A friend recently got a hip replacement done in Khon Kaen for 70,000 baht. Yes it is a government hospital and I only got quotes from Pattaya and Bangkok hospitals. The price I paid was the cheapest of them all. On reflection maybe I should have looked further afield. Link to comment

Changoverandout Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 About 150,000 baht equivalent including operation, visas, flights for my wife and I, hotel, great food and alcohol! I’ll also see my son who lives in India. I was quoted about 200,000 at Jirapawat army/government hospital Nakhon Sawan. 1 Link to comment
