NamKangMan Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) You may have to physically attend each hospital to get reliable information. You could also call the ambulance station in that area. They may have trasported him to the hospital. Who contacted his mother?

stevenl Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 If not specifically indicated otherwise at the time of the accident, from that area Vachira is the most likely destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketsub Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 You might also try Rungwawee Mansion, right across the street from Vachira on Yaowarat Road (just north of main entrance, opposite side of the road.) It's cheaper and you wouldn't have to deal with motorbikes and the risks/hassles involved. 222/4 Yaowarach Road Muang PhuketPhuket, Thailand 83000Contact : 6676-213275 6676-223580-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiebrian Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) If he has insurance, I would suggest to get him out of Vachira. If he can be transfered to Bangkok Phuket hospital would be a lot better, but much more expensive. If he can be transfered to Bangkok, Siriraj Hospital would be the best and not expensive.

Somtamnication Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Most doctors at Wachira also work at these other hospitals. That hospital has improved tremendously over the past few years. As has the new orborjor hospital and other local health centers. Anyway, your friend is in good hands, OP. Have a safe trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I like Bangkok Phuket or Phuket International (Siriroj) better, more comfortable, but I would not call them better hospitals. If he prefers more comfort and has insurance both hospitals are good options, if not medically necessary I see no reason at all to move somebody to Bangkok.
