Thai medical care is as good as anywhere in the world. If you go into a doc’s office you’ll see diplomas and certificates on the wall from American or UK schools as well as Asian. Their education program sends medicos worldwide for their training. They have state of the art equipment, too. The injured have as good a chance there as anywhere.

Thailand is not a third world country. More like second world and first in many aspects.

At some locations, yes. Most all of the private hospitals such as Bangkok Hospital Group do not have trauma centers. There is only one good trauma center in Bangkok... well that I would trust with taking someone to. The others are a toss up.

They are when it comes to medical care. First responders have close to no medical training. Everything is scoop and run. There is no patient assessment taught. No monitoring of vitals. It is bad. There are a few crews in the city that I would trust but very few.
