This market encompasses cross-border travel for tertiary care procedures, such as cardiac surgery, fertility treatment, and cosmetic interventions, combined with leisure stays. For instance, in March 2025, the Royal Thai Embassy, Washington, D.C. stated that Thailand treated approximately 2.86 million international patients and generated around USD 850 million in revenue in 2023, maintaining its status as ASEAN’s largest medical tourism destination. Thailand offers world-class accredited hospitals (61 JCI-accredited as of October 2023), advanced treatment options, and significantly lower costs compared to Western countries (30–70% savings). Its importance lies in enhancing global healthcare access, encouraging inbound medical investment, and positioning the country as a leading health-tourism destination in Southeast Asia. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 11.20% during the forecast period of 2026-2035.
Rising International Patient Volume and Quality Accreditation to Drive Market Growth
Thailand’s strategic push to position itself as a global medical tourism leader is reflected in rising patient volumes and globally recognized healthcare quality. In 2024 alone, the country welcomed three million medical tourists, with Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai serving as the top destination hubs. As of February 2025, a total of 63 Thai medical institutes have received Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, covering services from organ transplants to dental and cosmetic surgery. This accreditation certifies adherence to global standards of safety and care, bolstering Thailand’s competitive edge and reinforcing its credibility among international patients.
Major market trends include increasing reliance on digital tools along with supportive policy reforms, making Thailand a lucrative medical tourism destination.
Innovation in Digital Health and Accreditation Spurs Demand
Technological upgrades and increased trust from international accreditations drive service quality in Thailand’s medical tourism sector. For instance, as per the Thai Health-Medical Tourism and Wellness report in January 2024 , Thailand hosted 61 JCI-accredited facilities and upgraded EMR systems in public hospitals. Enhanced data handling, faster pre-arrival assessments, and multi-language patient records improve operational transparency and appeal. These upgrades also facilitate partnerships with international insurers, expanding reimbursement options. This digital and quality push is expected to drive confidence among overseas patients, particularly from regions like the UAE, China, and Europe, strengthening the sector’s growth trajectory.
Policy Reforms and Visa Flexibility to Meet Rising Thailand Medical Tourism Market Demand
Supportive policy frameworks and regulatory updates have made Thailand a more attractive destination for niche medical tourism markets. For instance, Thailand is legalizing foreign couple surrogacy and long-stay medical visas, aiming to attract specialized care seekers. This legal modernization opens new market segments such as fertility tourism and oncology follow-up care. By simplifying entry procedures and extending allowable medical stays, Thailand increases inbound flows from jurisdictions with restrictive reproductive healthcare. These policy moves also align with growing demand from the Middle East and East Asia, supporting long-term market expansion.
Private Sector to Lead the Market by Service Provider
The private sector commands the majority share in this market, driven by its agile infrastructure, international accreditations, and integrated tourism partnerships. It led the post-COVID rebound, supporting most of the 2.86 million inbound medical tourists in 2023. The public sector, while substantial, primarily serves local healthcare needs and lacks the international branding and bundled service offerings that private hospitals provide. Private providers capitalize on flexible visa policies, boutique tourism-health packages, and superior service quality.
The key features of the market report comprise funding and investment analysis, and strategic initiatives by the leading players. The major companies in the market are as follows:
Headquartered in Bangkok and established in 2020, Konkai.health offers a telehealth platform tailored to inbound medical tourists. It connects international patients with Thailand’s top specialists for pre-procedure consultations, follow-up care, and multilingual support. The company recently partnered with a Phuket resort to integrate remote health monitoring for post-operative recovery, enhancing patient continuity across borders. This hybrid care model complements Thailand’s digital health initiatives and supports seamless service delivery for luxury medical-leisure packages.
Founded in 1999 and based in Bangkok, MedPark Hospital operates as a JCI-accredited private facility focusing on medical tourism for orthopedics, cardiology, IV therapy, and cosmetic treatments. It served approximately 3 million international patients in 2023 and continues to expand its service portfolio with regenerative medicine and robotic surgery centers. MedPark’s multilingual teams and integrated care-tourism packages bolster its appeal for high-value patients seeking efficient, bundled treatment experiences.
Established in 1980 and located in Bangkok, Bumrungrad International is a globally recognized private hospital that treats over a million international patients annually. It recently opened a luxury oncology and diagnostic wing equipped with AI-driven imaging, robotic biopsy tools, and multilingual care services. This addition enhances personalized care for cancer patients, especially from the Middle East, China, and Europe. Bumrungrad’s focus on concierge services and cutting-edge medical technology further strengthens its position in Thailand’s premium medical tourism market.
Founded in Bangkok in 1979, Samitivej Hospital Group operates seven JCI-accredited hospitals across Thailand, offering pediatric, orthopedic, and cardiac care. In 2025, it inaugurated a standalone Smart Pediatric Hospital at its Srinakarin campus, an eight-floor, THB 2 billion facility with 111 beds, AI-enhanced outpatient/inpatient services, and digital tools like the Well Kidz App (Bangkok Post, 2025).
