Are there any recommended psychiatrists in Thailand?  Bangkok perhaps?  I'm thinking of living there long term and would like to have one available to see.

Maybe you know what you are looking for. But many people confuse psychiatrists and psychologists.

Better confirm if you look for a psychiatrist or psychologist.

As above and assuming you mean pyschiatrist please specify type of problem as they have sub specialties.

 

Thailand has a severe shortage of mental health professionals but there are a few  good ones in Bangkok.  Expensive though.

 

There are a small number of government pysch hospitals which cost much less but are crowded. 

 

 

Many are badly needed in Thailand

Psychiatrist as in able to prescribe pills.

 

Hopefully English speaking and trained in Western Medicine as well.

There are some in Bangkok but again,they have subspecialties so I need to know type of problem. If not comfortable posting it  send me a PM. 

Any suggestions for Chiang Mai?

Any number of psychaitrists there  -- and a government psych hospital -- but few if any who trained and worked in a Western country.

 

With psychiatry in particular this is very important.  Cultural differences can seriously impede diagnosis.

 

I suggest you stick to the western trained psychiatrist I recommended by PM. You will not find anyone of her caliber upcountry.

 

Note that the air in Chiang Mai is unbreathable (literally the worst air pollution in the world) for a couple of  months a year. So even if you choose to live there should plan on traveling at least once a year for a couple of months.
