Flights & Airport FAQ

Which airports should I fly into?
Thailand has several international airports serving medical travellers.
The most commonly used are:
  • Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK)
  • Don Mueang International Airport (DMK)
  • Phuket International Airport (HKT)
  • Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX)
  • Samui International Airport (USM)
  • U-Tapao Rayong–Pattaya International Airport (UTP)
Your ThaiCureo coordinator can recommend the most convenient airport based on your hospital location and travel itinerary.

Can ThaiCureo help me choose the best flight?
Yes.
Our coordinators can provide general guidance on selecting convenient flight schedules based on your treatment dates, recovery needs, and destination. While we do not operate airlines, we can help you plan an itinerary that minimises travel stress and supports your medical schedule.

How far in advance should I book my flight?
We recommend booking your flights after:
  • Your medical appointments are confirmed.
  • Your treatment schedule has been finalised.
  • Any required visa arrangements are in place.
Booking several weeks in advance often provides greater flexibility and better airfare options.

Should I arrive before my medical appointment?
Yes.
Whenever possible, we recommend arriving at least one to three days before your consultation or procedure. This allows time to:
  • Recover from your journey.
  • Adjust to the local time zone.
  • Complete any pre-treatment evaluations.
  • Meet your medical team.
  • Avoid unnecessary stress caused by travel delays.
Your physician may recommend a longer arrival period depending on your treatment.

Can ThaiCureo arrange airport pickup?
Yes.
We can arrange:
  • Airport meet-and-greet services
  • Private airport transfers
  • Executive vehicles
  • Family vans
  • Wheelchair-accessible transportation (where available)
  • Direct transfers to your hotel or hospital
Our goal is to ensure your arrival is safe, comfortable, and hassle-free.

What happens if my flight is delayed?
Flight delays can occur for many reasons.
If your travel plans change, simply notify your ThaiCureo coordinator as soon as possible. We will assist in coordinating with your transportation provider, hotel, and healthcare facility to minimise disruption whenever possible.

Can someone meet me inside the airport?
Yes.
For guests requesting Meet & Greet services, a representative may assist with:
  • Airport arrival guidance
  • Baggage assistance
  • Escort to your transportation
  • General arrival support
Availability depends on the airport and the service selected.

What if I need wheelchair assistance at the airport?
Most airlines provide wheelchair assistance upon request.
We recommend requesting this service directly with your airline when booking your ticket or at least 48 hours before departure.
ThaiCureo can also help coordinate accessible ground transportation after your arrival.

How much luggage should I bring?
This depends on the length of your stay and the type of treatment.
You may wish to include:
  • Comfortable clothing
  • Personal medications
  • Medical records
  • Travel documents
  • Mobile phone chargers
  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Weather-appropriate clothing
If your treatment involves surgery, loose-fitting clothing is often more comfortable during recovery.
Can I travel after surgery?
Travel recommendations vary depending on your procedure.
Your treating physician will advise when it is medically safe to fly. Factors considered include:
  • Type of surgery
  • Risk of blood clots
  • Wound healing
  • Mobility
  • Overall recovery progress
Always follow your doctor's recommendations before making travel arrangements.
