index 100 = median across the 6 Thailand cities we price · lower = cheaper. Bangkok's median entry ≈ $1,040 from 173 priced procedures — early data, and each city prices a different basket, so read it as a guide, not a verdict.

The other axis — is the care good? — is a country rating from external world indices, shown on the Thailand page.
