With a first-rate health care technology infrastructure, the Thai medical services industry provides quality on par with developed countries yet at a fraction of the cost. Recognizing both the Kingdom’s capacity to deliver world-class treatment and the substantial demand from abroad, the Thai government is focusing development on three major areas: medical services, health care such as spas and traditional massage, and herbal products. This includes medical tourism, with projects concentrated in the high tourist areas: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Surat Thani, Pattaya and Hua Hin. The country is also renowned for alternative medicine such as meditation, yoga and Thai massage, with these services delivered by private providers and specialized medical centers. Just as investment in high-tech care equipment continues to rise, opportunities are also expanding in the medical device and pharmaceutical sectors. Affordable First-Class Quality With over 1,000 public and 400 private hospitals operating at high standards and fully equipped with internationally trained physicians, Thai medical service provides excellent care at very competitive prices. The prevalence of physicians with overseas training and hospitals’ multilingual staffs also means there are no communication barriers for foreign patients. Each year the country attracts about 2 million medical tourists from abroad. The most prominent treatments requested by the foreign patients are general check-ups, dental care, hip replacements, laser eye surgery, kidney transplants and heart surgery. In comparison, some surgeries conducted in Thailand are as much as 90% less expensive than in the United States.

  • Malaysia Singapore & Brunei
    © Lonely Planet 207 Kedah & Perlis Tucked into Malaysia’s northwest corner are two states that fairly drip with greenness and fertility: Kedah and Perlis. If Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia at its most frenetically developed, and Borneo the nation at its wildest and ruggedest, this is the country’s, well, country: not paved, not jungled over, but cultivated, cared for and landscaped into a horizon of looping emerald ridges. Limestone pillars thrust up through this paddyscape and peasants dot it, the latter contributing to the harvest of over half of Malaysia’s domestic rice supply. Not that many foreigners see all this. While it may be one of the most touristed states in Malaysia, most travellers would draw a blank if you asked them anything about ‘Kedah.’ That’s because almost everyone knows it by its biggest island and Malaysia’s number one holiday destination: Pulau Langkawi. One of those postcard places where life is a cruise ship commercial starring you, Langkawi is also a living island where there’s a fair bit to explore beyond the beach, although no one will fault you for losing a few days (Weeks? Months? Langkawi has that effect…) on the sand. Langkawi’s duty-free status also makes it popular with a certain kind of shopper, and it’s not uncommon to see folks leaving the island with tanned arms busting with cartons of Marlboros. Perlis is the smallest state in Malaysia; physically and culturally it borders Kedah. It’s also proximate to Thailand, and most travellers rush through here on their way to that kingdom.

  • Complex Lada: a Remarkable Achievement
    21 OCT 1996 Complex-Opening COMPLEX LADA: A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT LANGKAWI, Oct 21 (Bernama) -- The new Langkawi Development Authority Complex (Lada), to be opened by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad on Wednesday, can be considered a remarkable achievement for Lada in its short life of only six years. Lada, which is under the Finance Ministry, had within this short space of time shown extraordinary performance for a government agency. The 10-storey complex had solved the problem of shortage of office space on this duty-free island. Built at a cost of RM30 million, the complex situated about one kilometre from Kuah Jetty and Kuah town would house all government departments, both state and Federal under one roof. This would facilitate dealings with the public because before this state and Federal government departments were scattered all over Kuah town and some were even operating in housing estates. Apart from office space, the complex also has an auditorium, which can seat 300 people and kiosks to sell foodstuffs and dry items. The grand colourful opening ceremony would begin at 8pm, Lada Public Relations Officer Mohd Hatta Said said. Simultaneously, Dr Mahathir would also open the Lang Square and the Langkawi Legend in the Park located some 500 metres from the Lada Complex. These two latest attractions in Langkawi were also built by Lada, with the square costing RM14 million and the legend project costing RM30 million. Like its name, the main attraction at Lang Square is a giant replica of an eagle meauring about 12 metres in height while visitors to the Langkawi Legend in the Park could know about the history of the island through giant carvings on its past.
