Thailand has been the destination of choice for many visitors from the Middle East. The friendly people, five-star resorts and accommodations, and the natural beauty of Thailand’s landscape have been top attractions for decades.
Patients are choosing to combine a medical check-up or treatment, with an exotic holiday in the Land of Smiles all at a fraction of what it would cost in the US or Europe. International hospitals in Thailand are eager to accommodate patients from the Arab Gulf region and in recognition of their needs, have put in place special facilities and services for Muslim patients and visitors, often hard to find outside the Middle East.
It is now common to find directions and information on public signage in Arabic, as well as Thai and English. Halal food and prayer rooms are available for patients and also for visitors. The hospitals are one-stop centres as well with visa extension desks, and multilingual officers who will help patients and their families find accommodation or book transportation.
