, you can be sure your trip will be a successful one.
