What patients like

  1. Melanoma treatment efficacy. Patients appreciate the innovative Melanoma treatments offered in Thailand, with some reporting positive results after treatment. Thailand hospitals utilize modern technologies to ensure high efficacy of the treatment.
  2. Doctor's professionalism. Thai doctors specialize in Melanoma treatment and are known for their professionalism and expertise. They often have international affiliations, with many being members of reputable medical organizations.
  3. Cost. The Melanoma treatment cost in Thailand varies from $19000 to $31000. These prices are often lower compared to the average cost in other countries like the USA where the price can go up to $30000.
  4. Service level. Patients report high satisfaction with the service level in Thai hospitals. The staff is praised for their dedication, hospitality and the personalized care they provide.
  5. Logistics. Many Thai hospitals provide logistical support such as accommodation arrangements and free shuttle services to the clinic, making the treatment process smoother for international patients.

What patients don't like

  1. Language barrier. Patients sometimes face difficulties in communication due to the language barrier. Though most hospitals have translators, some medical terms may not be accurately conveyed.
  2. Distance. For many patients, especially those from the West, Thailand is quite far, resulting in long and possibly uncomfortable travel.
  3. Waiting time. Due to the high demand for treatment in Thailand, patients might experience longer waiting times than desirable.

What's the Cost of Melanoma Diagnostic and Treatment Procedures in Thailand?

The cost of melanoma treatment can range from $6,760 to $13,320:

  • Turkey: Immunotherapy with (Pembolizumab) from $4,170 to $6,710, Melanoma surgery from $6,000 to $11,170.
