How do I choose a hospital in Bangkok or Chiang Mai?

Asked 223 hours ago • Updated 204 hours ago
What should I consider when picking a hospital?

TL;DR:Choose a hospital by checking JCI/MOPH accreditation, relevant specialties and ICU/ER access, insurance/direct‑billing, English support, cost transparency and aftercare.

When picking a hospital in Thailand, prioritise clinical quality, safety, and practical access. Check accreditation (Joint Commission International for international standards and Thailand Ministry of Public Health Hospital Accreditation for local standards). Match the hospital’s recognised specialties and consultant experience to your condition, and confirm availability of 24/7 ER and ICU for emergencies. Verify diagnostic and surgical facilities, infection‑control track record, and outcome data where available. Confirm cost transparency, typical fees, whether the hospital accepts your international or Thai insurance and offers direct billing, and what pre‑approval is needed. Ensure there is an international patient office or liaison, English‑speaking staff or interpreters, and clear discharge/aftercare and rehabilitation plans. Consider location and ambulance/transfer time, on‑site pharmacy, and patient review patterns. For up‑to‑date lists and accreditation details see the Joint Commission International directory and Thailand Ministry of Public Health hospital accreditation pages.
