thaibeachlovers Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 By that, I mean places like the Bangkok hospital Pattaya on Sukhumvit would be too expensive for me. Neither am I referring to the State hospitals, which are cheap, but I wouldn't stay in them if I could avoid it. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoedan Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 PIH is good on Soi 4 Beach Rd and not too pricey. I've used it several times for check-ups and medicals. Not been admitted there though (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I've been to Pattaya International Hospital numerous times over 6 years, including for treatment after a moderate motorcycle accident. Always felt I got good treatment or diagnoses. Wasn't too expensive either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lor Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Was admitted there once for 4 days. Treated well and not expensive. However I was also admitted to Banglamung Hospital for a few days. Not as good amenities but the care was good and a lot lot cheaper! Think it was about 4,000 for 3 days and all the meds and care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that PIH is a reasonable compromise, though I have never been admitted there and have only used it as an outpatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf99 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Pattaya City Hospital, Soi Bua Khao or Khow 500 baht to register. As good as any of the top hospitals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheungWan Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I think you will find that for all of the hospitals each one has both its fans and detractors. They all can get pricey if you stay overnight. It might be better if you asked for a recommendation for a particular treatment required and then contributors can comment on their own experience for that particular treatment and operation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Private hospital in Lamphun was 52,000 baht for 3 days. Only needed IV. Nothing flash at all. Luckily I had insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly not to be confused with the side streets right opposite the hospital which are mostly new build and part of the extensive new builds leading down towards the Avenue.

Missing Troll Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Pattaya memorial hospital is reasonable and good care, my grandson stayed there with pneumonia for a couple of years ago and he got really good care. You should get insurance so then you don't have to worry to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth taking out the annual VIP membership for the checkup included in the 1500b price IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThaiBob Posted September 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2016 There is well known farang doctor who practices here. He recommends BHP or Pattaya International exclusively. I use BHP but I have friends who are very happy with PIH and the slight cost savings. The nice thing about these hospitals is quick, friendly service from staff that can speak English. I have used Pattaya Memorial twice, years ago and I was not impressed. The government hospitals will save you money but I find them an aggravation and somewhat intimidating unless you have a Thai with you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got my membership card for Queen Sirikit there were what seemed like hundreds of people waiting to see a doctor, so I imagine you wouldn't need to be seeking urgent treatment. I had a gallbladder operation recently that was an emergency, so had to go to Pattaya/Bkk hospital. Cost me 200,000 baht for the op and 3 days stay, but the treatment and service were exemplary.

Cost me 200,000 baht for the op and 3 days stay, but the treatment and service were exemplary.I have not had to use it for an emegency, the problem for that is we are to far away to call an ambulance but they do have an emergency service just like all hospitals.When i go yes there is a lot waiting .if i have an 8am appointment we usually turn up about 7 it does take about 3 hours to get my appointment but the waiting room is clean air conditioned and there are plenty of places to sit and eat or drink also the cost for seeing my doctor( she is the doctor at the international hospital in Pattaya) costs 900 baht.when i originally saw a doctor in Pattaya it cost 5000 baht and i was told i needed an immediate 52k operation that was about 5 years ago. Still dont need the operation . So well worth the wait once every 6 monthsSent from my SM-A720F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
