p, projected.

^a Scenario in which the number of foreign patients in Thailand is assumed to grow at a faster rate than at present (16% per year).

^b Scenario in which the number of foreign patients in Thailand is assumed to grow at half the average annual rate of 2.5% seen in 2005–2007 (possible reasons: greater competition, the establishment of hospitals overseas, or new government regulations).
