💡 Pro Tip: “Thai Hospitality (Omotenashi).” Thailand’s greatest asset is its service culture. Your nurses and receptionists will naturally be warmer than in the West. Train them to upscale this natural hospitality into “Medical Concierge” service.
⚠️ Ownership Alert: “Foreign Business Act.” A foreigner cannot own 100% of a clinic in Thailand (usually max 49%). You need a Thai partner or a BOI (Board of Investment) promotion if eligible. Consult a top-tier lawyer.
