Samitivej hospital.

[alanrchase]

I visited the Bangkok Hospital in Nakhon Phatom today and the doctor gave me a referal letter and suggested Samitivej hospital. He said there were two departments, the full private hospital side and a university type hospital side. I have Googled Samitivej and found out there are several in Bangkok. He said it was Nakhon Pathom side of the Chao Phraya river which would be Samitivej Thon Buri. Does anyone have any information on this hospital such as it having private and university departments, cost, service etc.?

You are thinking of Siriraj not Samitivej.

 

Siriaj is arguably the best govetnment university hospital in the country. It is huge and has specialized clinics for about everything. 

 

Located near the riverfront on the Thonburi side. 

 

Besides its public channel, which is very crowded, it has a separate attached private hospital

More expensive thsn the public channel but unlike the gormer you can choose your doctor and directly see  the senior professors. 

 

Samitivej on the other hand is a private hospital owned by BDMS with main branch in the heart of Bsngkok and several smaller branches. Little reason to use its smaller branches but the main hospital on Bangkok  has some good doctors, though  expensive. It is completely private and  Deinitely not the place the doctor was describing to you
