Tourism Authority of Thailand becomes a silver sponsor at 3rd Annual WMT & GHC

Sept. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Medicine is one of the many areas where Thailand excels. Once deemed a developing nation, years of professionalism, dedicated research, overseas study and modernization of the infrastructure has put Thailand on an equal footing with the most advanced medical centers in the world. Thanks to the rigorous standards of the country’s Ministry of Public Health, the Kingdom’s reputation as the new “Wellness Capital” of Asia is rapidly being solidified. Tourists have long realized what an incredible value and how competitively priced a visit to Thailand is compared to other parts of the World. Cost consideration may not be a priority when determining your own health, but reasonable pricing in Thailand’s health system never comes at the sake of any patient’s welfare. The ease of receiving care in Thailand not only saves you thousands of dollars, but there’s the extremely attractive incentive of combining your treatment with a well deserved vacation in our amazing country.

“We need to get the word out to the world that medicine is one of many areas where Thailand excels.  Years of professionalism, dedicated research, overseas study and modernization of the infrastructure has put Thailand on an equal footing with the most advanced medical centers in the world.
