Bunion surgery, also known as a bunionectomy, is a procedure to correct a deformity of the joint connecting the big toe to the foot. The surgery aims to relieve pain and restore normal alignment to the toe joint. Thailand has become a favored destination for bunion surgery, boasting advanced healthcare facilities and experienced medical professionals.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.

A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe, causing the big toe to lean towards the other toes. This can lead to pain, redness, and swelling. Bunion surgery is recommended for those who experience significant pain and discomfort, and conservative treatments like shoes modification and pain relievers have been ineffective. However, patients should be aware that potential risks of the surgery include infection, nerve damage, and recurrence of the bunion.
To prepare for bunion surgery, a complete medical evaluation, including a physical exam and imaging studies such as x-ray, might be necessary. Patients may also be asked to stop taking certain medications, refrain from eating or drinking before the surgery, and arrange for someone to help during the initial recovery phase.
The exact procedure for bunion surgery depends on the severity of the bunion. The surgeon might remove the bunion and realign the bones, tendons, and ligaments in the foot. This can be done through an open incision or a minimally invasive technique known as percutaneous surgery.
Following the bunion surgery, patients will need to rest and avoid putting weight on the foot for some time. They might also wear a surgical boot or cast and use crutches. A course of physical therapy may be recommended to regain mobility and strength. The full recovery time varies but generally spans a few weeks to a few months.
The cost of bunion surgery in Thailand can range from $2,500 to $4,500. Remember that this does not include additional costs like travel and accommodation expenses, and the final price can depend on the specific healthcare provider and the complexity of the surgery.

The cost of bunion surgery in Thailand can vary, but it generally ranges from $2,500 to $4,500.
Recovery after bunion surgery usually takes several weeks to a few months, depending on the patient's overall health and the specifics of their surgery.
It's generally safe to fly about two weeks after your surgery, but this can vary depending on your recovery. You should always check with your surgeon before making travel plans.
You should plan on staying in Thailand for at least 1-2 weeks for your consultation, surgery, and post-operative check-ups.
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"Thanks for your help things went very smoothly. Your help is essential for easing my anxiety before my trip. Excellent job."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
"Konkai Health's service has truly been outstanding. From providing directions to the hospital, hotel recommendations in there, or simply checking up on how everything has gone. I fully recommend them to anyone wanting to see a doctor in Thailand."
I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.
I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery. I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.
Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
"Everything went really well the staff were kind and helpful my experience there was very good experience"
" I returned home safe and sound, Thank you for all your help :)"
