Straycat Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 In Eastern Bangkok? Let's say from Soi Thong Lo and up. I'd like a *good* hospital but without the Bumrungrad hi-so patina. (I'm aware of that check-ups can be done at your local 'clinic' but I fear they don't have ultra-sound equipment etc). Any recommendation very much appreciated! Thanks.

dddave Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I know nothing about it, but Bangkok Hospital just up Sukhumvit near Eckami looks like a pretty decent facility. You can always go into a hospital and "interview" them, check out their facility and even have a brief chat with a Dr. in the department you would be using. It is on the Outbound side of Suk. close to the BTS. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I highly recommend Bangkok General Hospital. They brought me back from the dead a year ago (really!). A first class facility. They are located at New Petchburi Rd. & Thonglor. http://www.bangkokhospital.com Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Whoops.... If Bangkok Hosp. is on New Petchbury, then I must have the name of the hospital I mentioned wrong. I will check it out later today. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaimaisabai Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Hi dave, I think it's called Sukhumwit Hostpital - the one near Ekkamai station, that is. I too would recommend Bangkok General Hospital. This is where GF went when she became pregnant last year. The actual delivery was 34,000 baht. It is a very good set up (with ultrasound scans) without the atmosphere you describe of Bumrungrad. Khwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straycat Posted October 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Excellent, guys. Bangkok General Hospital it'll be then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbastard Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 SC, Just a warning, keep well away from Samitivej, the bastards scalped me for 120,000 Baht for the last delivery, ceaserean (SP?), but still it was a scalping. They said it was expensive because I didn't enrol for their special "deal" which incidently was advertised in Thai language posters only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Makes the Caesor we had done in Sakon Nakorn look cheapo at 3000 baht , 600 a day to stay in a private room, complete with a rooster outside the window! (Pre bird flu days) Mind you the doctor doing all the maternity check ups was great, prescribed lots of the right suppliments etc. Training in Australia (We where at Muang Tong Tani before delivery up cpuntry) DOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straycat Posted October 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hey, thanks for the heads-up! I was contemplating Samitvej as I've driven past there many times.... In any case, we went to Bangkok General. It was a very pleasant experience. Quick service at a reasonable price (for a farang at least). Obviously a good hospital but where you don't have the feel like a schmuck because you didn't valet park your "S-klasse". The doctor even gave me a disc with the ultra-sound images.

Fatbastard Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 With the first baby I would take Mum to Samitivej on my bike, and I would park it in car park (that was too small for any car so always free) anyway the usual uniformed pumped up Securutee man would wave NO NO, you have to park in the MC car park, of course this just what I wanted to hear, so would give it too them with both barrels. I pay the same money as a car, no car can use this park, so go fuck yerself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
