Bangkok shows up repeatedly in spine-surgery searches, and Vejthani Hospital is the reason: a dedicated Spine Center with real surgical volume, not just a general hospital that also does backs.
What It Costs
| Procedure | Published price |
|---|---|
| Microdiscectomy | £4,000–6,500 |
| Spinal decompression | £4,500–7,000 |
| Single-level spinal fusion | £6,000–9,500 |
| Multi-level spinal fusion | £9,000–14,000 |
| General Thailand-wide spinal fusion estimate | $10,000–20,000 |
The pound-sterling figures come from a third-party cost guide specific to Vejthani Hospital; the dollar figure is a broader Thailand-wide aggregator estimate (Medigence, Bookimed), not tied to any one hospital. Neither is a price published by Vejthani itself — the hospital doesn’t list a fixed spine-surgery price on its own site. Ask for a written quote against your own imaging before planning a budget.

That’s one verified clinic — we’d rather say so than pad the list. How we verify clinics. The surgical volume here is the real signal: over 5,000 spinal surgeries is a genuinely high number, independent of whatever price you’re quoted.

Who Thailand Doesn’t Suit
- If you want a single published price before you ask. Both figures above come from third parties, not Vejthani’s own price list — budgeting precisely before a quote isn’t realistic here.
- If your case is complex or multi-level. High surgical volume is reassuring, but ask directly about the named surgeon’s experience with cases like yours.
- If you can’t return for follow-up. Spinal hardware and fusion outcomes need checking after the fact — plan for at least one follow-up visit or a clear remote-monitoring arrangement.
What to Bring
- All spine imaging — MRI and any CT or X-ray — on disc, not just written reports
- Your referring specialist’s letter and specific diagnosis
- A record of conservative treatment already tried: physiotherapy, injections, medication, and for how long
- Current medication list, especially anticoagulants
- Any previous spine surgery details, including implant information if applicable
