I saw Dr. Panya two months ago based on Sheryl's advice and he is clearly supremely knowledgeable about knees and surgery.

Would an Orthopaedics doctor could help with a sprained ankle that will not heal or there's a specialist for such condition?...

Sprained ankles can take surprisingly long time to heal, mine 6+ weeks

If he's still there, Dr. Mason Porramatikul at Bumrungrad did arthroscopic knee surgery to my right knee over 10 years ago and I have had no trouble with it since then.

Orthopedic doctors often have sub-specialties and there are some who spcialize in foot & ankle.

 

For ankle problem I suggest:

(same doctor, different hospitals, second will cost a bit less)

 

or

If cost is an issue, I've had good knee consultations with orthopedic Dr. Somchai Kuptniratsaikul at Bangkok Christian Hospital on Silom.

BCH is generally "walk-in", no appointment necessary.  Bring your passport.

BCH is an older but excellent hospital, far less expensive that Bumnungrad, BNH, etc.
