Australian Airlines are about/have started direct flights Sydney to Phuket. Tell your friend to ring a local travel agent to get the latest details.

What kind of surgery ?? Kind of makes a difference no ??

Phuket Bangkok Hospital is probably the highest end place around on Phuket.

Knee ligaments.. not nice.. had mine opened up a few times..

If he knows exactly what needs doing contact them for a quote..

http://www.phukethospital.com/ I see they have a specialist joint and spine center for keyhole surgery etc..

These people claim to be specialists but I see no need to involve them unless they can get better deals or arrangments.. http://www.phuket-health-travel.com/
