Hospital pregnancy Chonburi/Rayong

[Torso84]

Hello,

 

I am looking for a hospital recommendation in Chonburi or Rayong province for my wife to follow her pregnancy.

She has an insurance does does not cover completely pregnancy, and so we are looking for a hospital that does not charge so high money like Bangkok Pattaya, and where people can speak English.

 

I was told that Phyathai Sriracha may be a good option as private hospital.

What about Pattaya international hospital and Pattaya Memorial Hospital ?

 

Are there any good public hospitals as well ? 

 

Thanks in advance.

As far as I'm aware Government hospitals don't allow husband's inside the delivery room.

I went to Queen Sirikit. I chose it as it has a ICU incase of any issues.

Apart from not being allowed inside I was happy with the service and cost.

Several good public hospitals but Englush soeaking (except by the doctors and sometimes even them) very limited to none. Also very, very crowded and usually cannit arrange to have husband present for delivery or other opyions you might want.

 

For private hospitals Phyathai Sri Racha and Pattaya Memorial would be my recimmendations.

 

I am assuming your wife is not a Thai citizen?

Thank you for your recommendation. Yes, my wife is not Thai but Chinese.

 

Do you have an idea of the cost difference between Phyathai, Memorial hospital and Bangkok hospital Pattaya ?

Last month we had a blood test at Phyathai Sriracha of pre-pregnancy and paid nearly 6000THB just for this blood test. After asking why it was so expensive, they said it is quick result laboratory, or something like that.

We were not suspecting it to be so expensive so we didn't even bother ask for the price in the first place.

Both places are quite a bit less than BPH. BPH is the most expensive hospital in Pattaya area and arguably in the whole country.

 

One thing you have to watch out for at private hospitals is unnecessary caesarean section. They tend to ormote this. Choose your doctor with care if you eant a natural birth. At Phyathai contact Gavin Wadell [email protected] in their intetnational dept for recommendation.

 

What was the blood test that cost 6k?
