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 resection of glioblastoma 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 resection of glioblastoma on the agreed dates. We support you throughout your trip.

  5. Recover at home

    You fly home 10–14 days after surgery, with recovery and MRI assessment over 2–4 months. 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.

For resection of glioblastoma in Thailand, review the surgeon’s medical background, request evidence from similar cases, confirm who will operate, and ask about qualifications and hospital standards.

What to check

  • Medical background

    Ask whether the surgeon has examined your full file before recommending treatment.
  • Similar outcomes

    Request evidence from comparable cases to set realistic expectations.
  • Who operates

    Confirm that your consultation is with the person who will perform the operation, not an assistant or another team member.
  • Credentials and setting

    Ask about team training, whether the surgeon is licensed by the Medical Council of Thailand, and whether the hospital meets major-neurosurgery standards.

Is a Resection of glioblastoma right for you?

Glioblastoma resection in Thailand may suit you if doctors think they can remove your suspected or confirmed tumor. It can provide tissue for diagnosis and may relieve pressure or symptoms caused by the tumor. Whether it suits you depends on the tumor’s location and extent, and your overall health.

Glioblastoma resection may suit you if:

  • You have a suspected or confirmed IDH-wildtype grade 4 glioblastoma that doctors consider resectable.
  • You need tissue testing to confirm the diagnosis and characterize the tumor.
  • You have pressure in your skull or tumor-related symptoms that surgery may relieve.

Consider another option or wait if:

  • Your tumor is in a deep or critical brain area. Ask your surgeon whether its location allows safe resection.
  • You have severe heart or lung disease, or a blood-clotting problem that makes anesthesia or craniotomy unsafe.
  • Your ability to manage daily activities is very limited. Ask your surgeon whether surgery suits your overall condition.
  • Your tumor affects multiple brain areas or is diffuse. Ask your surgeon whether surgery suits the extent of the disease.

If surgery is not an option, chemotherapy may be considered.

Before you book:

  • Prepare your brain MRI with and without contrast, and its radiology report.
  • Prepare a biopsy or histology report, if available.
  • Prepare a neurological examination or discharge summary.
  • Ask: “Can you safely remove my tumor given its location and extent?”
  • Ask: “Could surgery relieve the pressure or symptoms I have?”

Bookimed helps you find clinics and pass on your records and questions. The clinic's doctor reviews them and decides whether glioblastoma resection suits you.

Resection of glioblastoma recovery timeline: what to expect week by week

You can usually fly home 10–14 days after surgery with your surgeon’s approval, after an early MRI, wound check, and neurological stability. Returning to desk work may take 6–13 weeks, depending on your neurological status, job demands, and treatment tolerance. Light walking can start early, while moderate exercise usually resumes after 4–8 weeks once your wound has healed and your surgeon clears you. Recovery and MRI assessment usually take 2–4 months, with timing depending on neurological deficits and your treatment course.

  1. First days

    Your team will monitor your neurological function, use an early MRI to assess how much tumor was removed, and support early movement and wound care. You may have moderate headache and incision pain, usually controlled with standard pain medicine. Follow seizure and bleeding precautions, and do not drive.

  2. Weeks 1–4

    Gradually increase activity as your wound heals, avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity, and do not drive until your team clears you. You may usually fly home 10–14 days after surgery with your surgeon’s approval.

  3. About 4 weeks onwards

    Radiotherapy with temozolomide usually starts several weeks after surgery, once your wound has healed. Rehabilitation may be needed, and your activity should follow your neurological status and oncology team’s guidance.

When to contact your clinic: Contact your clinic if you have a worsening headache that medicine does not help or an incision that becomes red, swollen, or starts draining. New weakness, confusion, or vision changes need emergency care. For chest pain or sudden breathlessness after a long flight, seek emergency help locally.

Traveling to Thailand for a Resection of glioblastoma

Plan 10–14 days, including 3–7 nights in hospital, in Thailand after the procedure before your flight home. US and UK passport holders can enter Thailand without a visa for up to 30 days. A longer stay for planned medical treatment may need a medical-treatment visa.

When What happens
Before the procedure Arrival, consultation and agreed tests
10–14 days after Check-up
10–14 days after Flight home
Later Second trip

Before you fly

  • Visa. US and UK passport holders can stay without a visa for up to 30 days. A longer stay for planned medical treatment may need a medical-treatment visa. US citizens entering for fewer than 60 days must complete pre-arrival online registration.
  • Passport. US authorities strongly recommend that US passports be valid for at least six months beyond arrival. UK passports must expire at least six months after arrival and have at least one blank page.
  • Medicines. US travelers should carry prescription medication in its original packaging with a doctor's prescription and check with Thailand Customs and the Thailand Food and Drug Administration that it is legal. Some medicines prescribed or bought in the UK may have different legal status in Thailand. Hospitals and pharmacies will usually accept UK prescriptions.
  • Hand luggage. The clinic requests a brain MRI with and without contrast in DICOM, an MRI radiology report, a biopsy or histology report if available, a neurological exam or discharge summary, a blood thinner and antiepileptic drug list, and a recent CT or PET scan if available.

Getting there and staying

  • Airports. Phuket Airport (HKT) is 32 km from the city center.
  • Flight time. Phuket is about 9,900 km from London, with about 12–13 hours of flying, and about 14,600 km from New York, with about 17–18 hours. A connection adds time.
  • Emergency. In a medical emergency, call 191 and ask for an ambulance.

When to go

  • Weather. In Phuket, average daytime highs stay at about 31–34 °C all year. April to November are the wettest months, with 100 mm of rain or more.
  • Season. December to March is drier, which may make it a better time for a recovery trip. April to November is wetter, with heavy rain.

Insurance and changes

  • Health insurance. Medicare and Medicaid do not apply overseas. US travelers should make sure their health insurance provides overseas coverage. UK travelers cannot use a UK GHIC or UK EHIC in Thailand.
  • Hospital payment. All hospitals require a guarantee of payment before treating patients.

Flying home

  • Fit to fly. You can usually fly home with your surgeon’s approval, after an early MRI, wound check, and neurological stability.
  • Take home. After surgery, keep the hospital discharge note and medicine instructions.

"I was extremely satisfied with everything that happened to me at this wonderful hospital"
I was extremely satisfied with everything that happened to me at this wonderful hospital. I don't think that there is a hospital in Asia which can compare with this one. From the doctors to the nurses and all other personell in this hospital ALL are competent, very polite and friendly - the only small criticism that I have is that unfortunately many don't speak English very well, that's a great shame.

I would strongly recommend it to other people looking for medical care
I am very happy with the treatment I've so far received at Bumrungrad International Hospital. Beginning last year, I've made three separate visits for treatment at the hospital. The staff are extremely professional and efficient using very modern equipment. The cost of treatment is competitive. I would strongly recommend it to other people looking for medical care.

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.

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.
