Medical Tourism and Visas in Thailand?

Transcript of the above video:

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing Medical Tourism and visas here in Thailand. As you can see I never wear a hat but Health Tours Thailand, why are we talking about that? Well my good friend here Derek Halpern, he is an old friend of our firm. We have known him a long time, going back years now I think and he is actually helping people do Medical Tourism here in Thailand. There is a lot going on with Medical Tourism in Thailand. If you haven't noticed on our channel we don't talk about it a lot. The immigration side of it often times is usually a little bit humdrum which we still do assist people with the visa side of things but with respect to Derek, yeah there is a whole bunch of other stuff that goes into making plans; going ahead and making travel arrangements; dealing with the appointment bookings and things with doctors, dentists, cosmetic surgeons here in Thailand etc.. There's all kinds of kinds of logistical things that go into that and quite honestly it almost takes a specialist. So what we are going to go ahead and do is I am going to let Derek go ahead and explain to you exactly what it is he can do for you but we'll go ahead and put his contact details up here on the screen at least once for now so you can see how to get in touch with them and I'll let him take it away. 

Thank you Ben for that introduction. It is a pleasure to speak to your audience. My name is Derek Halpern. I'm the Managing Director and CEO of Health Tours Thailand and as Ben mentioned we help people with their medical and dental needs here in the Kingdom of Thailand. Thailand if you're not aware, has become a real leader in the world; the top five global destinations for medical services; has super medical infrastructure; has some of the finest private hospitals in the world; very good well-trained American and international doctors. There really are many benefits to doing your medical work here and of course it's very cost-effective so one of the main drawing points is you're able to save a lot of money without sacrificing the quality of your medical care and that is the main reason that a lot of people come to Thailand is they want to get quality Western standard medical care at a cost that could be up to 50 to 70% as inexpensive. So there are many benefits in our service that help towards Thailand. We really take care of you from cradle to the grave or maybe don't use that. We'll pick you at the airport, we arrange all your medical appointments. A lot of the legwork we do is in the selection process. Thailand has no many hospital, so many private hospitals, so many clinics, places to get treatment that it could be a bit of a headache to figure out who is the right doctor; which is the best hospital especially if you are a foreigner. So what we do is we have a list and a wide range of suppliers, clinics, hospitals, places to get treatment, spas and hotels and prior to your arrival to Thailand, we will already have arranged your medical treatment. We will go round and figure out which is the best doctor for you, which is the best hospital with the right specialists for you and we will set up your trip, your dates, the estimate of the cost, we will have all that to you so that when you arrive to Thailand, you will have everything taken care of. We will pick you up at the airport, we have a VIP fast track service, we will take you right to the hospital. We will more or less act as a concierge for your trip here so you can come here and get everything you need done without having to focus on all the negative externalities of being in a foreign country. You will have a translator, you will have someone taking you where you need to go and you can just focus on getting better, getting the treatment you need. A lot of treatments are available here. Some of the other benefits is that they offer treatments in Thailand which are not available in the West. There are other benefits such as the wait times which are basically minimal here so you can come in and get treated right away without having to wait and you can save quite a bit of money.

So we look forward to hearing from you. If you have any inquiries or you would like to plan a trip, please feel free to reach out. We treat everything on an individual basis, case by case and we really make sure we attend to people's medical needs the proper way and make sure that everything you need gets taken care of. Thank you for the time Ben and I look forward to speaking with you guys soon.
