Putsadee Pornphol, Chantinee Naveevong, and Suphamit Chittayasothorn
Abstract— Medical tourism in Thailand is recognized as one of the top three in the world. There are many medical tourists coming to Thailand for having medical treatments every year, getting surgery, beauty treatment, and cosmetic surgery. The main factors leading Thailand to become a major destination in medical tourism are the expertise of the doctors, advanced medical tools and technologies, and, especially, reasonable prices. Moreover, Thailand is a great place for rehabilitation after the medical tourists have had medical services, due to Thailand having many beautiful tourist attractions with convenient accommodations at affordable prices, various choices of cuisines, as well as the thousands of Thai people ready to welcome tourists to the Kingdom of Thailand. This paper presents a concept about the requirement of the information systems support for potential growth of medical tourism in Thailand, while market competition is increasing. Therefore an information system that works on cloud computing for cosmetic clinic management was developed by the cooperation of researchers, doctors and network service providers who are famous and professional in terms of service to both the private and the public sectors.
