INTRODUCTION
In addition to Thailand being one of the worlds premier tourist destinations, more and more visitors are being drawn to the Kingdom for another reason: the high quality and amazing prices of the countrys medical care. In fact, savvy medical tourists are receiving world-class treatment, then recuperating in one of Thailands gorgeous and relaxing holiday destinations, such as Bangkok, Koh Samui, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, or Pattaya.

Thailand prides itself on having a modern, state-of-the-art medical system and many hospitals have gone through the most rigorous accreditation and certification processes, passing with flying colors. In 2002, Thailand was the first Asian country to achieve the prestigious Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, and today 30 hospitals in Thailand have received JCI accreditation.

As medical tourists become increasingly aware of Thailands international accreditations, high quality facilities and amenities, modern medical technologies, and incredible patient services, their numbers have been increasing accordingly. The last five years has seen these numbers double, with patients streaming in from the UK, the US, the Middle East (UAE, Kuwait, and Oman), Germany, Australia, Japan, and her fellow ASEAN countries. There are various types of accreditation and certification available to medical facilities, some international and others domestic. The most prestigious is Joint Commission International (JCI) and their more specialized Clinical Care Program Certification (CCPC). Within Thailand, many Thai hospitals use Hospital Accreditation (HA), a national type of assessment and quality certification.

Medical tourists become increasingly aware of Thailands high quality facilities and incredible patient services.
