Whether you are recovering from a car accident, surgery, or any other kind of trauma, you need to be in the right environment, away from the pressure you normally deal with. Thailand has long been the go-to place for wellness and spa treatment and here are just a few of the reasons why.

Low cost of living –
Resting up in Thailand is very affordable and you can choose from a range of accommodations, from a condo unit to a luxurious pool villa. The south is the tropical region of the Land of Smiles and most people choose Koh Samui or Phuket. Where you can relax and enjoy the great weather and your recovery will be swift. Many people have surgery in Thailand, due to the high standards and affordable costs and almost all recuperate in a coastal part of Thailand.
Healthy eating –
Fresh fruit and vegetables are available year-round, plus you have so many traditional Thai restaurants with delicious menus. The right diet promotes rapid recovery and a morning fruit smoothie is just what the doctor ordered. If you like spicy food, you will love southern Thai cuisine, otherwise make sure the cook knows you are not a chilli lover!
Nursing assistants are available –
If you need some day-to-day assistance, there are agencies that provide English-speaking carers, who are experienced in helping people recover their health. If you need golfers elbow treatment, there are specialists who can treat you at home if you prefer. A full range of care services can be found with an online search and you can arrange everything prior to your arrival.
Forget your worries –
We all have to deal with stuff on a daily basis, yet for the best recovery, you should fly to a tropical paradise and forget about home for a couple of weeks. Mental health is an integral part of overall health and well-being, inform your boss or if you run a business, have one of your managers hold the fort while you recover. You will not have time to think about the future when in Thailand and if it is the peace and quiet you want, there are very secluded villas for rent at reasonable prices. Who knows, you might love Thailand and decide to retire there.
Boost your immune system –
Vitamin D is found in natural sunlight and Thailand has more sunshine hours than any other country. Of course, you shouldn’t be exposed for too long, just long enough for your skin to absorb that essential Vitamin D. A weak immune system will seriously hamper recovery; consult with your doctor if you feel fatigued or notice anything odd.
