Thumbs up for Air force hospital Prachuap Khiri Khan

[AliasJohn]

I recently had a small operation at San Paulo Hospital in Hua Hin and the treatment there was very good. I live in Prachuap Khiri Khan City and post op had to make the trip to Hua Hin every day for a week for dressing change. After a week I was able to have my dressing changed in Prachuap and as I am not too thrilled with the Government hospital here I went to the Wing 5 Hospital on the Air force base. What a nice surprise I had. The staff were extremely polite and very professional to say the least. They attended to my dressing without any delays and top hygiene that the local hospital could learn from. If you don't mind a bunch of military uniformed medical staff attending to you I highly recommend the Wing 5 hospital. The best news came at the end, what was costing me 500 baht in HH was only 190 baht here. All you need is your passport for initial registration and your in business.

Glad to read your post.

I have also had very good experiences at Fort Tanarat Hospital in Pran Buri district.

Ditto the military hospital in Udon. Cheap compared to a private hospital, excellent staff and amenities.

I am not sure of the official address, however it is on the only road that goes through Ao menow and is at the far southern entrance to the base about 100 metres from the gate.

In hua hin I recommend Hua Hin hospital, have had five surgeries there and they were brilliant, it's very busy but they have a room for farangs to register, 200 baht and you go to the front of the queue, you can also get an MRI for 10'000 Baht never been quoted under 20,000 anywhere else, doctors are the best.

Totally agree with the comment on Hua Hin Hospital. No complaints whatsoever about the medical services - remember to bring your own toilet paper.

Can I add that Fort Tanarat Hospital in Pran Buri does great CT scans. Had a head scan done recently (they did find a brain) for Baht 5,100, and then another scan from neck to groin for Baht 10,500. If you ask really nicely they will give you both a print and CD of the scan.
