However, Thailand is one of the preferred destinations for medical tourism. Medical treatment and plastic surgery industries produce continual growth.
The beautiful beaches, vibrant natural surroundings, and happy citizens attract diverse global tourists. Over 50 million people visit here for many sectors of tourism.
