Treatments & prices in Bangkok
ImportedEvery treatment this condition maps to, cheapest first — diagnostics before treatments. Each links to its full price comparison. One pathway per patient; we never sum options into a fake total.
| Treatment | Type | Local price | from ≈USD | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tissue and Specimen Analysis (Biopsy) | diagnostic | THB 120,000–THB 120,000 | $3,570 | unverified |

Actinic keratosis is a rough, scaly patch of sun-damaged skin — on the face, scalp, ears, hands or other exposed areas — that is often easier to feel than to see. It is pre-cancerous: a small number progress to squamous cell skin cancer, so treatment matters.
How it is diagnosed:
- Examination of the skin
- Skin biopsy to rule out cancer
How it is treated: cryotherapy (freezing), topical creams, laser or photodynamic therapy, with careful sun protection to prevent more. Compare the priced treatments in the menu above.
Clinical facts: MedlinePlus (U.S. National Library of Medicine), 2026. Consultation and treatment ranges are unverified 2025 market imports until re-checked.

When flying pays off — the break-even line
Modeled previewThe go/no-go math everyone does on a napkin, done transparently: price here plus trip costs from United States (change in the header) — flying beats staying when your quote at home is above the line.
| Treatment option | Price here | + Trip (est.) | Flying pays above |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cryotherapy 5-night modeled trip | from $45 | ≈ $2,190 | ≈ $2,240 |
Trip = flights, hotel, transport and medication from the same model as the all-in estimates — labeled estimates, not quotes. If your quote at home is below the line, staying home wins on pure price; quality, waits and urgency are separate calls — see the MCI index above.
