Join me for a Bangkok Hospital Tour. I will give you an overview of the Bangkok International Hospital, one of the more popular options for Medical Tourism in Thailand, providing world class healthcare at reasonable prices.
Yes there are much cheaper (and very good) options for visiting doctors in Bangkok and across Thailand, and I will make a future video about that. This video, however, introduces you to a premier option that does cost more but is still quite affordable.
Bangkok Hospital provides ease of use that is tough to match, offering you the ability to get world class health care with English speaking doctors and nurses.
I also show you the best place to eat lunch if you end up visiting this hospital. A delicious bowl of noodles!
And as a bonus, you'll get a tour of a rental apartment just steps from the hospital.
As always, prices are shown for everything, and here are some links to help you find the featured places in this video:

here's a tour of a different (and cheaper) hospital in bangkok: th-cam.com/video/apQ5LwMN8lY/w-d-xo.html
I can do this zero bucks India
Can you give me the information about the cost of lung cancer patient for check up purpose in Bangkok hospital !
@@vazipokan2761 We have for free too in government hospitals/clinics with the use of social security. Including foreigners with work permits.
I am Thai, I just want to inform all Thai people(if they dont have much money)can go to the government hospital for treatment,without having to pay anything. If you want better service You can go to a private hospital, of course,it is more expensive. This is another reason why i love my country very much.
Kun Lek, I am Thai also, born in Bangkok but grew up in Los Angeles..... it's been a long time and now I am longing for Thailand......
Will live part time in Bangkok in a couple of years.....
I miss my motherland so much.... 🥺🥺🥺
your motherland is an amazing place!
Twin Jalanugraha - love your country so much
Lek Raththaphon ค่ารักษาพยาบาลคนต่างชาติ จะบวกเป็น 2 เท่าของคนไทยครับ ( ในกรณีใช้บริการโงพยาบาลของรัฐ ไม่ว่าจะ เป็นคนลาว กัมพูชา พม่า ดับเบิ้ลหมดครับ )
When its citizens love the country, they will build a better place each day, congratulations.
I was in Sydney for 10 years and 1 year in New Zealand compared with Thailand in my opinions hospital in Thailand is more advanced than Australian and NZ. In New Zealand to get my CT scan I have to wait for 45 days in Thailand I just walk in and get it done in one day. It is next level fo convenience.
I agree with you I'm from the USA and living in Thailand for the pass 10 years I have been in Bangkok hospitals 4 times and very pleased with my stay especial St Louis Hospital very professional in everyway.
FACT I live in Gold Coast
Why waiting for too long 45 days ? Doctor is on vacation ?
@@pataidee1115 😂 lol
Normal. In Austria If it isn't a urgently needed MR Scan it's tough to get it in under 1 months Time if you do not now any doctor's or other hospital contact's.
Thanks for sharing this. I had a similar experience in Bangkok in 2016. Different hospital, but just as good. My wife had a minor medical emergency. She was able to get an examination, lab tests, prescriptions, etc. Everyone in the hospital spoke excellent English. Total cost, including 3 prescriptions, was US$48. When they told us the cost, the first words out of my mouth were, "We could retire here."
Thanks for sharing this information.
Well come
Your well come.
Welcome to Thailand 💕🇹🇭 Khob Khun ka 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
People so nice and polite, I strongly consider retire there maybe find beautiful thai wife.
The nurses and doc seemed so sweet and nice!
They were very kind. Not surprised as Thailand has some of the kindest, warmest people in the world in my opinion.
They are amazing and provide first class service.
They are nice. I’m so proud that I was one of Bangkok hospital team. I was a nurse and now living in Alberta, CA.
@@RetiredWorkingForYou of course! If you are rich they will very respect you but if you are poor so... opposite things!
@@Thaifoodforyou let say this if you walk in to this hospital they're will be nice and polite with you the people there got treat to service the visitors.. I could say this because I'm their customer sometimes and also visited for some proposed.. for the government hospital yeah service were different... anyway sometimes the doctor visited my dad at home without cost because they're don't want everyone at the hospital...
$65 for just doing ears check is quite expensive in Thailand. But this is a 5-stars hospital, so basically you pay for the premium service. Normally 3-4 stars private hospital should cost you around $25 - $40 and their service is pretty good. For government hospital, Thai citizen can get it check up for free, but the place is always crowded.
amazing comment. my hope with this channel is that each video STARTS a conversation that others add to. so your useful information added onto this topic is EXACTLY what i'm hoping we get more of here. cheers!
@verber nouner which gov hospital did you visit ?
@@RetiredWorkingForYou What you failed to mention is that 1820 thb is YOUR price since you're a foreigner. A Thai person will probably pay 50% of that. Discrimination is what it is but what can ya do.
Dean BKK lol he went to a private hospital and that price is normal even Thai citizens have pay as equal as foreigners.
@@DeanBKK Thai people pay this price
No discrimination
Hospital in Thailand 🇹🇭 are like hotels very clean and helpful staff
But not government hospital if you want good service andiiry less people, if you not have money and good doctor you should go to government hospital .
You are talking about private hospitals which most Thais have never experienced in their lifetime
@@BossOneRock well only if you are poor
Sitthichat Sukpholtham But there are 50/50 Thais-foreigners in bangkok hospital though.
Yes it's true, im thai people hospital in thailand is good .
There are plenty of 5 star hospitals in thailand. Bangkok hospital is one of them. There's also a 7 star hospital in bangkok called Bamrungraj hospital which you should try.
Ian Masso 👍🏼 BIH is great indeed. Full package come with great services.
It's actually spelled Bumrungrad
Bumrungrad and Samitivej
Or the new Siriraj private one nice architecture but nurses service needs improvement
Bumrungrad International is considered by some as the best hospital in the world. I have been a patient at both Bumrungrad and Bangkok Hospital and there is no question, Bumrungrad is better.
Spot on my man!! My "go to" BKK hospital is Bumrungrad, but any private hospital in BKK just puts USA health care to shame. A few years back I arrived at Bumrungrad at about 10am on a Monday with shoulder pain. That day they did exam, X-ray, MRI, blood test, total prep for the shoulder surgery that happened at 5am the next day. Just so efficient it's crazy. Currently building a house in a village up in Phetchabun Province....just love LOS!!!!!!
amazing comment. my hope with this channel is that each video STARTS a conversation that others add to. so your useful information added onto this topic is EXACTLY what i'm hoping we get more of here. cheers!
Nice!
I had a serious surgery to my back in Bangkok, a few years ago.
Best hospital I’ve ever been to.
I was told, the best Doctor on the planet.
I’m not lame ! and probably better than ever. So I believe it was true.
Roughly 30.000 us$, is cheap for a new life 🤗
When Thailand opens, I start looking for a dental hospital.
I am Canadian citizen i married thai girl 4 year's ago now is terrible covid 19 i can't come back to Thailand ,great to hear from you

I was born in Ubon Ratchathani in a public hospital. My father is a Thai citizen and my mom is a Pakistani. While my birth, the doctor had to do a C-section, and my dad was not present and the hospital required that there must be someone from my family to sign the consent form. As there was no one, so the doctor himself signed the consent form and took all the responsibility. Such a gentleman he was. My total respect to that doctor (an angel for us). I am so much obliged and indebted to Thailand (my country) and its people. Long live Thailand.
P.S: The public hospital of 1990's Ubon Ratchathani was still far better than a private hospital of 2022's Pakistan.
This is how Thais beat Covid-19. Temperature check. Check in app. All Chairs locate far apart. I miss Thailand.
Extract cotton from deep in my ear at Samitivej Hospital 1200 Thai Baht (included exam); Ear exam and hearing test at Chulalongkorn Hospital (Governmen hospital) last year 750 Thai Baht. Full heart evaluation less angiogram at Piyavate Hospital 11000 Thai baht. All good hospitals and excellent treatment from skilled doctors using modern equipment.
Thanks for much for these details. It's people like you who are sharing this information and adding to the videos that are what this channel is all about!
At public hospital like Chulalongkorn Hospital, Ramathibodi Hospital. They also have evening clinic (less busy). It is more expensive than normal rate but cheaper than Private hospital also good quality.
on behalf of Thai people I would like to thank you to you for the gorgeous video clip representing Thailand to the world.
The best dentist in America is ranked 31 worldwide while Bangkok has 3 in the top 10. I used to fly there for root canals and crowns for $250-300 each which is 10x less than the USA
Got to love Thailand. The lady showing you the house. Amazing!!
I'm always surprised by the people here and how open and welcoming they can be.
@verber nouner But imagine he did this in other country...... no place like Thailand.
That's a savvy lady, free advertising. Very cheap rent too. I've stayed in hotels that costs more than $120 per night for a double room... She give the whole place for the same price, well decorated and furnished.
OMG!! $65
expensive or cheap?
@@RetiredWorkingForYou am forgot to put "only"...yup is so cheap
สวัสดีคับพี่
สวัสดีครับพี่จิโร่
Low cost but high quality❤️
I'm from USA just spent 4 days in St Louis Hospital I was very impressed and happy with my stay very good Hospital.The price of my stay was very reasonable great hospital.
thanks for the comment!
St Louis Hospital in BKK Thailand
I'm a Thai man live in Bangkok, i have a problem with my blood pressure and Diabetes need to see the doctor every two months. And the costs for doctor, nurse, blood analysis and tons of medicine that i have to eat everyday along next two months before i came back to see doctor again is 30 Baht (1 dollar). 😁😁😁
Greatly appreciate the post and all the information regarding health costs in Thailand. We knew it was very affordable but this is something else...not only you got excellent service but the whole experience felt more like a day in a resort than a medical visit. Keep the great work Chris!
One of your younger subscribers here! Completely amazed by the quality of your videos (I'm guessing you film and edit your own videos), Incredibly enthusiastic and you show passion for filming. I want to tell you to keep it up Chris! You will go so far on this platform with your talent, consistency is key.
It's good if you made an appointment before you go to the hospital. but if you suddenly feel sick and you want to see the doctor ASAP just walk-in. It's okay. you'll get a check-up on that day anyway. I say this because I know that in some countries if it's not an urgent case, you need to make an appointment first then you have to wait for a few days to see a doctor. it's super easy to see a doctor in Thailand.
BUT!!! It's another way around if you want to see a doctor in a public hospital. There are a large number of patients in a public hospital so you need to be early. A public hospital is great. It's cheaper than a private hospital and doctors are skillful since there are tons of cases in their hands.
Now maybe you question the ability of doctors in private hospitals, are they skillful enough?
Don't worried. Because almost every doctor in a private hospital has worked for a public hospital as well.
So they've been through numerous cases before.
Even the fresh-grad from Med school needs to be an intern in a public hospital. You won't easily find intern doctors in a private hospital.
great information....thanks!
Very good information Thank you
@@chenjinchai my pleasure!
@@RetiredWorkingForYou try public hospital next time when u r sick. U will be amazed about their quality and efficiency and doc fee less than 200 baht
I love your videos - but this was great - the Med Tourism and the House Tour - your spontaneity and energy are a joy.
Thanks Frank!! Much appreciated!
Many hospitals in Thailand Will look like a mall , Resort and a luxurry hotel
Thanks a ton for your comment. I really appreciate you taking the time, and every comment helps the channel out. So it's much appreciated....cheers!!
Yes. I had an appendix surgery once and my secretary and frirnds came to sleep over with me and they didn't want to leave. Lol.
I live in Vietnam but have been going to Bangkok Hospital for years for some of the more important check ups and even surgery. I've had great experiences there and will continue to go (once I can get into Thailand and back into Vietnam!). For Americans in particular, the prices are good and the quality of care is great.
I grew up here in Thailand. Been living for 23 years and my hospital trips were never disappointing. Bumungrad Hospital saved my mom from cancer, and even not so expensive hospital like Vhibaram did save my life. There are many other not so expensive hospitals that give good service with English speaking staff. If a foreigner can speak Thai that helps a lot too, there are public hospitals which give great service as well but ofc a lot of people in queue. Same goes with Animal hospitals, there are many who really cares and not overcharged.
Glad your medical trip here is going well😊😊
รพ.รัฐของเรานี่ชั้นเยี่ยมสุดเลยค่ะ ถ้าทนรอคิวได้นะคะ คุณหมอระดับอจ.หมอทั้งนั้น
Bumrungrad Hospital is considered the number 1 hospital in Thailand and regularly is listed in the top 10 hospitals world wide. The quality of medical care and service is fantastic. The joke is that Bumrungrad is a 5 star resort! Approximately 500,000 people per year from all over the world come to Bumrungrad. I lived in Bangkok for 2 years in a hotel about 130 meters from Bumrungrad. Once I was a registered patient, I never had to have an appointment. I could go to the specialist center without an appointment and never had to wait more than 20 minutes to see a doctor. Most of the time, the visit, with medicine, cost me about $50. The most expensive was a visit to see a orthopedic surgeon and with Xrays and pain medication, the visit came to $60.
It's good to see u wearing a mask....the other vloggers just move here n there without one...love u man
I love how youre showing hospital one min and the next a house for rental suddenly! loving all things Thailand!
I'm Thai and everybody from America that I've heard had experienced Thai health care all say "America's health care is a joke"
You’re right. America healthcare really expensive but you will need to do your research for good doctors as there are out there. You just need to find them.
And it is!
I laughed with you as you crossed the road with a Slo Mo gesture. haha
nice!!!
So impressed with how the handle the Situation in Thailand.
Greetings from 🇩🇪 Germany
I'm Thai and live in Bangkok. I'm very happy and glad to watch your this video content. Thank you very much and Welcome to Thailand.
I love the way you crossing the street and hit your forehead with the electrical wires. Your face expression is absolutely priceless. Thanks god you are safe 😂🙈
Thank you so much for showing to other people about a positive attitude side in Thailand I really appreciate:)
And for those who are less fortunate, there is this thing called “ golden card” for every Thai citizen which ended up cost only $1... no matter what’s your health issues are... kidney failure, heart attack, pregnancy, dental care etc.
Dalin Ta Da Dum That’s amazing!
@@soop2073 more info, one of myfriend has cancer , healing take 4 years and cost for medicine is $134,000 ,with golden card he no need to pay at all. All expense is free of charge .
Yes gold card
I am from Thailand, and yes Bangkok Hospital is among the best in Thailand, but regretfully not the top of the food chain. The top hospital in Thailand is Bumrungrad International Hospital. Love your vlog, by the way.
Thanks so much for the comment!!
I just stumbled across this channel and although I'm a Philippines guy, I thoroughly enjoyed the few videos I watched. Keep up the great work !
I've been to Bangkok Hospital several times over the past 10 years and have been impressed by the care I received. It's not the highest rated or expensive. That honor goes to Bumrungrad Hospital. Since I live stateside my health insurance also covered part of the hospital fees. In 2015 I did a comprehensive 8-hour physical including EKG, sonograms, chest x-rays, etc. Total cost was about $620. But since my x-ray detected pneumonia, my Blue Cross insurance paid for all but $60 of the bill.
Thanks the hospital I’ve used I do my wellness physical here 5 more years for me till retirement and moving to Thailand very helpful thanks. Been looking around asking allot of questions about this topic
George Weber I’m glad you have chosen to retire in our country. When the time comes to retire I hope it’s all smooth and hassle free.
8:40 I had a violent knee jerk reaction when I saw that van move. I instantly though "whoever is driving that van is about to pick a fight with you!". Her just pulling over and showing you her guest house is amazing!
funny how that works eh?
Probably one of the best most informative videos I've seen on TH-cam 🇬🇧👍
Wow, thanks!
Thank you for promoting Thailand And famous private hospitals to friends.
This is mindblowing for me. as a thai average middle-class salary man, I will never go to Bangkok hospital or i could pay the fee with my kidney instead
ps. 60USD for your hearing examination cost is not expensive comparing to the other private hospital
Seems expensive even by american standards, if u have insurance at your job small copay for doctor
@@ToadLicker10 That's how we do it too. social funds and company are copay but there are many people using copay. my mom has to pick up a queue at 5am at the Ramathibodi hospital for her Cancer Treatment.
ดูอยู่ครับ ฟังไม่รู้เรื่องเลยครับ แต่ดีมากมีบรรยายไทย555
This video was very helpful, giving me a much clearer idea of the most critical costs like healthcare. Those unit rental costs were also helpful. Nice lady and good of you to display her contact info. Win-win!
I had to stop and hit the like button when that lady came out of her vehicle to graciously show you her real estate! How cool! I love Thailand!
This is so random, I grew up in Thai Village (the little tree lined street you walked down). It used to be a housing compound with American, Dutch and Canadian expats but that's all gone now. Lots can change in 20 years! Great videos!
Interesting!
I hope u tour Bumrungrad International Hospital next time. Tht’s my fav hospital in thailand!!! The best service i’ve ever seen. ^^
My daughter was born at BNH Hospital in the Bang Rak district of Bangkok. Top notch service for a great price. The street the hospital is on has incredible street food choices as well. We had a great experience there and often went down to that street just for some street food.
Thank you for sharing this❤️
I am working with a medical services company and i have lots of experiences about private hospital in Thailand. I would say that Bangkok Hospital is the best one in term of working and from customer reviews 💕
amazing comment. my hope with this channel is that each video STARTS a conversation that others add to. so your useful information added onto this topic is EXACTLY what i'm hoping we get more of here. cheers!
Hey man, I just discover your channel and I’m thrilled watching your content. I’m from Mexico and lived in Thailand few years ago for studying, I fell completely in love with the culture and lifestyle there. Wish I could go back, for now I’ll watch your videos to feel I’m there. Cheers.
I was also there at the hospital when you did the recording 😊 Glad that you are fine and it didn’t cost you much to get it checked.
haha. that's funny. we could have had noodles together!!
Quite random but I used to be a resident of Thai Village from 2010 - 2013 (the house just across the pool). I moved out to the UK that final year after 14 years in Bangkok. Thanks for the nostalgic trip!
I went to Thailand few years ago for my moms treatment.... Their treatment is top notch....
Hi Chris! I just found your channel. I enjoyed this video, really informative. I hope to be back in Thailand as soon as it open up. Looking forward to watching your previous and future videos. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I love the way you cross the road... hahaha... truly Thailand...
This is incredible.... I think I'm sold honestly, l went to Thailand once and felt so at peace but I never thought much of it after that... and seeing that theres still luxury buildings there so I can have my city feels because I'm from nyc....I'm definitely coming to check out bangkok in 2022
Cris i had this discussion with my Dad about health care yesterday.He doesnt believe me the care and how cheap. Ill show him this video. Thanks
Lol man you rocks I don't know why but it's so interesting watching all your videos and this one esspcit was funny as hell really enjoyed every second! Thanks again for sharing chill man
Loved the slo-mo crossing the street - too funny! And really informative Chris - so enjoyed the medical tour. Now that's a fancy-pants hospital! Hope your ear gets better!
thanks. glad you enjoyed the slomo street run!
Yep, that 's one of the best thing about Health Care in Thailand , good price with good services. Thank you for the informative vdo 🙏🏻
I laughed way too hard when you ran across the street and hit that line! The electric buzz sound effect made it for me! Another great video, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you so much for your clip to promoting my country. Our medical tourism is rapidly growth with 3.3 million medical tourists last year. Apart from tourism industry, we are trying to push the medical industry to world class soon (not only 1 or 2 hospitals but most of the private hospital). Our doctor might not possess much research papers but they did more and more medical cases. Therefore, they are quite experienced and skillful.
Of coz, Bangkok is the best place for retirement, cheaper, good food, good medical, easy to travel around Asian and many optional treatment ie. Spa, massage etc.
PS1. The post office and all gov. office will be closed on Sunday; however, you might find them open in shopping mall everyday. Only the isolate office is closed according to office hours. Some post offices in shopping mall are open until midnight.
PS2. Bangkok is working on moving cable to underground. You might not be hurt anymore within few years.
amazing comment. my hope with this channel is that each video STARTS a conversation that others add to. so your useful information added onto this topic is EXACTLY what i'm hoping we get more of here. cheers!
As a nurse in Toronto this is so interesting to see! Thanks for sharing!
Wow that nice
Thank you for giving the most accurate information about Thailand. Your Chanel is very informative 👍
I Have recently stumbled upon your magnificent channel (And subscribed of course) Great memories of many visits to such a wonderful country. Have had experience with Bumrungrad International Hospital in Soi 1. Hands down the Thai hospitals beat anything I have ever experienced. Keep up the great commentary and stay safe.
It feels like you really enjoying doing it and sincerely trying to inform us about that all that's why we all love it so much it's really your talent not kidding...
By the way I thought it's a good opportunity to test the insurance you've with this small case and see if it really works...
Thanks Dean. Really appreciate those kind words man.
I just chanced upon ur channel and thank you for featuring useful information for people who may want to relocate to Bangkok. Most channels only feature the attractions and food, and its good to know some additional information. I visit thailand frequently and has visited people in the hospitals on a couple of ocassions (though none at bangkok hospital). One thing i noticed for potential retirees though, most of the streets around bangkok are not wheel-chair friendly, so if you are dependent on one to go around, it might prove challenging.
What a fantastic hospital. Just looking at it on this video has made me feel a lot better
Once or twice a year, I go there for my health check up. They charge the price for health check up based on your age. For me, the Bangkok Hospital is the best with services and price. Lots of love from Cambodia.
Thanks for the video. I am glad you love Bangkok.
Oh I love it all right!
Bumrungrad is the Cadillac Bangkok is up high in the 4 star group. Smajivet as well
I had to come back here just to watch you cross the road. very exciting
Ì thank you for making a video about Thailand in a good image. Thank you on behalf of all Thai people that you make Thais proud of being Thai.
ถ้าเจ็บป่วยน้อยเข้ารัฐบบาลใชิสิทธิ์ 30 บาท เพราะฟรี แต่ถ้าเป็นมากฉุกเฉิน เลือกเข้าเอกชน เพราะมีประกันจะเรวกว่า ถ้าไม่ทำประกันนี่ ค่ารักษาต่างกันมากกกก
สงสัยเขาอยู่เมืองไทยตั้งแต่เมื่อไร จะถามภาษาก็ไม่เก่ง😄😄😄
I love this video. Thank you for nice presentation.
Have a good health.
Very informative, and I can vouch to the great quality of BKK hospital service & treatment based on a number of experiences from my visits to Thailand
wow, that was quite reasonable. nurse, doc, hearing test... and bonus find on the rentals right next door which looked very nice. thnx for sharing.
I think you will find Bumrungrad International Hospital is the Cadillac in Thailand. Last I heard, and this may have changed, Bumrungrad is the only accredited hospital in Thailand, which can be important when dealing with insurance claims. With the exception of Bumrungrad, all the private hospitals in Thailand are owned by one company, which also owns a small percentage of Bumrungrad. I have never made an appointment at any of the private hospitals. I just walk in and the longest I've waited has been about 15 minutes, even for a specialist. Thailand is known for its world class medical care, and as you have demonstrated its not expensive. Most even serve complementary water or coffee, while waiting to see the doctor. In most cases a photo copy of your passport photo page is all that's needed. With the post office, all you need to do is show them a photo of it stored on your phone. All they care about is entering your passport number into their system.
Bumrungrad definitely is one of the best; great facilities and everything.
Video came up as recommended on my TH-cam home page. Glad I clicked on. Great vlog. Subscribed.
Welcome aboard! Amazing to hear. This party is just getting started!!
I also went to the ENT center in Bangkok Hospital right where you went Chris and it was exactly as you said. Great Doctor no waiting and my Rx was $3 right at the hospital pharmacy. A week later I went to get a hormone blood panel done and it was about 30% MORE expensive than what I could have gotten stateside. Buyer Beware as always. I just assumed it would be cheaper without asking. LOve Thailand!
Came to this exact hospital in 2018 for major surgery. Broke my Tibia and Fibula in a mtorcycle accident in Laos. Air Ambulance, 2 major operations and 1 clean out. Around 6 days in hospital overall……cost me £49,890 🙂 I couldn’t believe how expensive this place was!!
That said, the staff, the food and the treatments were to the highest standard! Make sure you have the correct medical insurance people! Its so so important!!
I had insurance, but little did I know I was only covered by my bank for 31 days (I was on day 38) ☹️
Wow, that's awesome and very cheap! Thanks for the tour of the nice hospital.
Thanks a ton for your comment. I really appreciate you taking the time, and every comment helps the channel out. So it's much appreciated....cheers!!
Hey Chris, while some of us may have seen videos from Johnny (Australian) and Simon (Brits - Land of Smiles Thailand) sharing about their EXPENSES LIVING IN THAILAND, it will still be very useful to hear from you, IF, that's, IF you don't feel it is intruding your privacy or exposing too much of your personal information. This sort of FIRST-HAND sharing of expat living in Thailand will be very useful for some of us to decide if it is still feasible to retire in Thailand, giving the fact that expenses are rising in Thailand, property prices are raising fast, government is changing policies about retirement VISA and medical requirements, etc. Another topics of interest would be about what it takes to own a property in Thailand, including a condo, a landed house, even a LUXURY VILLA like you. Some of us might have learnt from some YT videos about setting up a company with 49/51 stakes with Thai owners, going thru some accounting firm, finding a "temp" partner, LEASE the property to our own company, and so on and so forth. Can you do a few episodes on what places have you explored before decided to buy a villa in Koh Samui, how much is considered cheap or over-priced, how do you go about the paper-work and processing, how much cost it incur, WHAT IS THE CATCH (things to watch out for), any loophole, etc?......
In Short, for NON-TRAVELING and Chris-Being-Serious topics, if you don't mind:-
(1) Expenses Living In Thailand (great if you can have some breakdown)
(a) Bangkok (for your case)
(b) Koh Samui (if you have anything to share)
(c) where else you live in Thailand beside Bangkok & Samui?
(2) Property hunting and pricing, location, etc
(3) Steps and procedures, costs and "tips" of buying diff types of properties in Thailand
(4) Money transfers (big sum) from oversea to Thailand for property purchases
This is a great list of ideas. Thanks for sharing that. It's exactly what i'm hoping for here. I have added these to my list of videos-to-do. It will take some time to get to them, but i will cover off most of these topics in the coming months in one way or another. Some i hadn't thought of, so thanks again!
Wow I really enjoy your videos! Very educational! I was always afraid of Thailand and seen the worst only but this really helps me see the good side of Thailand.
Hey, guys 🙏
I'm from Thailand

I'm Thai , 10 years ago my poor neighbor 's son (age:11)was fallen from his bicycle and had to gotten brain surgery in Gov. Hospital... then they came back home , his mom said that the total cost is 30 baht (1us dollar) ... then that boy talked to me that the expense is same as his hair cutting price, and gave me a big smile.😊
I really Love you bro. I got a plan to retire for me . I know and x military and said I would always be back. Thank you brother
I really like this ❤️ from 🇹🇭
Thanks for the info. Have been happily quarantining in BKK for the last 5 months and am thinking of getting a physical. I am from the USA and our health-care system is horrible.
Thanks a ton for your comment. I really appreciate you taking the time, and every comment helps the channel out. So it's much appreciated....cheers!!
I recently went to Pattaya Bangkok Hospital for a simple eye examination required for my health insurance. It was similar to this, like a 5-star hotel environment, I had a personal concierge to accompany me throughout my visit. I had the full gamut of eye checks. My longest wait was like 5 minutes. Cost me 1045 baht ($35).
I could have got it done much cheaper at Hua Hin Hospital, but the eye doctor was not on staff that day. The medical competency would have been on par, but the waiting would have been much greater, likely hours in the open-air waiting area.
I loved going to this hospital for my prescription because they spoke very good English and it was very comfortable setting. Some other hospital was cheaper but longer wait times or you get a doctor that is harder to understand. Also sometimes at the cheaper hospital they wouldn't have my prescription on hand where here they did.
