Bumrungrad International Hospital

The quickest way is our Bumrungrad booking form. It collects everything the hospital needs to open your file and match you to the right specialist, so we can go straight to confirming a date rather than going back and forth.

If this is your first time at Bumrungrad, we need a copy of your passport to complete your patient registration. We will send you your hospital number (HN) once registration is done, and that number is used for every future appointment and for anything held in your medical file. If you already have an HN from a previous visit, send it with your request and we can book straight away.

You can also reach us through our contact form, by email or on WhatsApp if you would rather talk it through first. There is no charge for any of this.

Konkai Health handles the registration and booking with the hospital directly, so you are not queuing in their referral inbox.

Both hospitals rank among Thailand's top healthcare facilities, with Bumrungrad named the best hospital in Thailand by Newsweek for five consecutive years (ranked 100th globally in 2025), while Bangkok Hospital is ranked in the top five nationally. The choice between them depends on your specific medical needs and preferences.

Bumrungrad was the first hospital in Asia to receive JCI accreditation in 2002 and treats over 1 million patients annually, including more than 500,000 international patients from over 190 countries. Bangkok Hospital also maintains JCI accreditation and serves over one million patients annually with multiple Centers of Excellence.

Both hospitals offer advanced medical technology and experienced internationally-trained doctors. Our medical team at Konkai Health can help you determine which hospital is best suited for your specific condition or treatment, taking into account factors like specialist expertise, treatment approaches, and your individual medical history.

Bumrungrad has been ranked the No. 1 hospital in Thailand by Newsweek and Statista for six consecutive years, from 2021 to 2026. In the 2026 World's Best Hospitals list it placed 96th of 250, the only Thai hospital in the global top 100 for a second year running. In Newsweek's Best Specialized Hospitals Asia-Pacific 2026 it was ranked first in Thailand in eight specialties: cardiology, cardiac surgery, endocrinology, gastroenterology, oncology, orthopaedics, paediatrics and pulmonology.

It was also the first hospital in Asia accredited by Joint Commission International, in February 2002, and has held that accreditation since.

Rankings measure the hospital, not the fit. Several other Bangkok hospitals hold international accreditation and some are stronger in specific areas, and Bumrungrad is at the premium end on price. The right question is usually which hospital is best for your condition and budget rather than which ranks highest overall.

Konkai Health can tell you where Bumrungrad genuinely leads for your procedure and where another partner would serve you better, and get you written estimates from both.

Costs at Bumrungrad vary significantly depending on the type of medical service you require. Health check-up packages typically range from THB 8,300 for basic screenings to THB 18,600 or more for comprehensive packages with advanced diagnostics. Full-body check-ups including advanced imaging can cost between $800 to $1,500 or more.

For surgical procedures, costs vary widely by complexity. Many procedures at Bumrungrad cost 50-70% less than equivalent treatments in Western countries while maintaining international quality standards. However, Bumrungrad is positioned as a premium hospital in Thailand, so their pricing is generally higher than other quality private hospitals in Bangkok.

For accurate pricing tailored to your specific medical needs, reach out to our team at Konkai Health. We can provide detailed cost estimates for your treatment, compare pricing across different hospitals if needed, and help you understand exactly what's included in the quoted price.

Bumrungrad does not publish MRI prices, so most of what you find online is guesswork. These are the figures our own patients have been quoted by the hospital:

• Full body MRI, around 72,000 THB. This is the figure Bumrungrad has quoted our patients through 2026
• Doctor's consultation, from 1,000 THB, billed separately. This is not optional: Bumrungrad's radiology department will not book an MRI scan without a specialist seeing you first and issuing the order
• Targeted single-region scans (brain, spine, knee) come in well below the full body figure and are quoted per case

Konkai coordinates referrals into Bumrungrad every week, so our numbers above come from real cost estimates issued to real patients rather than from a price aggregator. A quote for your own scan can still differ: contrast, the number of regions covered and whether a specialist review is included all move the figure.

Konkai Health will request a written MRI quote from Bumrungrad for the exact scan you need.
