  significantly lower compared to identical
  treatments in the developed world. In fact,
  treatments in Thailand are typically far less
  expensive than elsewhere in the world. A spinal
  fusion procedure in the US averages 62,000 and
  in Thailand only 7,000.
• No waiting lists
• Appointments for treatment can be arranged.
  There are enough qualified surgeons that there is
  little, if any, waiting for scheduling even the
  most complex and invasive procedures.
