How Much Does Radioiodine therapy Cost in Thailand?

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.

Bookimed had suggested me the best doctors for my kids and myself
Bookimed had suggested me the best doctors for my kids and myself. As I preferred to have my booking in the Bumrungrad hospital, they exactly understood my requirements and provided with great help. For anyone who doesn’t have any experience also will get proper guidance from bookimed. Thanks a lot.

"At the end, I wish to thank the Bookimed team for all the effort and the help I had for making the consultation happened successfully
The hospital is very modern in building and very organised since arrival you will have someone from the administration to assist in registration and then will take you to the clinic where your appointment is scheduled. Waiting time is reasonable, it is always expected to wait sometimes after your scheduled time to see the Doctor. In my case, I think I should have taken an appointment from first day to directly see the surgeon and not the endocrinologist. Do two days had been spent with the endocrinologist to repeat exactly the same procedure that I had completed in Bahrain, ie repeating the ultrasound which became in result exactly as a replica of the report done in Bahrain. One test was done new which was the anti thyroid plus vitamin D which I thought unnecessary. I do not know! . Any way after meeting again the endocrinologist with results of ultrasound and lab test results, she decided to refer me to the ENT surgeon who saw the ultrasound taken at Bumrungrad Hospital Nd my local hospital plus the biopsy reports and recommended operation to remove the the right thyroid node and if found being cancerous then again tho remove the left side node, A period of two weeks was advised for operation and follow up. I asked for an estimate then I was given a rough estimate for an operation which is probably three times the total cost of the operation in Bahrain, and their estimate did not cover pre operation procedure, not the admission cost , not the follow up visits changes neither the medicine. In conclusion, in my particular case I found my self to probably to be spending 8 times the cost if am going to do the same treatment I bahrain. At the end , I wish to thank the Bookimed treat for all the effort and the help I had for making the consultation happened successfully. From the bottom of my heart big THANKS to all and I wish you a good luck. Yours , Hameed Zuhair

I would like to thank him for his effort and sensitivity
The doctor proposed a different medication for my diabetes 2. He proposed blood test and package what I found was not useful since I had a blood test on which he base is prescription of last year. Also the medication that he suggested I can find it much cheaper outside of the hospital.

The hospital environment is very nice, and the staff very friendly
The hospital environment is very nice, and the staff very friendly. The doctor on the other hand was rather aggressive and needs to learn some better manners. She really made me feel uncomfortable and wasn't that helpful, I am sure she is very knowledgeable but I dont think I will return.

What is the level of medicine in Thailand?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion baht for healthcare annually.

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.

What hotel service is provided here?

In the Kingdom of Thailand, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Thai hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

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.

Do I need a visa?

For now, the Kingdom of Thailand requires different visa regimens for diverse states. Some foreigners can stay in the country 60 days without visa control, some of them — only 14 days.
