You finally
made up your mind about the surgery and where to do it!
Whether it’s an in grown toenail or bypass surgery, If it’s
going to be in Thailand we can help.
If it was up to me I would have it in my hometown,
unfortunately in today’s world it’s not our choice anymore.
Growing healthcare costs and insurance rates have changed
everything in the last forty years. I know even with the
insurance I have I would still have to pay around forty five
thousand dollars for bypass surgery. This is crazy! But this
is the way it is. Where does Health Abroad come in? We are
the “hand to hold“, the “good friend to take along”. Having
surgery on the other side of the world is scary. We know it.
And we can help. We make your time in Thailand as
comfortable as possible, when you arrive at your condo you
can shower relax and have a massage. You are allowed a foot
massage, body massage or a facial every day! Free!
Two meals a day are included. We have a vehicle and driver
at your disposal. We take you on your tours, help you shop,
show you the really good restaurants, translate, and…. We
know places that most tourists never get to see! The best
part is that we pretty much pay for ourselves! Remember,
Thailand is basically a very benign, friendly country. But…
this is not to say all the Thai people are on your side.
They might not hold a gun on you but they will attempt to
convince you that it really is a rolex for $150.00 If
you compare what you would pay on your own for
accommodations food and taxis, I believe you cannot compare
the value you get from Health-Abroad to what you would pay
on your own.
So, where
do we go now? I know if I needed any kind of medical
procedure I would be scared. Never mind going to the other
side of the planet! Well this is where we come in. Our basic
service is not to do the procedure, not to recommend where,
which hospital, or even if you need it at all! All of that
homework we leave to you. Hopefully by the time your reading
this you have picked out your doctor and hospital. What we
provide is what no one else does, we try to get you over
your fear of being overseas. We have conveniently located
our condos in the heart of Bangkok’s shopping district and
midway between the most popular hospitals. Our services are
unlike any I have seen. Sure, many concierge services can
pick you up at the airport. (we call them taxis). On
arriving at the Bangkok airport we will get your bags, guide
you through immigration and customs, provide a wheelchair if
you need one and take you to your private condominium. There
you can shower and enjoy a full body oil massage. At this
point most people want to take a nap and relax after a long
journey. But if you are hungry, let’s eat. It doesn’t matter
if it’s 2 am! Your escort in Thailand is an American, born
in New York so his English is not too bad. This is much
different then a local who speaks English. The culture of
Thailand is wonderful, but just as Thai would feel more
comfortable with a Thai person on a visit to Chicago, we
naturally are more at ease with our own. In the morning you
can enjoy a cup of Maxwell House coffee made in a Mr. Coffee
coffee maker, this familiarity makes a difference to me! The
breakfast everyday is on us and I am sure you will be
delighted! It is a large buffet with all American foods such
as eggs, ham, bacon, omelets etc but also juices, English
breakfasts, Chinese and Japanese breakfasts and just about
anything you can imagine! This is certainly not a
“continental” breakfast! For your first night in Bangkok I
suggest something slow and easy, a little romantic and one
of the most relaxing things you’ll ever experience. A
antique teak boat ride down the Choapya river. I have
traveled on many, many rivers of the world but none are as
beautiful as this one. On the ride you will get to enjoy
original Thai cuisine, as well as Thai music and dances
performed by performers in original Thai costumes. Along the
way the sights of Bangkok will unfold before you, great
ancient temples, the Royal barges, a Chinese temple,
churches and the beautiful Bangkok riverfront. This is one
of the most memorable dinner cruises you will take in your
lifetime.
You will be given a cell phone on your arrival and be
encouraged to call home and assure your loved ones “all is
well”. Depending when your procedure is scheduled, tours to
the Rose Garden, the bridge on the river Kwai, the floating
market etc can be arranged. From your condo you can walk to
Louis Viutton, Pravda, Burberry, Cartier, how about a
Bentley dealership? I have no idea how many stores are in
the general area, but there are 1500 next to the
condominium, the are seven malls you can walk to, you can’t
walk back with all those packages though! While in Bangkok I
encourage people to take advantage of the Indian tailor
shops who will custom make you suits, shirts, skirts etc at
a fraction of the price you would pay in the US. I have a
tailor I use and this is an integral part of our service. We
know through experience you are the best and also most
trustworthy merchants. Whatever you pay in fees to Health
Abroad usually are made up for in discounts and quality
services you would not find on your own. Many years of
mistakes, hunting down the best (and worst) restaurants,
finding the best merchants etc we are certain we pay for our
services in saving our clients needless headaches and
expenses.
After your procedure, it is all up to you! Do you want
to relax in the cool mountain air of Chaing Mai or the lay
along the coast of Koh Samui? Or Phuket. (the movie “The
Beach”) Of course elephant trekking may not be suitable on
this trip if you just had hip replacement, but there are
many other things to see and do if you know where to look.
There are many festivals only seen in Thailand, in the
spring many countries come to the northeast to compete in a
rocket competition, every November over 300 elephants
compete in various sports in Surin. A side trip to world
heritage site Angor Wat in Cambodia is thrilling, all of
these adventures can be had without hesitation since you
have a friend with you! Someone you can speak the lingo
(that’s how you get the bargains!) Someone who knows what,
when and where to eat.
For more than a medical procedure, for more
than an exotic vacation, for something beyond your wildest
dreams….
