Patong Hospital

Super clean, the staff are very kind and very efficient. Everything is clearly labelled in Thai and English, often also in Chinese and Russian.
I find the prices really cheap.

If you don't have an appointment, you get a number on your form when you take your vitals (automatic blood pressure/ heart rate/etc test machine) and register. The nurses will call you by number and name. They will make sure to call in a way you understand if you aren't Thai, so don't worry about language barriers.

The doctors and nurses speak perfectly understandable English. The doctor even filled out my care recommendation in English.

In the winter, a kind man from Switzerland is at the information desk to help you find your way around.

Do note that the nurses have a lunch break ending at about 13:00, with the doctors' break ending at about 13:30, so for non- emergency cases I recommend you come in the morning.

There is a very cute garden smoking area with some animals and a stone table with a chess board on it. If you stand facing the blue atm (pictured) and look to the right you'll see it just next to the ramp.

I hope I don't get injured again (I walked into a low concrete structure lol), but if I do I'll feel safe and happy coming here!

Lastly, please consider putting whatever you can in the donation boxes in the two large halls on either side of the hospital this is a state hospital with not much funding and they are doing an amazing job!

Absolutely joke. Want to give negative star only if I can and I almost alway only give only good review.

We trying to get the ATK COVID test for going to bangkok. I called them at 9:30 to ask if you have this service available. They told me that they only accepted 15 people per day, do not accept appointments and will only do the test until 11 am. We arrive at 9:45. I told the blood pressure test and measure my weight. They then notify me that they won’t start the test until 10:30.

So 1.5 hours wait outside in the heat. No shop to sell water. No vending machine. Be prepared and bring your own water. And at 11:05 we decided to ask them what going on.

They said that the doctor will need to take care of all the walk-in patients first before start doing ATK. Why would you need doctor to do the ATK anyway? Anywhere else in the world nurse can do the ATK.

After the test you have to come back at 1 pm to collect the result. I wonder if they know how to use email or Text. What a typical Thai government hospital. If you have money just go for the private one unless you want to waste the whole day.

The toilet here is old fashion. No toilet seat and no toilet paper

Useless hospital. None of the employees including doctors and nurses understand English here. The emergency is a joke here, they just let the patient lie down without attending. The admission process is dead slow. The hospital should be sued for not being able to understand English being a tourist nation

Good hospital, the only problem i had is that when get a number at reception is not clear what to do next. This number is not displayed anywhere so you just have to wait with no idea how long it can take. One time is was 10 min, another time 2 hours.

Walk into Patong Hospital as my wife was very sick. Staff was too busy on personal phones to help us. We went to Bangkok Hospital and are being helped professionally. Patong Hospital needs a shake up

Pathetic experience! These guys are super slow, it took 3 hours just to get an x ray done, 45 min just to take medicine from the pharmacy
