Private Long-Term Care Facility Beds — Thailand
~20,000–30,000 registered beds
Thailand's formal private long-term care sector is estimated to have 20,000–30,000 registered beds across nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, and dementia-care centers, the majority concentrated in Greater Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and resort destinations (Phuket, Hua Hin) that attract both Thai retirees and foreign nationals. The Department of Health (DOH) registers elder-care facilities under the Nursing Home Act; actual bed supply including unregistered community-based care facilities is likely higher. Demand projections by the National Institute for Child and Family Development (NICFD) estimate Thailand will need 400,000–600,000 additional LTC beds by 2040 to meet demographic demand — a supply gap that represents a generational investment opportunity.
