1.)Easy to find the location it’s on the superhighway Chiangmai-Lampang near Makro.
2.) They really care to service you.
3.)The doctors can speak English pretty well.
4.)Inside of building it has many ATMs , the coffee shop the drug store.
5.) It’s clean place and nice looking.
6.) The price it’s same as other private hospitals in Chiangmai same range.
I think it’s a great choice for hospital.

The staff were kind, efficient, and professional. Many spoke either Mandarin or English at a native level. In the treatment room, a doctor, a nurse, and a translator were present to communicate every little step. Hospital is clean and fast.

I had a motorbike accident and first went to a public hospital for dressing wounds and stitches. I only paid 800 baht there but they used archaic items, were not thorough, which caused infections (albeit still amazing people).

It cost 3800 baht at Bangkok Hospital to redress the wounds in several places, using state of the art items that provided more comfort. I was in and out in an hour, led by someone at each step. The price is steeper than a public hospital but the smooth communication and the peace of mind from having gotten great treatment is well worth it.

Whilst it is a great modern hospital. Make sure to personally check with your insurance company. As the staff will assure you that your insurance will cover the cost and that they have checked after they made you wait, but when it comes to payment, this is far from the truth.

Very clean hospital. Good for tourists. Doctors speak English. If you have direct billing they can charge to your insurance. If you don’t it may get expensive.

X-Ray, doctor, IV, medicine, 2 hours there was about 4000 baht. $160 CAD in 2018. Pricing depends on what the specialist says, tests and time of day.

Nicest hospital I’ve been to. It’s private, so you’re paying for better care.

I have been using this hospital since 2018 with a mixed bag of results. Let me first say, if you are interested in a very comfortable, clean, and safe feeling hospital where you are seen quickly this is a wonderful place. Coming from New York where you can wait hours in a chaotic waiting room this place is wonderful.

I was hospitalized for 10 days with antibiotic-resistant salmonella. I was treated with great care, in a hotel style room, and I trusted the doctor with my life. I do not feel they would of kept me as long in the west, but I also like the thoroughness done here and know they wont send you home until you are right. This is something that is more common in Thailand even in government hospitals with my partners I have noticed they want you better before sending you home. It can be expensive, but knowing you are being helped and watched and they are not overwhelmed with patients is wonderful.

I have had minor surgery done due to an infection in my finger among many other small medical procedures and visits and all have been done to a quality care standard I expect.

Now onto the bad...

I was informed I had a mass in my colon that was a 50/50 chance of being cancer when they did a CT scan during my salmonella to rule out appendicitis. I ended up going to Sloane Kettering in NYC and their interpretation of the result was different. As I was informed.. The so called "mass" was an overreading of the CT scan. It happens, but it's still dangerous. And the implication I had a huge mass in my colon was psychologically devastating. Turns out, I didn't just not have a massive mass. I had no mass at all.

Secondly, I was told I had cataracts in my eyes by the vison department. This startled me as a man in my 20's but my local eye doctor in NYC who is very experience described it as "changes in the eye" and not quite what they would consider cataracts. She noted what the doctor saw, but she assured me that they were not of serious concern. In many ways, this may just be a mistranslation issue I do not think it had malintent.

All in all, I will continue to use this hospital, but I recommend McCormick for general sick visits due to better priced affordability. You can refuse medications they give you, get the names on a piece of paper (ask them, they will do it) and walk over to Dara Pharmacy across the street and get the medications for way cheaper. But if you want super fast, super pleasant treatment with a cherry ontop.. there is nothing better then Bangkok Hospital at 3AM during a panic attack. Believe me.

$600 USD per night for non-surgical 6 days of treatment for pancreatitis. Be aware of over-charging. Glucose infusion/ IV drip totaling 44K baht. The standard of care is good, but ask in advance to avoid buying one of the many BMW's in their parking lot.

The hospital looks modern and advanced. The staff was courteous and helpful. Wait time was not too long and the doctor was knowledgeable. Most importantly, the price for foreigners (consultation only) was affordable.
