Thai hospitalisation is not second to none in south east asia with a better cost than the west . Most of the Middle East people come to Thailand for low cost hospitalisation. Thailand will soon announced to be not only the food hub of the world but also madical hub for Asia.Hope you are getting well soon.

One of the best medical hub in the world. I've been living in Thailand for 5 years now. So impressed with the cost and service.

Hope you get well soon! The Thai Medical System is one of the most effcient and cost-effective in the world which is why the country is known for its medical tourism to an extent!

I hope Tia gets well soon. In case you didn't know Thailand is a "medical tourism hub in Asia". Meaning people from around the world come to Thailand for treatment especially from neighboring countries like Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Middle Eastern, and European too. So if you want to get it fix better do it here (in Thailand) first before you move to other places (country). At least it is affordable and efficient. What you pay ain't cheap but I don't want to alarm you but what that is a private hospital, you pay more but at least it is fast, you get to see specialist and service is good. At least it is cheaper than in US (i guess).

Pretty impressive that you can just walk in and get a same day MRI. Would not happen in Canada unless you're in the NHL! Lucky for you. Wishing for good health for you!!

ขอให้หายเร็วๆนะคะ ขอบคุณที่มาเที่ยวประเทศของเรา คุณผู้หญิงยิ้มสวย น่ารักมาก ตูอยู่ทุกEp ค่ะ

Just a tip from my experience with anti-inflammatory/muscle relaxers (might be different for you), but I INSTANTLY felt better the next day. No pain whatsoever. Just remember that feeling better doesn't necessarily mean you ARE better. It took about little over a month before I was able to go running again which was the source of my injury. So good plan you two taking a break. Stick to it!

Hope Tia’s back will get better quickly and you guys would have a fun journey again.U might consider change the travel option from rent motorcycle to rent a car or take a bus instead if Tia’s back still hurt. I’m sure now many Thais are following ur channel and willing to help if u have any emergency. PS. Thailand medical treatment system is one of easy, convenient accessibility compared to USA(New York city to be exactly which I had lived for couple years) and Japan (which I traveled and got sick) including price range for treatment which is much cheaper than those 2 countries that I experienced. All I mentions is based on Private hospital. BUT if u go to Public hospital, it will be totally different. Price will be extremely cheap but so crowded with a massive queue.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, Tia! Hope everything works out, and you guys can hit the road on that motorcycle!

So glad you had a good experience - take good care of our Tia and give her a big hug ( but a gentle one )

Get well soon Tia. Looking forward to your Mae Hong Song motorcycle trip later on. I've been eager to make a motorcycle trip there too but the current situation spoilt everything.

wish you getting better soon Tia then you can enjoy the rest and future of your trip ❤

I love seeing how you are dealing with real life issues that come up! That makes me more comfortable knowing when I travel to new places that it's possible to deal with things without it being too scary. I know this video is a month old, but I hope Tia is feeling much much better!!! At the rate I've been binging I should be caught up soon. lol

I'm so impressed by their medical system. I'm ashamed to say it, but it seems way better there, than in Canada. We would've been waiting for 12 hrs. Not even exaggerating. So glad that it went smoothly for you Tia. Glad that you can heal!

Glad you (Tia) went to get proper medication. From my experience with slipped disc years ago, swimming helps a lot to build up the back muscle and relief the pain. Speedy recovery. Love to your smiles.

Thanks for sharing this experience, not weird at all. Take a good rest, Mae Hong Song will always be there, no hurry. Good health is more important, get well soon Tia, and cheers to both of you!

You will enjoy Maehongson round route for sure. I did the bicycle tour for this route for 7 days. The first time was 20 years ago. The last time was 15 years ago when I was 55, very fit and I biked up the highest peak Doi Inthanon 2565 meters above sea level, very hard and totally exhausting. Those were the days. In the old days, there were hardly any cafe along the route, but judging from several KZfaqrs for the last few years, there are now plenty that you can rest and refresh with fresh coffee and cake.

I'm praying that rest and those meds will get her back on her feet. My friend has that issue with her back. She is doing physical therapy and has those meds. You guys be easy; you take care of that young lady. 👊😎

It total different a hospital in states. I have to wait almost a month to see my Doctor for check up. In emergency case u can go to hospital but without insurance my wife paid $1500 to clean her little cut from accident.

Hope you get well soon, Tia!! We're looking for your video and see your smile in happiness...

15 million foreigner come to Thailand for Hospital care. and for Asia our medical class is super hight . Then u dont have to worry about quality 💪🏻❤️

Hey Tia, so glad you got checked out! I hope you get feeling better real soon . good choice in food Tumeric is great for inflamation ! Love you guys!❤

Your smiles always made me smile. Glad to finally know that Tia's condition is not too serious. MRI cost around $300 which I think quite cheap. Actually private hospital service in Thailand is world class. However some few high class hospitals might charge very expensive which you should look up for info quite easily using google (you will ask yourself agsin snd again is this a hospitsl or 5-stars hotel room cause it is actually 5-stars). Enough wrote, wish Tia will be back with healthy back and make me hungry at midnight again and again. Looking forward to that. God bless ;)

Hope you get well soon หายป่วยไวๆ 💪👍🤗

Happy that you got some answers. Back injury is no joke. Keep up those smiles. I miss Thailand so much and watching your videos just takes me back :-)... Take it easy the next couple of days but don't stop the videos 👌

You guys are just so amazing! I love the energy! I know back pain all too well! It put me out of work 6 months before actually quitting my job since it was the source of my injury. Even now it flares occasionally but nothing in the past year so I keep my fingers crossed lol. Take it easy I hope you feel better soon! I just went to a Biryani place in Bangkok which was super delicious. My boyfriend and I ordered more than 1 plate lol

I second how great Thai health care is! I got a trapped nerve in my neck in Samui and got fantastic care. And the cost was miniscule in comparison with the USA.

Get well soon. Our health is the most important asset. Getting things right at the first start is better. Take care.

Hi guys, I’m proud of you going to the hospital, it must have been quite daunting, especially since Thailand is not your home country ofcourse ( eventho the medical system, in general, is very good!) you mentioned it might have been (a) bulging disc(s), glad you have got an answer now and got meds to try and sort it out! Well done for not going tithe chiropractic yet (although maybe for later it might be good for appraising your posture). More yoga might help as well maybe? All In all, you must have been in quite a lot of pain, and it’s not nice to see your partner in pain at all. Take it easy, find a nice hotel with comfy (but not too soft ;) matrasses, good loungers and Please don’t do the loop until you feel loads better. Meds might give a false security and we are happily here to wait untill your next adventures begins for sure. You guys take it slow and recuperate! ☀️

You may take dental visit while you’re waiting in Chiang Mai. I’m sure that there is many dentist clinics there.

@Tia Hope you get well soon. I had the same back pain like you have many times. Most of the time, it took me about 2 weeks to get better. My body heals by itself. I only took pain killer when I felt hurt. Be careful about massage though…if they do not know the right way to massage for healing a back pain, it can hurt you more.

I think you have a good approach to this situation of pain in the back, and doing research beforehand. I would also read reviews online to confirm from various sources. When having certain issues I thought this hospital would be a good option as well. Currently I have something similar in my back and I'm in TH. This video came up on my feed which is coincidental. Because my experience with this type of low back pain isn't anything new, as I've had it happen periodically for years, I understand I need to patiently wait it out. But I can really understand the need to want a solution faster when the body wants to take its time in healing, so I'm currently shuffling along as best as I can for a few days.

Hope Tia get well soon. And wish both of you a memorable trip in Thailand northern region again. FYI: there are a lot of tight angle curves as well as slopes along the way to Mae Hong Son. This need a lot of attention and concentration for drivers/riders when using this route. Some passengers might get carsick during this route.

Just some information Thailand Medical services are ranked quite highly in the world for cost and efficiency. The major difference from the US is that you don't have to drag yourself from the hospital to CVS or Walgreens to get your prescription, which in my option is quite tedious. Thai hospitals are a one stop shop in itself so you can get your prescribed drugs right after you pay at the hospital and go home, you don't have to struggle to find the nearest CVS or Walgreens etc... If you go to Hospitals in Bangkok (ie. Bumrungrad) they usually accept all major US insurance (ie. Blue Cross/Blue Shield etc...) you can do a claim with these insurances but you pay first and clear later when back in the US. As a final note, Thai hospitals as you go to the larger well known and established ones (ie. Samithivej, Bangkok Hospital etc..) tend to look like a mall with everything in it from Starbucks, 7-11, and some other form of convinces to cater to your every needs. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and glad you had a positive experience at the hospital. Take it easy. I just saw this wonderful weekend market in Chiang Mai called Jingjai Market on another channel. Lots of beautiful handicrafts. Maybe time for some shopping therapy.

I hope that your back is feeling stronger now. Don’t forget to ice your back to help the inflammation and rest. Be well

Omg, You get MRI imaging so fast.

get well soon. I will cheer for you. ขอให้คุณหายป่วยไวๆ ฉันจะเป็นกำลังใจให้คุณ.....

I have the same exact issue after i hard fell on my back few years ago. The problem resurfaces every 6 months to a year depending on if i did some kind of lifting or bending that causes herniated disc. Problem usually goes away with in 2 weeks naturally. Body will get rid of the disc fluid touching the nerves. There is no oral medication that will fix this problem. Only way to fix it permanently is to get a surgery where they will remove a part of the disc causing hernia. Avoid MRI/Xray unless absolutely necessary, it reduces your life span.

Omg, what do mean you're American. I thought you were Canadian 😂🤦🏾‍♀️. I'm glad your experience went well at the hospital. I've had very mixed experiences in CNX, and really appreciated the competency & efficiency at Bangkok. Great if you have insurance, not so great if you're paying out of pocket. 🤐. Wishing you a speedy recovery Tia, so you can get back to feeling your best again! 🤗

I root for Tia with all my heart! Hope you get well very soon and thank you for trusting our hospitals. 🙏🇹🇭 Anyway 10700 thb for Thai like me makes my eyes pop out because we usually go to the gov hospitals with our free medical card (called THE GOLD CARD). The quality of our gov hospital doctors are similar to the private ones. Only medicines that change. (Cheap vs Expensive medicines). We Thais never make appointments with doctors, we are so accustomed with “walk-in”. So the western hospital protocols (appointments only and wait for a week) are the puzzle for us.

Hoping your back feels better soon!

Some of the best places to eat in Thailand are at hospital canteens. I personally think Thai hospitals are among the MOST caring in the world.❤❤❤

Hope you feel well soon. I have a similar problem. Chronic back pains. I began visiting a chiropractor almost a year ago. I was skeptical, most people are scared and think is a scam. After a year I can say it's totally worth it. Getting your joints adjusted is important. I go once every two weeks. Cost is $25 (here in US) and I haven't suffered chronic pain since. I can sense the stiffness coming back if I go too long without going. I just look at it like getting a massage.

Another options of Hospital in Chiang Mai, I do prefer Bangkok Hospital and Sripat Hospital. Chiang Mai ram is also good one but it quite little bit pricey for me. when compare the same price range with Bangkok Hospital which offer more luxurious than Chiang Mai ram. Many famous doctors around Northern region of Thailand, They are vey professional, kind and very polite. I found many time that when I was in doctor's room for warp up "in hospital" they do kindly asking that can I afford for this expense? they provide many option for me. no need to pay for pricey price in fancy hospital. Surprisingly that when s/he told me like this a lovely nurse always laugh and say " I heard nothing khaa." this is happen to me 3-4 time in 2021. I do live in good country, and I still believed that vast majority of people still care for other more than money..... BTW, hope Tia getsbetter!

Chiang Mai Ram Hospital is one of the a good private hospital in Chiang Mai. I went to get RT-PCR test there for a covid travel certificate. Quick and friendly service and the test result arrived within the same day at no extra cost.

Hello i hope your back gets better soon. Please just rest and relax. Stay safe you two. 👍💕💕

Hope you feel better! Get well soon.

Get well soon, looking forward to watch your next video 🥰

Get well soon Tia.Best wishes to you both.

Get well soon. Looking forward to the next trip NA KA :)

Thai King set up many hospital long time ago and today it become one of the best hospital system in the world. A lot of scholarship, school and money from the King families.

i hope Tia gets well pretty soon. Safely Journey

ขอให้สุขภาพร่างกายแข็งแรงนะครับ

Take a deep breath, think positively take rest,all will be well.My Buddy is there to help you out.

Hope you will get better soon and still enjoy your trip in Thailand

My wife and i have travelled from Norway to Thailand to visit hospitals there. Even tho its free in Norway we like the modern private hospitals there, Can enjoy a holiday if my back hurt :) Two disc dislocated in my lower back and chiropractor, massage and medicine fixed it. Public health service is also good there.

Sincerely hope that you feel 100% really soon Tia 🤗

Thai Medicare actually rank #5 in the world

I feel your pain. I’ve had a bad back since 1977. Eat healthy, swimming, no running,, the stronger your stomach muscles are, it will help. Medical is first step, but holistic methods seem to work best for me. Massage, chiropractor with a spinal decompression machine (rack), Inversion boots or the teeter machine are good. My back usually feels better in Chiang Mai because it’s hot and humid and massages are cheap. Lift with your legs. Hope you feel better.

Tia get well soon. Both are very lovely.

Sorry you are having to go through this. I am not sure but that looks exactly like the hospital I went to once. Wow they where very professional and got treated right away. Nothing serious but involved an xray and consult and meds. Came to about $65. When you take the bike trip maybe you can get one of those elastic back support wide belts that workers wear. anyway relax and rest the back.

💓 Get well soon, Wish you good health.

I hope your get well soon.🥰

Take care and get well soon.

this information is so important and useful~~~~~ thank you ~~~

as someone with a herniated disc in my lower back I feel for you....get a doctor to recommend a strecthing routine, helped me a lot...but it really just takes time and attention to not put yourself in situations that will agrravate it...good luck guys!!

Get well soon na ka, take care ❤️🤗🤗🤗

Get well soon!

Great to see you getting things better like that! I also saw that Lisa and Josh should get back to Chiang Mai as well, so I suppose you will meet up again? xD

in Thailand if you go The hospital can see a doctor right away. But not in America, seeing a doctor only requires an appointment. This is the advantage of Thailand that foreigners like to come here for medical treatment. I know because a lot of Americans have come.

An MRI on my wrist in the US a few years ago cost us $800-1000, not including the office visit...so, wow! I had a bulging disc or two in my neck while traveling for business. I remember the pain well - everything hurt. Standing, sitting, walking - nothing relieved it. I'm really sorry! Along with anti-inflammatory, they also sent me to physical therapy and that was *really* helpful - even more than the drugs. Maybe they have something similar there? Heal quickly!

About 2.5 years ago I had a partially detached retina and went to Hua Hin public hospital. I had to wait for 120 people who were in front of me. By lunch time the diagnosis was confirmed and laser surgery completed! Cost was $110!!!

In my experience, natural treatments such as infrared therapy and spinal decompression do a better job of healing the bulging disc, instead of just hiding the pain with meds. I'm on my 4th week of decompression therapy for my bulging disc, and 85% better now 😊. Hope you're feeling better with a fast recovery.

Thank you for sharing

Get well soon, take care.

Had budging disks for years, "spine decompression" is the only non-drug treatment that made a huge difference. Good luck.

If you want to go to Maehongsorn you better go by mini bus and rent a motorcycle there .It more comfortable and safe . Wish you all have a good health in Chinese New Year.

So pleased you had a good experience 🙂 Hope we painted an accurate picture!

Hope all goes well w/ healing process 😀... In the future, you may want to consider acupuncture which has worked very well for some folks!

Get well soon, Tia 🙏🏻😌💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Hope Tia get well soon.

hopefully youre back heals fast , youre still young and you guys are fit so it should be ok , probably happened from stepping of a ledge or bumping arounf on public transport that started the inflamation take rest but make sure you dont weaken youre core muscles , my therapist campared it to a tall radio mast that has tieropes to hold it up and straight , if these rope slack on one side the mast will bent unaturally and its the same with muscles around youre back , if the back flexes too mush on one side it can cause nervepinching after youre back is no longer painfull you ight want to talk to a qualified personal trainer about some mat exercises for corestrength i do these too , the superman on hands and knees then stretch left arm and right leg and immitate a plank or eeehr superman , hold out for a 10 count then back on hands and knees and do the other side i do this as often as feels good stretch out on youre elbows with youre legs tight and youre belly up and hold for a few counts (basicly half a pushup) puchup hinging from youre knees instead of youre toes are lighter and less stressfull on youre lower back on youre back with youre feet flat on the floor and lift youre bum with shoulders on the mat for a few counts on youre back with youre feet flat on the floor and lift youre bum then stretch one leg at a time with shoulders on the mat for a few counts on youre back feet flat on the floor and do verry small pushups touching youre knees with youre finger tips (if this goes whell try putting youre feet and knees apart a little and move to left or right knee with both hands one after the other during crunches if that goes well touch with elbows while interlocking youre fingers in youre neck ) on youre back feet flat on the floor lift youre shoulders and head of the floor and and swing left and right touching right or left heel with youre fingertips on youre back flat on the floor and lift both legs off the ground while stretched (this one hurt) you can put youre hands under youre bum to protect youre tailbone a little all these exersizes forces youre body to counter the inbalance and beside strengthen youre core it allso causes shaking / muscle groups tightening for balance while doing these exercises and make sure theres someone there to help you up off the ground (been there done that) I'M NO EXPERT THIS IS JUST WAT LOW IMPACT GROUND EXERCISES I DO TO KEEP FROM GETTING BACKPAIN TALK TO A PROFESSIONAL BEFORE TRYING THEM

I hope Tia gets well soon. I have been following you guys since your first arrival to Thailand. That Mae Hongsorn loop on motor bike might not be a good idea to Tia’s back, pls be careful and consult doctor first. I might have missed when you mentioned what caused Tia’s back pain. Can u repeat again what caused it? If it is disc slip, you might need physical therapy after the nerve inflammation subsides. All the best to you both, esp Tia!

ขอให้หายเร็วๆ

My L4-L5 disc extruded (exploded) out 11mm. I couldn’t walk after that. I’m glad Tia’s back got better without need for any surgery and glad it was a good deal in Thailand.

Wishing u getting well soon.

Get well soon Tia & take your time! I had to visit a Thai hospital twice in all those years. A motocycle accident in Pai and a Tonsil infection (bot used to airco) in BKK. Both experiences have been amazing & really been taken care off.

Hi. Just subscribed and started watching your vlogs. Tia ok? No surgery needed? I had a bad car accident years ago that messed up my back, no surgery but aches and pain ever since. Good luck on your travels!

Good luck with your back and wishing you a speedy recovery. We're staying in Thapae Loft in April is it a good hotel?

Get well soon Tia.

Get well soon "Tia" ^___^

Get well soon Tia

I wish you good health and keep making good videos

Fan from Thailand : wish u to get well soon.

get well soon ❤️❤️

I hope you get well soon 🙏🙏🙏

Hope you get better ASAP.

Glad things are relativity ok. And got answers in time to get your back heal and fixed up. And you wonder what the F*&$ is wrong with our US healthcare system where it requires a long appointment and schedule to have a MRI done and the cost of the same procedure where they charged 10x more than what they charged in Thailand. Just a realization that it’s not all pretty in the US and taking care of health can be done outside of US. It reassures everyone travelers that it can be done, safely and cost effective as well. Thanks. Speedy recovery

Every comment and encouragement ..you will recover soon for sure. I believe so and get well soon
