This year, many headed out to foreign lands for vacation, adventure, tourism, or just a beautiful beach.
But how about hip surgery or a multiple bypass or a facelift? Thailand is an exotic vacation spot known for its Buddhas, its beaches and the bustle of Bangkok.
Thousands of people are heading to exotic destinations for an escape, but the trip isn't for a casual vacation. Medical tourism is reaching its peak as more people head overseas for cosmetic surgery or orthopedic procedures. Destination spas and wellness centers around the globe are catering to the rising trend of world travelers who are booking rooms for not only rest and relaxation, but a complete body makeover as well. Since private care at many American and European hospitals can be so costly, many are seeking treatment abroad in Thailand.
