Anyone have experience with Srinagarind hospital Khon kaen?

Just wondering if they're a decent hospital?

Do they charge more for farang? I hear some hospitals have foreigner prices

When paying do you still have to wait the same as someone with free medical? Missus went this morning and waited hours (Dont mean that to sound elitist)

I go there for my heart and bladder. I am treated rather well there.I spent 2 weeks in rehab part of the hospital cleaning my bladder. The total cost for room meds doctors tests,and med to take home came to under 18.000 baht. I paid that much in Petchebun at a private hospital for check up on a saturday with a Urologist and no meds.done in 3 hours. I go back every 3 months for check up on condition. Go in about 6:30 am and get out before lunch.Last time finished 10 am. Got 3 months meds last week the cost plus doctor plus hospital fees and blood test the whole amount was under 900 baht. I used to go to Bumrangrad but got terrible service there, the cost was not a problem,not to expensive.

Sounds really good. It's a massive hospital. Do you go to the main reception area and go to various specialist areas from there?

I have to admit i follow the wife around there only go where she takes me. Best to contact the hospital and let them tell you how to do it. You do wait in line for everything but it moves along well.

As far as paying goes you hand in your paper work at the payment wicket and they call you about 15 minutes later with the bill,after that you wait another 10 to 15 minutes for your take home meds. and go home.

If you use the regular facilities during regular hours the cost is the same for everyone.

They do have some evening clinics that cost a bit more, but again, the same for everyone.

You can arrange surgeries at a special clinic there that will cost you more. When I went about knee surgery, the doctor I talked with (not the one who would do the procedure) was more than happy to tell me that they charged foreigners twice what they would charge a Thai.

That was several years ago, so I don't know if that practice still exists.

It's a regional hospital (associated with KKU), and is generally recognized as a good hospital.

Since Thais only pay ฿30, I'd be happy to pay twice that, lol.
