I got to get it off my chest! This is completely in the Chon Buri province my experience last 20 plus years.

First, let me be cleared I do not dislike or hate any of the personnel I've been in contact throughout the years they are just doing their job but at specific hospital it seems many are disensortized realising what they are being asked to do by these corporate giants. I wanted to add my story to the thread " dual pricing " but it closed. So here it goes I won't use the name of facility but just A, B C, hospital.

I use hospital A, for my wife and family for myself unless it is an emergency I stay far away I'm somewhat bless " knock on wood " at 74, very fit practice martial arts like a Shaolin monk, exercise play basketball with all ages once a week LOL

For years, I watch first hand hospital A, although with no insurance always pay for their services, prior to any service after seeing emergency physician if overnight next person is a clerk with clipboard " what a nasty job this person has " how is this going to be paid after price is quoted.

I've seen first hand as my niece was being rolled in for surgery stopped and request for payment, I've seen and heard an expat in pain crying out in emergency staff knowing full well what the problem was yet continue to pressure patient and friend how was surgery was going to be covered. Recently someone very close and dear had a heart attacked that needed 4 stents yet they did two, then ICU, waited until I came pay the first two then gaurantee the other stents.

Whenever, any service is needed with my own family I've used my son or wife to do all the talking and admission while I lay back out of sight never have I seen them being pressure for payment or any Thai for that matter. Years ago my nose was broken I needed it adjusted nothing major so I can breath better quoted one price, next visit quoted double I questioned the price " clerk said straight out you a Farang "

Fast forward, for the last year I as a favor for another family I was ask to be the executor for a distance relatively I've not seen in 40 years who resided in Bangkok, a fentanyl addict, long with a number of physcotic medication, along with being in poor medical and physical condition 73 but look like 93, also a hypocondriaci.l, 2 plus packs of cigarettes a day and a lifetime of marijuana use I brought him to Pattaya lease a house and he was under 24/7 private nurse care.

I continue this past year taking him back to Bangkok under medical supervisor to reduce his addiction we were successful in him quitting the fentanyl. In spite of success each time when not around a few days he demands nurses take him to hospital A, emergency there he act up and demands pain killers etc, although he had numberous blood test, hearts scans, x-ray long list in the computer majority of his symptoms come from side effects of the physcotic drugs being reduce any discomfort will tell physician pain level is 10 just so to get a fix.

So last month I got a call from his nurse high BP, fever slight cough, taking him to hospital A, I met him at emergency as soon as he exit vehicle talk a bit I knew he had pneumonia not a bad case but he has been diagnosed 20 years ago COPD, from his work given a large payout and went on SSI disability so knowing Hospital A, he was going to be told overnight observation medication. His breathing was laboring but nothing heavy with his age condition I understand the suggestion.

But what I noticed last few years especially foreigners, slightly high BP, fever it was ICU, it was no longer go upstairs to a hospital room 10,000 baht VIP, but ICU 60-80,000 a no brainier. While talking to the doctor and nurses explaining with help from my Thai nurses showing them legal documents as to who he was and medication he was taking it was imperative instructions be follow the attending physician basically made faces indicating go <deleted> myself!

Of course next up payment lady, 3 days 80,000 baht a night ICU, I signed the gaurantee, thereafter told an hour they will move him, thinking everything was OK, I had other business do had my nurse stay. Next day I learn my nurse was there for 4 hours to midnight in emergency because they were uncertain of my gaurantee they said nothing just silence.

Next morning ICU, he seems OK still laboring a bit being who he is complains about pain need medication but not for his lungs but cramps on his legs. Just let medication work I leave to have coffee downstairs when I return they had strapped him down stuck a breathing tube down his throat from there it went downhill fast. He had tubes everywhere look like I should bring a priest to bless his last moments.

3rd, day they had no clue what was wrong with him, but now office said we need a deposit of 300,000 baht, paid, seem after we paid more test were ordered, they even brought in someone to massage his leg at 5000 baht a pop, another two days one moment he is fine the next no but hospital had no problem calling me at 11pm at night to come down and pay another 300,000,

Next morning I spoke to another Doctor get him ready I'm moving him. Even with all legal documents they were saying who the F are you? I told the clerk I'm the guy that isn't going to pay another baht. I contacted his lawyers in Bangkok within an hour the tone change many of the staff realized what I was telling them being an addict and having a mental disorder not was getting the picture biggest problem because they stuck the tube down his throat he wasn't given his needed physcotic meds now was showing signs of withdraw, High BP, cry of pain.

So with Lawyers threat we started to look for alternatives down the road surrounding areas many of the hospital didn't have rooms available ICU, for someone who wanted to transfer. We were moving for two reason treatment and cost we were spending 300,000 baht every day with no end in sight. Finally that afternoon the lawyers arrange a hospital Bang Sean.

I put down 100,000 deposit for his care 7 days later, 2 in ICU, 2 in minimum ICU, 3 in a VIP room, checkout with ambulance ride back to Pattaya 62,000 baht.

This was a real eye opener but I learn and visited a number of good alternative hospital in the area. They didn't speak as much English but I felt what I saw and experience the facility were much better than Hospital A.

Not done, from this experience came another many expats visitor rave about Hospital A, and how cheap care is compare to the West. I always wonder if it is t one of these cookie cutter treatment something major like cancer what is the cost. Well, if you have in general 3 million baht or lucky to have coverage that what it would take?

If you don't, the alternatives are other government places like Queen or Burapha University but Oncology isn't fully staff Doctor comes once a week for many of the test one must go to Chon Buri Provincial where staffing visits 3 times. The wait up call is one gets there at 6:30 am, and there are hundreds waiting just to see an general doctors we finally saw one at 3pm.

With Stage 4 lung cancer limited funds this is the reality of living here.

Thanks my vent!

Learned very quickly that private hospitals are not worth it except in specific circumstances such as when you need a doctor'snote quickly or just want one special test. Use a public hospital where the doctors are trained forongoinghealth care maintenance. They will be the most up to date. The best option is a public hospital affiliated with a medical school, if there's one in your area. 300,000 baht a day might be the payroll for the entire staff for the day, perhaps the week. And always start with the pharmacist. You might have saved yourself and your relative a lot of grief with a righteous dosage of antibiotics straight from the pharmacy..

I think your view is based on a Pattaya hospital, which is to be expected. I was admitted to one some years ago, I was insured but weren't interested, took my passport and wouldn't give it back till I had paid in cash.

I have been with the hospital at Bang Saen for many years and can only say the service has been excellent. I am also registered at the Chonburi hospital although other than vaccines never been treated. My son was born there 3 weeks ago and can say again the service was excellent.

I have also used the Cancer Hospital in Chonburi for their check up service and no indication of any discrimination. I had my eyes done at Ban Phaeo and paid exactly the same as a Thai would. I know that for a fact as a few of my wife's relatives had the same operation at the same time.

You shouldn't let your views be distorted by what happens in Pattaya but acknowlege that it must be frustrating for those have to live there.

If you have ever spent time in a private hospital as an in patient you would soon learn the difference between private and public.

TLTR what happened?

Years ago I had to get an MRI in Bangkok, and they had a sign that really explained the situation. In summary, it explained "Thai taxpayers fund this hospital, so their charge is less than foreigners who do not contribute to the system." I have to admit, i said to myself, "Hard to argue with that logic."

We have health coverage with social security... same as Thai's that work here too!

I've had some very good experiences with public hospitals in Thailand. Very good care, excellent doctors, good scanning equipment and very reasonable. I would rather be in a Thai Hospital then in an American hospital, regardless of who was paying for it.

Your point is well made, since, as usual "Thai Logic + Money" = this type of result: Generally, foreign nationals cannot pay the "Thai Price" in public hospitals and are subject to higher rates, as of 2026. New regulations allow public hospitals to charge four tiers of rates, with tourists and retirees paying the highest, and working expats falling into a separate, higher category than Thais. I guess I was just referring to my personal experience.

I use a private hospital for minor things, but for major things, I use a public hospital. I have no health insurance, so the prices a private hosptial charges are just not tolerable. Public hospitals charge less, I'd say about 25% of what a private hospital charges, but the charges in public hospitals for non-citizens have gone up over the years, and have just recently increased again.

I agree with all your comments (UK hospital in my case). Had excellent service in Bangkok Christian and Thainakharin for kid's births, various operations of family members and myself, and minor ailments over the past +30 years.

Sorry to hear the OP has had issues.

I think you got the picture totally wrong though I will admit it was poorly written.

I stated very clearly my whole experience was in Pattaya, twenty years ago I did more research down the road to check on other private and public hospital. What I do know on my visit to Chon Buri, there were dead bodies in the hallways. that being said doesn't mean I have bad things to say about them nor am I complaining that no way I would be service there.

I use A,B,C, etc starting with A, most would know what hospital I'm referring to you go back and read what I experience at A,

I 've not said a single word regarding any other hospital even the one you mentioned, moving the person I'm in charge of has opened my eyes as you noted, although government I came away with positive experience when I do get sick from my experience I've already told my wife where to take me. She the system might be a bit concerning to some foreigners but I felt, Queens Swang, Buruphy University was top notch in my opinion.

As for Chon Buri, it is what it is if you have cancer no insurance and limited funds, you wait but eventually if you are registered and get use to the system will get treated.

Beyond A... I agree with you! thanks for the feedback be well!

I agree, but due to the condition of this individual when I took over his care he was already using hospital A, within the year I was slowly moving to other alternative since I knew each visit quick and easy for him, the time will come he will need more.

Remember, I noted this guy has COPD, is basically a nut case, Skidso, and Bi-polar along with being a hypocondrica, that is a dealy dose of more than going to a pharmacy. In fact, when I took over and went through his personal stock of medicine fhe would give Fascino a run for their money. I had to take 4 full tubes of over the counter medicine and perscribed medicine he had save through the years to Hospital A, to dispose when I dolly the boxes in they stare thought they were going to call the police.

With his COPD, he is already using part time oxygen units so just a bit of pnemonia a flu can be deadly for him. Since this situation we will no longer use hospital A, but have arranged everything in future to be done at Queen Swang, or Buruphy University.

Thank you for you input!

Apologies if I didn't see it clearly you were referring to Pattaya and didn't see anything to indicate a specific hospital. I went to Pattaya Memorial and know people that have been in Bangkok Hospital, nothing good about the experience.

My first visit to Chonburi hospital was in 2011 when my father in law died and I was not impressed, out of date and over subscribed. A couple of years later when it became necessary to register I told my wife I didn't want Chonburi and registered at Bang Saen.

Since then there has been significant work done at Chonburi and currently the place is like a huge building site. I have to say recent experience at the maternity unit was excellent but not having been treated myself have no idea of general practice.

Not sure what you mean with your reference to cancer and Chonburi. There are 2 separate hospitals, the main one in the town centre and the Chonburi Cancer Hospital down by the coast road.

I was treated for skin cancer at Bang Saen but I believe anything more serious gets referred to the Cancer Hospital at Chonburi rather than Chonburi hospital.

If I was not covered by insurance I would not go to a private hospital.

Being treated like a king leaves a bad taste in the mouth when presented with a large bill to pay.

I don't mentioned the hospital A by name because I know for a fact they have their International unit monitor the comment. With all the stuff I do now I'm not ready to take on a legal challenge gladly later if time.

When it comes to Chon Buri province I recently found this out. Because we know the cost of hospital A, even before the case of cancer I researched and visited Queen Swang Red Cross, then Burapha University in Bang Sean. These two have something in common that many the physician trained come from Bangkok Chulalakorn University.

In the pneumonia case we ended up removing and transporting the patient from 7 days ICU, 600,000 baht, to Burapha, Bang Sean 7 days difference less nurses dressed in tight skirts, 2 Doctors vs 5 but remember if one is reviewing bill each Doctor visit 900 baht. I found the facility both over Hospital A, better the VIP room 4,000 vs 8000, had a 42 inch TV. LOL, instead of 32.

The biggest difference is we were told a time frame vs a guess each day patient not getting better. So after 7 days at Burapha 62,000 baht vs, 600,000. He was checked out.

As for Chon Buri, I was there 20 years ago, took my wife from Hospital A, after released months later to see this one specialize and to get a feel if something's happens to me she needs continuous treatment. Sure not as fancy no A/C rooms people waiting outside in the heat along with dead bodies in the corner. For me I didn't give a <deleted> if it was me, I've been in a rat hole jail cell as long as I'm not left in the hot sun it would be fine. The wife said nothing but for me I said as long as I'm alive I will keep her out 20 years later I've done well so far.

With the cancer case Stage 4, lung went to Queen Swang spend 3 hours registration then to see a GP, told to get all test from Hospital A, come back 26th have test downloaded them wait to see GP, it was explain although the do have an Oncology department Dr. Only come once a week but for his case better to go Chon Buri Provincial where Dr's come 3 times a week. So next day we went 6:15 am, to register again didn't see doctor until 4:00 pm, again it was only a GP? Schedule another visit the next day to see another GP, scheduled wait 6 hours, after schedule an appointment with oncology for 10th of June, we walked away thinking I hope soon we going to get the needed biopsy a must know of the cell structure before talking treatment. Meantime these visits with GP, one said need to perscribed statins for his cholesterol, another said get his house in order you got at best 2-5 years and they were Oncologist.

So a week now think ok 10th, get a call nurse said we need to cancel your appointment no reason given reschedule for September. Thai wife snaps ask why my man is dying she respond can't wait go to Banglamung! After call ends wife furious we looked at each other and he said " didn't I tell you there is always one MF that ruins it "

So now we are returning to Hospital A, to see the first Oncology to schedule the biopsy once we know from the biopsy what he actually up against and the treatment needed will then worry about the cost.

In Chon Buri province i if you use government in the end they share resources but something like Stage 4, the equipment, medicine you got to go Chon Buri, small stuff can be handle by others like Queens, Burapha.

Insurance > Private.

No insurance > government.

whats hard to understand ?

People will have different opinions on this, but if we set aside those ultra–super–premium private hospitals staffed with highly experienced and highly respected professors, most private hospitals are generally suitable for minor illnesses and injuries. In those situations, the difference in actual medical quality is minimal, but the experience is much quicker, the staff tend to be more polite, the atmosphere is nicer, and everything smells better.

However, when you have a serious illness or a major injury, the best treatment you can get is usually at a large public medical center or a major university hospital. The staff there may be a bit overworked (hopefully not too much), their voices may sound a little grumpy, and they may smile less — but they are genuinely excellent at what they do. And the cost is kept as low as possible (which can still become a very mountainous amount of money if you are seriously ill).

And most of the time, access to those major public medical centers or large university hospitals doesn’t happen directly — unless you physically show up at their outpatient department or emergency room. For many people, the usual pathway is through the system: starting at a local public amphoe hospital or a tambon health center, and then being referred upward step by step.

The person I responded to was discussing Pattaya, so what do you think.

Friend of mine was a diabetic smoker and got gangrene in the foot. They cut the foot off at the heel but the wound would not heal. They then cut it off below the knee and still a healing problem. He went to Sattahip where they cut it off above the knee and it healed no problem.

Each will take their own view.
