Cataract surgery in Pattaya or surrounding area

[Nacho Libre]

My wife needs surgery on both eyes after she was diagnosed with "senile incipient cataract". It requires lens replacement and for the best lens we were quoted a price of abt 265,000 Baht at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. This is 80,000 above what the insurance will cover so we made a call to Payathai Sriracha and they quoted around 120,000 Baht for both eye. Surely something got lost in translation.

Does anyone have experience with this kind of procedure and what the cost may be? Obviously, BPH are never on the low side.

BPH would be the highest.

Being Thai Queen Siriket is probably worth looking into and would have quite a much lower cost.

PIH, Memorial, and Jomtien hospital other options.

Thanks, but I'm only considering private hospitals with a dedicated eye center (rightly or wrongly) so will head to Sriracha tomorrow to get a proper quote.

Understood.

But Queen Sirikit does have a good reputation and good doctors.

But you can't choose the doctor and difficult for f-rangs to navigate.
