Which hospital do you recommend?

I lean towards recommending Bumrungrad Hospital. Bumrungrad is the hospital I see recommended most often when I read about medical-tourism in Thailand. The American TV news program “60 Minutes” even did a segment on the quality of care they provide. Beyond the high quality of their medical care, though, which I’m sure they all provide, I’m also impressed by their reasonably low room rates. They offer the choice of a four bed room (2,530 baht per day), a two bed room (3,330 baht per day) a private room (6,005 baht per day), a bigger room, better view, micro wave oven and VCR (7,510 baht per day). Frankly, I’m not too proud to sleep in a four bed room, if I have to, in order to receive the quality of care Bumrungrad provides. The truth is, though, if I ever do have to go the hospital, I still plan to use my local hospital, Mongkutwattana (1,900 baht per day). But if I see the doctors and nurses whispering a lot around me and avoiding eye contact with me, I’ll be quickly in a taxi and on my way to Bumrungrad - if I can just learn to pronounce it.
