Wine and Dine in Bangkok’s Deluxe Hospitals

The City of Angels, Bangkok now has another first to its name. It has redefined medical tourism in South-East Asia by introducing haute cuisine in its deluxe hospitals. Hospital food, for most of us is bland, gross, unappetising but a critical component of in-patient care and its taste was never questioned. But Bangkok’s tourism czars have turned conventional theory on its head by offering the finest food and wines in private hospitals. And they seem to be laughing all the way to the bank.

For most wage-earners in Asia, booking special packages on holiday to Bangkok is a distant dream. But if you are visiting Bangkok for a surgery or medical treatment then the best you can do is turn your trip into a gastronomical experience by exploring its plush hospitals that offer the finest food and wines.

Revamped food courts, sandwich bars, delis, bakeries, take-away joints have mushroomed within hospital complexes that offer a range of treats to tempt even the most jaded palates. However, don’t be surprised, to see a Mcdonald’s, Subway or Burger King outlet inside a hospital the next time you tour Bangkok.

South Indian, Chinese, Continental, Egyptian, Lebanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Bangkok’s hospitals promise world cuisine to its patrons. With expert chefs working round the clock to prepare dishes that are in line with the dietary restrictions imposed on patients, Bangkok’s medical tourism industry has made a sincere effort to introduce an element of novelty in patient care without compromising on the health and well being of patients.

No wonder Bangkok has emerged as the destination of choice amongst medical tourists worldwide. Check it out yourself!
