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 weight loss retreat in Thailand:

  1. Share your case

    Tell us about your case and share recent blood test results and reports about any diabetes, thyroid, or heart conditions.

  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 starts your weight loss retreat with daily activities. We support you throughout your trip.

  5. Back home

    Fly home the same or the next day, while weight loss continues 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.

A city tells you how you will travel and where you will recover, but not how your weight loss retreat will go. Surgeons and clinics in the same city differ in experience and in how they handle aftercare, so choosing them matters just as much as choosing the city.

Weight loss retreats recovery timeline: what to expect week by week

You can usually fly home on programme completion, either the same day or the next day, in uncomplicated cases. You can usually return to desk work within 2 days after travel rest, though retreat length and jet lag can affect timing. Exercise is part of the programme, so you need no recovery pause. Your final result may take 3–6 months, with weight loss continuing at home if you maintain lifestyle changes.

  1. Days 1–3

    Your team assesses you and starts a calorie-controlled diet and activity plan. You may feel tired or hungry, so follow the supervised diet and drink plenty of fluids.

  2. Days 4–14

    You take part in daily exercise, nutrition education, and behavioral coaching to support steady weight loss. Keep exercise at the supervised intensity throughout the programme.

  3. After return home

    Continue your diet and activity plan, and avoid crash dieting. Some clinics offer remote follow-up to help prevent regain.

When to contact your clinic: Contact your clinic for worsening abdominal pain. If vomiting persists or you cannot keep fluids down, contact your clinic. Seek emergency help for shortness of breath or leg swelling.
