Frequently Asked

International Patient Questions

Can I bring GLP-1 medicine back to my home country?
Most countries allow personal-use import of FDA-approved GLP-1 medicines with prescription. Check your country's specific regulations: in the EU, UK, AU, and US, personal-use quantities (3-6 month supply) are typically allowed when carried personally with prescription documentation. After your consultation we provide a Medical Travel Certificate documenting your prescription, plus standardized prescription letters in English. Please check your country's specific personal-use import rules — acceptance varies by jurisdiction and we cannot guarantee it everywhere.
How does cold-chain shipping work?
Within Thailand we deliver by temperature-controlled cold-chain courier nationwide, with monitoring and a cold-chain certificate. We do not ship internationally — international patients collect their medication in person at our Pattaya clinic and carry it home as personal-use medication with documentation.
Do you handle insurance reimbursement?
We provide standardized prescription receipts and treatment records compatible with most international insurance systems. Reimbursement is between you and your insurer — we provide documentation but cannot guarantee coverage.
What if I need follow-up consultations after returning home?
All international patients get direct WhatsApp follow-up support from our clinic team. Dr. Kenika personally reviews dose adjustments and complex cases. Monthly video check-ins available. For local emergencies, we coordinate with your home-country medical providers.
What about customs and import regulations?
Personal-use prescription medicines are typically allowed across UK, EU, US, AU, SG, AE — when carried personally with prescription documentation after a Thailand visit. We provide standardized customs documentation for your return flight.
Can I get a tourist visa for medical treatment?
Most Western nationalities receive 30-60 day visa-free entry to Thailand, sufficient for the standard 1-3 day consultation visit. Medical Tourism Visa available for longer programs. We can provide treatment documentation if needed for your visa application.
Which currencies do you accept?
THB cash, USD cash, all major credit cards, and bank transfers. International credit cards have ~3% FX fee on most. USD cash payment popular for medical-tourism patients who prefer fixed-rate transactions.

INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS · TRAVEL LOGISTICS

Planning your weight-loss medical visit to Thailand

A typical international patient visit to TRT Bangkok runs 3–5 days and combines medical consultation, treatment initiation, and a recovery window. Here is what to plan for — from flight booking through return-home follow-up.

Day-by-day visit structure

Day 1 — Arrival + rest. Day 2 — Morning consultation at Pattaya clinic (or Bangkok concierge), baseline assessment, treatment plan, first injection. Day 3 — Free day for sightseeing/leisure while monitoring initial tolerance. Day 4 — Optional check-in WhatsApp or video with Dr. Kenika, prepare return-home protocol. Day 5 — Return travel with monthly supply (cold-pack travel kit provided). Most flights schedule comfortably around this timing.

Customs and import for personal-use GLP-1 medications

For most Western jurisdictions (UK, EU, US, Australia, UAE), personal-use prescription medications carried hand-luggage are typically permitted with proper documentation. We provide standardized prescription letters in English, a Medical Travel Certificate, and a treatment-record summary. Quantities up to 3-month supply are commonly accepted, though specific limits vary — we recommend checking your country's personal-import rules in advance. Acceptance varies by jurisdiction and we cannot guarantee it in every case.

Follow-up care after returning home

All international patients get direct WhatsApp follow-up support from our clinic team. Dr. Kenika personally reviews dose adjustments and any complex case-questions. Monthly video check-ins are available on request. For any local medical issues at home, we provide documentation for your home-country physician to maintain continuity of care. Refills can be coordinated either shipped to forwarding addresses, or hand-carried on subsequent visits.
