How it works

Bookimed is free for patients – clinics pay us a commission, and you pay the clinic its own price with no markup. Five steps to your endoscopic discectomy in Thailand:

  1. Share your case

    Tell us about your condition and share your latest scans and medical reports.

  2. Get treatment plans

    Your coordinator finds clinics that match your needs and helps you choose. Your preferred clinics then send personalized treatment plans and quotes for you to compare.

  3. Plan your trip

    We set treatment dates that work for you and help arrange your flights and accommodation. If needed, we request a visa support letter from the clinic.

  4. Visit the clinic

    The clinic team performs your endoscopic discectomy on the agreed dates. We support you throughout your trip.

  5. Recover at home

    You can fly home after a stay of 3–7 days, with results taking 1–3 months to settle. Your coordinator stays in touch and helps arrange a follow-up if you need one.

Some clinics ask for a deposit. A $200 or €200 deposit paid through Bookimed comes off your clinic bill and is refundable up to 10 calendar days before your visit. A deposit paid to the clinic follows its own terms.

Endoscopic discectomy recovery timeline: what to expect week by week

After uncomplicated single-level surgery, you can usually fly home in 3–7 days, subject to your surgeon’s approval, wound check, flight length, and ability to walk and change position in flight. Desk or light work often resumes in 7–28 days, while heavy manual work takes longer, and you can start walking on day one. Gentle exercise may start around 4 weeks, while impact activity and heavy lifting may wait up to 12 weeks. Leg pain often improves quickly, but the final result may take 1–3 months as function and nerve symptoms continue to recover.

  1. First 24–48 hours

    You may start moving the same day or the next, then go home after observation. Avoid heavy lifting and prolonged sitting.

  2. Weeks 1–2

    Gradually increase walking as your wound heals and return to light or desk activity. Avoid bending or twisting under load and lifting heavy objects. Attend a routine wound check 10–14 days after surgery.

  3. Weeks 2–6

    Increase activity gradually, and physiotherapy may be part of your recovery as you return to most daily activities. Avoid strenuous sports and heavy labor until your surgeon clears you.

  4. Weeks 6–12

    Your surgeon may clear you to return to sports and heavier activities during this period. A routine clinical review 42–90 days after surgery can assess recovery and activity progression.

When to contact your clinic: Seek emergency care for new leg weakness or numbness, or loss of bladder or bowel control. Contact your clinic about fever or worsening wound drainage. For chest pain or sudden breathlessness after a long flight, seek emergency help locally.

I am healing faster than I expected, and I am back to my computer, and piano based work 10 days later
Menness clinic is very professional, and I highly recommend them for carpal tunnel release. I had a bilateral open release done by Dr. Big, the orthopedic surgeon on staff at Menness clinic. I was nervous going in because my CTS was severe and I have cerebral palsy. I was pleased to learn that Dr. Big had performed surgery on people with CP previously, and knew exactly what to expect, and how to operate on me to get the best outcome possible. I am healing faster than I expected, and I am back to my computer, and piano based work 10 days later.

I can't help but praise this procedure
I am absolutely thrilled with the treatment and service. I didn’t expect to feel any results for at least several months. After two days, I almost got rid of the pain, and I was told that I wouldn't feel the benefits for at least 2 months. Stay in touch. Anyone considering stem cells, contact me if you want an honest review. I can't praise this procedure enough. If I live 5 years without pain, I will definitely return for a follow-up procedure. Five-star staff and treatment ❤️

Waking up after the knee replacement surgery, my first impression was one of being in capable hands
Waking up after the knee replacement surgery, my first impression was one of being in capable hands. The staff was attentive. Throughout the process, the surgeon and clinical team demonstrated solid professionalism, and I felt properly supported during my stay. I appreciate that even now, during this early recovery phase, the clinic remains easy to reach whenever I have questions. One thing for others to note is that there were some additional expenses beyond the initial quoted price. Overall, it was a good experience.

What is the level of medicine in Thailand?

As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

When is the best time to travel to Thailand?

The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. A large influx of tourists is in March-May, when the air temperature is +30°C.
