The cost of hallux valgus surgery (bunion correction) in Thailand typically ranges from $2,200 / ฿74,800 to $3,800 / ฿129,200. Prices can vary based on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the surgical technique (open, minimally invasive, or Lapidus procedure), and whether one or both feet are treated. In the United States, the average cost is $11,500 / ฿391,000 (per AAOS). This means hallux valgus surgery in Thailand is about 74% less expensive than in the U.S.
Thailand’s packages often include the surgeon’s fee, pre-op tests, anesthesia, hospital stay, standard implants or fixation devices, post-op medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the quoted price usually covers only the surgeon’s fee, with extra charges for anesthesia, hardware, hospital fees, and aftercare. Always confirm with your chosen clinic what’s included in the total price.
