A plain guide to post-hospital care options in Thailand — written without pressure to choose one immediately.
"Most people leaving hospital in Thailand don't know what level of care they actually need — and the options aren't always explained clearly."
Each option below explains what it involves, who it's appropriate for, and what it typically costs.
One-on-one personal care during recovery — sometimes called a home nurse, visiting nurse, or bedside nurse. A private nurse has clinical training and can assist with wound care, medication management and vital sign monitoring. Present with you at your hotel, apartment, or home.
1,500–5,000 THB
per shift, depending on hours and clinical level
Includes a full request form, FAQ, and comparison with home care.
View details & request care →Part-time or full-time support at home — help with daily tasks, meals, and medication reminders. Less intensive than a private nurse. Suitable when you're mostly independent but still need practical assistance during recovery.
800–1,500 THB
per visit or shift
Includes what to expect, typical schedules, and how it compares to a private nurse.
View details & request care →Short-term facility-based recovery — sometimes called a convalescence stay or post-op accommodation. For people who are not ready to go straight home after hospital discharge but don't need continued hospital-level care.
Varies widely
by facility type, location, and duration
Includes what a recovery stay includes and how to decide if it fits.
View details →Structured programs to rebuild strength and independence — physio, physical therapy, and follow-up care after surgery or illness. Distinct from nursing care: focused on regaining function rather than managing immediate post-surgical needs.
Per-session or package
rates vary by clinic and program type
Includes how to find a suitable program and what to ask before committing.
