My Thai guide, Nancy, wants to show me everything she can about Thailand. She bursts into songs from “The King and I.” She explains how to politely greet a Thai person. She tells me about the floating market and temples I will see. And she talks about hospitals.
Hospitals? “Oh, yes," she says. “You came here to see the temples and the elephants, but many other visitors come for the hospitals, for surgeries. Make themselves look younger, better. Or even change from man to woman.”
Why travel? To experience new cultures, to taste new food, to see the Eiffel Tower, the Chinese Wall, the Masai Mara. But to get cosmetic surgery? A knee replacement? Fertility treatments?
