The cost of radioiodine therapy in Thailand typically ranges from $1,200 / ฿40,800 to $2,500 / ฿85,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the experience of the nuclear medicine specialist, the dose of radioactive iodine (I-131), and whether inpatient isolation is needed. In the United States, the average cost is $11,500 / ฿391,000 (per SNMMI). This means radioiodine therapy in Thailand is about 83% less than in the U.S.
Thai hospitals usually include the initial consultation, diagnostic blood tests, the radioactive iodine dose, inpatient room charges for isolation (if required), and follow-up thyroid function tests. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the radioactive iodine dose, with separate charges for hospitalization, labs, and follow-ups. Always confirm exactly what’s included with each clinic before booking.
