Medical tourism has made Thailand a sought-after destination for affordable, high-quality medical care. Among the many services available, MRI scans in Thailand stand out for their affordability, short waitlist and modern equipment.
While waiting lists in most countries are lengthy or it is difficult to even get a doctor's approval to undergo an MRI scan, Thailand's private health care system makes the process much faster with even non-emergency cases being scheduled in a matter of days.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic tool that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body’s internal structures. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI scans do not involve ionizing radiation, making them a safer choice for many patients.
MRI scans are essential for diagnosing conditions ranging from brain tumors and spinal cord injuries to joint issues and soft tissue damage. They provide a lot more detail than X-rays or CT scans, enabling doctors to create more precise treatment plans. MRI scans are used to diagnose or analyze different conditions, such as:
The cost of a standard MRI scan for a specific body part in Thailand typically ranges from ฿8,000 to ฿25,000 ($250–$750 USD), depending on the area scanned and the hospital.
Starting from $250
Starting from $500
The cost of a full-body MRI scan in Thailand typically ranges from ฿25,000 to ฿60,000 ($750–$1,800 USD), depending on the area scanned and the hospital.
Private hospitals often charge more but provide faster services, provide better services and has staff that speaks excellent English with Doctor's who have often studied abroad. Public hospitals, though more affordable, usually have much longer wait times, older facilities and equipment and staff that is less experienced in dealing with foreigners.
Some hospitals and clinics advertise prices without including contrast fluid (if needed), providing films and/or radiologist evaluation. To make a fair comparison between different medical providers, it is important to make sure both prices include the same services.
Unlike many other countries, the waiting list for an MRI scan is very short and you can get one in a matter of days. Emergency cases are always prioritized in both public hospitals and private hospitals meaning that in these cases the waiting period is drastically shorter or done on the same day.
Public hospitals: waiting periods for non-urgent MRI scans can be several weeks long
Private clinics and hospitals: waiting period is often 1-3 days for non-urgent scans, sometimes even offering same-day appointments
Most people are eligible, including children and elderly patients. However, the doctor may assess your medical history first.

I traveled to Thailand from America for a surgery in November and I had no clue where to start or who to talk to about reputable surgeons in the area. I stumbled across Konkai Health and decided to reach out to them. After a short wait for a response Pam reached out to me and immediately started answering all my questions.
For my particular surgery she recommended Yanhee Hospital out of Bangkok. Once I had my ticket/hotel booked Pam was able to schedule me for my consultation and then surgery the next day. Surgery went well and Pam did a great job keeping up with my progress and making sure I was well taken care of.
I am back home now and healing up but I cannot recommend Pam and Konkai Health enough for any and all hospital needs in Thailand. 10/10 👍🏾
We are clients from Australia and we could not recommend Konkai health anymore!
We are so pleased with the level of service from Pam in helping us organise a surgery for my husband which took place in Thailand.
We had to change a few appointments here and there (life happened on our end) and Pam was all too willing to help with no problems.
Pam helped me find both a doctor and a surgical team for my heart surgery during a time when I was struggling to get any responses from the hospitals I contacted directly. She located everything I needed and was invaluable in overcoming language barriers. I highly recommend her assistance!
I am extremely happy with the service provided by this page. It made it so easy for me to find and appoint doctors for my children and wife. The process was smooth, fast, and hassle-free. The interface was user-friendly, and I felt assured knowing I could get the best care for my family quickly. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable way to book medical appointments. Thank you!
"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 :)"
