Hemorrhoids, commonly referred to as piles, are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus, and they can cause significant discomfort, itching, and even bleeding. A hemorrhoidectomy is the surgical removal of these enlarged hemorrhoids, offering lasting relief to those who suffer from this condition.
Hemorrhoid surgery in Thailand costs $2,400 to $3,800 representing savings of 50-75% compared to the United States, where procedures range from $3,800 to $10,000 without insurance.
Thailand has emerged as a leading destination for hemorrhoid treatment precisely because it addresses the two biggest pain points patients face: high costs and long waiting times. While NHS patients in the UK wait 53 to 319 days for elective hemorrhoid surgery and uninsured Americans face bills exceeding $10,000, Bangkok's private hospitals offer immediate access to board-certified colorectal surgeons at a fraction of Western prices.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.
All prices are in USD, unless otherwise indicated.
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus, similar to varicose veins in the legs. They develop when increased pressure causes the veins to stretch, bulge, and become inflamed.
Hemorrhoids are graded by severity. Grade 1 hemorrhoids bleed but don't prolapse. Grade 2 prolapse during bowel movements but retract on their own. Grade 3 prolapse and require manual pushing back inside. Grade 4 remain prolapsed outside the anus and cannot be pushed back in.
Non-surgical office procedures like rubber band ligation successfully treat Grade 1-2 internal hemorrhoids. Surgery becomes necessary when conservative treatments fail, hemorrhoids are Grade 3-4, you experience severe bleeding or pain, or hemorrhoids significantly interfere with daily activities. Surgical removal offers the most definitive long-term solution for severe hemorrhoids.
Thai colorectal surgeons perform several surgical techniques depending on your hemorrhoid severity and type:
Traditional hemorrhoidectomy completely removes hemorrhoidal tissue through surgical excision. The surgeon accesses the anus, cuts away the swollen hemorrhoidal veins using surgical instruments, and either stitches the wounds closed or leaves them open to heal naturally. This remains the gold standard for large Grade 3-4 hemorrhoids and combined internal-external hemorrhoids. The procedure offers the lowest recurrence rates but requires 2-4 weeks recovery with the first week being most uncomfortable.
Stapled hemorrhoidopexy (also called PPH - procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids) repositions prolapsed hemorrhoidal tissue back into the rectum rather than removing it. The surgeon uses a circular stapling device to cut away a band of tissue and pull remaining hemorrhoidal tissue upward into its normal position. The staples close off blood supply to the hemorrhoids, causing them to shrink. This technique causes less post-operative pain than traditional removal and allows faster return to activities within 1-2 weeks. It works best for Grade 2-3 internal hemorrhoids but may have slightly higher recurrence rates.
Laser hemorrhoidoplasty uses concentrated laser energy to shrink hemorrhoidal tissue without cutting. The surgeon inserts a fiber optic probe and directs laser energy to coagulate the blood vessels feeding the hemorrhoids. The hemorrhoidal tissue shrinks and eventually disappears. This minimally invasive approach takes 30-50 minutes, requires just one overnight stay, and causes significantly less pain than traditional surgery.
Hemorrhoidal artery ligation (HAL-RAR) uses Doppler ultrasound to locate the arteries supplying blood to hemorrhoids. The surgeon ties off these arteries and lifts the prolapsed tissue back into position. This technique is less painful than excisional surgery and works well for Grade 2-3 hemorrhoids, though it may not be suitable for large external hemorrhoids or Grade 4 disease.
Your surgeon will recommend the best approach after examining your hemorrhoids and reviewing any colonoscopy or imaging results. The choice depends on hemorrhoid grade, whether they're internal or external, your overall health, and your recovery time preferences.
Most hemorrhoid surgeries require minimal hospital stays. Day surgery cases allow same-day discharge, while complex procedures need 1-2 nights observation.
Plan to stay in Thailand for 7-14 days. This allows for your follow-up appointment, ensures comfort before flying, and provides a buffer for any additional medical attention.
A hemorrhoidectomy in Thailand can range from $2,400 to $3,800, depending on factors such as the hospital's reputation, the chosen surgical method, and any associated treatments. Given the cost-effectiveness coupled with the exceptional standard of healthcare, Thailand has become a magnet for those seeking hemorrhoid treatments.

Traditional hemorrhoidectomy at Praram 9 Hospital costs approximately $2,400, while advanced options at MedPark Hospital range from $2,500 to $3,800. These prices include surgeon fees, operating room, anesthesia, hospital stay, and immediate post-operative care.
Most patients can resume regular activities within 7-10 days post-surgery. Recovery timelines vary by procedure type: laser hemorrhoidoplasty allows return to daily activities within days, stapled hemorrhoidopexy typically requires 1-2 weeks, and traditional hemorrhoidectomy takes 2-4 weeks for full recovery. Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 3-6 weeks. Complete healing takes up to 6 weeks depending on the surgical technique used.
Yes, Bangkok hospitals offer several non-surgical treatments for early-stage hemorrhoids. Rubber band ligation works well for Grade 1-2 internal hemorrhoids by cutting off blood supply to the hemorrhoid. Conservative treatments including dietary changes (high-fiber diet), increased water intake, over-the-counter creams, and warm sitz baths can relieve symptoms. Your colorectal surgeon will recommend non-surgical options when appropriate, though Grade 3-4 hemorrhoids typically require surgical removal for definitive treatment.
Pam and Konkai Health were absolute rock stars in helping us find a fantastic surgeon for my boyfriend's hip replacement in Thailand. We had previously paid for a service to help us find a doctor and it was just throwing money away. The paid service was slow to respond and only offered us quotes for the most expensive hospitals.
Pam on the other hand was a completely free service and was always quick to reply, patient with all of our questions, and presented a variety of options in our price range. She made the entire process of finding a doctor, setting up video conferences, and scheduling the surgery extremely easy. She continued to help us even after the surgery had taken place with follow up visits and final questions we had before traveling back home. We cannot recommend her highly enough!!! We will definitely be using her again for our next surgical needs.
Many thanks to Konkai. After an online inquiry Konkai guided me to Praram9 orthopedic for a consultation on a hip injury. I had the consultation, clearly a femeral head collapse and needing the hip joint replacement. The beauty was in a half day full consultation, x-ray, ekg, blood work, chest exam ... everything needed to proceed with surgery was done.
This was so professionally and efficiently done, all questions answered, no consultants, no referrals etc., all in house, all guided around the hospital. A friendly caring class act. So I then came back to Konkai to setup for the operation, with the same orthopedic team led by Dr. Peerapong that made the assessment. I returned 2 weeks later, admitted, had the replacement operation stayed 5 days with the hospital team, and quite frankly, it was a privilege to be in their care.
Now after 10 days recovery in Bangkok i am ready to return home. Why Thailand, well in my country New Zealand, you get passed around to specialists, consultants, it all takes time, does not engender trust, and i think the profit motive is primary like the American system. Further, there are less facilities so more waiting for slots. Thailand has a care culture, and the expertise and professionalism with Konkai and Praram9 is superb. They have top quality facilities and capacity to fit your schedule.
If i ever need any major surgery, this will be my first stop. Thanks again
Outstanding. The most safe, amazing communication these past couple of months with Pam from Konkai health. I asked soooo many questions there must be around 80+ emails from me and every single one has been replied in full. Even now 2 weeks after surgery. Super professional, and the surgeon Dr Thawatchai Boonpadhanapong, at Yanhee Hospital that Pam recommended to me for a breast implant removal, were just incredible. No money deposits asked for…just pure care.
The service and systems at Yanhee were out the gate. I am so glad I travelled all that way and didn’t do it in New Zealand as I don’t think it would’ve been as good haha. I was so looked after by the amazing nurses, anaesthetist, Dr Thawatchai and my interpreter Mr Wing. It’s overwhelming looking for the right fit and if it wasn’t for Konkai Health and Pam I wouldn’t be feeling as happy as I am now 2 weeks after my surgery. I cannot thank you enough for what feels like a life transformation :)
"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."
Pam from Konkai just made the right match for my plastic surgery, not only did it make me safe time, but the chosen doctor was just exceeding my expectations! Thank you so muxh 🙏🏼
I highly recommend their expertise and thankful for having been a patient at Yanhee hospital! …
Konkai Health helped me with my search to find affordable service for my rotary cuff repair. Told them my price range and gave me options for hospitals. Helped with every step of the process from consultation with physician to surgery to after care if needed. I highly recommend if you're an expat or visiting and you need medical services reach out to this organization.
"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."
"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."
Was confused as to where to get good Medical Services in Thailand. This company was very responsive and helpful.
They directed me to a very reputable local Hospital where I was treated by a Doctor with great reviews.
Also, the cost for the procedure was very reasonable and a fraction of what it would cost me in the US.
I would highly recommend this company to others. 🙏♥️🙏
I came to Thailand from America for a liposuction in last week. In a Google search, back in May, I came across Konkai Health and decided to reach out to them.For my surgery Pam, recommended Rattinan Clinic out of Bangkok. Pam was able to connect me with the clinic to set up a consultation. The process was very easy.I recommend Konkai Health and Rattinan Clinic. Both are 10/10
