Thailand, particularly its capital Bangkok, has become one of Asia’s leading health tourism hubs. With its modern hospitals, advanced medical infrastructure, internationally accredited healthcare institutions, and highly qualified medical personnel, Bangkok hosts hundreds of thousands of international patients each year. Offering high-quality and cost-effective healthcare services across a wide range of specialties—from aesthetic surgery to organ transplants, orthopedics to cancer treatments—the city stands out as an attractive destination for patients seeking medical care.

In line with its vision of becoming the “Medical Hub of Asia,” the Thai government aims to position Bangkok as a center for health technologies and medical investments. Significant investments are being made in innovative applications such as digital health solutions, AI-powered diagnostic systems, telemedicine, and robotic surgery. International ventures and technology providers are being invited to contribute to and benefit from this evolving ecosystem. In addition to treatment-based care, Thailand embraces a holistic, wellness-oriented approach through wellness tourism, traditional therapies, and integrative health practices.

Thailand’s experience and success in this field offer an inspiring model for mutual learning, joint development, and sustainable cooperation from Turkey’s perspective. Bangkok’s health ecosystem presents multi-dimensional partnership opportunities for countries like Turkey with strong healthcare infrastructures.
