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 stem cell therapy for ankylosing spondylitis 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.

  4. Visit the clinic

    The clinic team starts your stem cell therapy for ankylosing spondylitis on the agreed dates. We support you throughout your trip.

  5. Back home

    You fly home 2–5 days after treatment, and effects may emerge over 3–6 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.

Stem cell therapy for ankylosing spondylitis recovery timeline: what to expect week by week

You can usually fly home 2–5 days after treatment with your doctor's approval, after your post-infusion check and once fever or harvest-site pain has resolved. You may return to work in 1–3 days, depending on harvest-site discomfort and any infusion reaction. Light activity comes first, with exercise resuming in 1–2 weeks depending on harvest-site healing and infusion tolerance. Any effect on symptoms is gradual and unproven, with results assessed over 3–6 months.

  1. Day 0

    You have bone marrow or fat collected under local anesthesia, and the cells are sent for culture. Rest for the day and do not drive.

  2. Days 1–7

    You may notice mild soreness at the harvest site, with possible temporary fever or fatigue. Return to light daily activities, avoid heavy lifting, and keep the site clean and dry. A routine clinic wound check is due 2–7 days after harvest, before infusion.

  3. Weeks 1–4

    While the cells are expanded, you may stay near the clinic or return home. Continue your prescribed physiotherapy.

  4. Infusion day: about weeks 2–4

    You receive the cells through an intravenous infusion, with observation for reactions. The infusion itself is usually painless, but you may feel discomfort where the cannula enters. Rest for the day and do not drive.

  5. Weeks 1–12

    After a post-infusion check, you can usually fly home 2–5 days after treatment with your doctor's approval, once fever or harvest-site pain resolves. Resume exercise and physiotherapy, with a routine disease-activity review 30–90 days later.

  6. Months 3–6

    A routine response review with your rheumatologist is due 90–180 days after infusion and may include repeat MRI. Any effect on symptoms is gradual and unproven.

When to contact your clinic: Contact your clinic about fever or chills, or new or worsening pain. Seek emergency help for difficulty breathing or shortness of breath.

The team followed through on every detail discussed
Sitting in the consultation room while the surgeon explained the precise use of 50-100 million umbilical cord stem cells gave me a clear sense of the technical path ahead. Fifteen days after the treatment, I am already noticing some improvement in my overall physical state. The application was smooth, and I experienced no injection site reactions or inflammatory flare-ups afterward. Recovery is just beginning. Every interaction with the clinic staff was handled with professional efficiency, ensuring that the logistical side of the medical travel was as controlled as the procedure itself. It is important to stay patient during this early window while the body starts to respond to the cells. The team followed through on every detail discussed.

It was a terrible experience which I never want to go through again. Upon arrival at the hospital, the consultant , Jeab who led me there was not present to receive me. Instead I was attended by the medical sstaff who flatly shot down the agreed quotations offered by Jeab and even said they do not need the VDO anymore so they could not offer me what Jeab did and I was told I had to pay 3 times the proce of what I was offered before. Consequent to the price dispute, there were lots of bleak moments between the consultant and the medical staff internally then I was made to wait for over two hours then they suddenly reversed to ask for VDO compromised on an agreed price. I repeated said no to revealing my face for the VDO and the secretary Kimmy assured me my face will not be shown on camera. Prior to seeing the doctor, I was told to made payment first. For every doctor consultation, I had to go to the cashier to complete the payment and I was seeing two different doctors meant I had to repeat same process twice touring the entire medical centre so many times. What was most stupid was that I was never informed that I had to pay out of pocket for the Covid-9 test which I deem really unfair when there was konsixh prior information and they just dumped all the hidden cost on me. I only did the arm Vader+body tite along with pick laser for vaginal and I was made to go from building to building spending 7 hours there the entire day is really uncalled for!!!

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.
