Say “rong phayaban Krungthep Phitsanulok”, or name the junction, “ha yaek Khok Matum”. It is in the city centre, under a kilometre from the railway station.

The private hospital most travel insurers will recognise in this region, because it belongs to the Bangkok Hospital group. A 100-bed hospital at the Khok Matum five-way junction in the centre of Phitsanulok, with a 24-hour emergency department, round-the-clock CT and MRI, and the group’s national 1719 contact centre behind it. For anyone in Sukhothai with insurance and a serious problem, it is an hour’s drive and the obvious call.

What it is known for

Being the Bangkok Hospital name in the lower north. It is the thirty-first hospital in the BDMS group, which is what makes it familiar to insurers and assistance companies who have never heard of anything else in Phitsanulok. The hospital describes itself as a tertiary-level facility with a capacity of 100 beds, and its emergency department states that physicians, nurses and staff are available 24 hours a day, with CT and MRI scanning available around the clock. It also runs its own ambulance service from the same number as the emergency room.

Who it suits

Anyone with travel insurance who needs more than a village clinic can give, and anyone who wants to be dealt with in English without a long wait. It is the sensible destination if you are taken ill in Sukhothai and can travel the hour east, and it is where an insurer will most often want you sent. Note what it is not: a large hospital. At 100 beds it is a fraction the size of Buddhachinaraj across town, and a genuinely complex case may still end up being moved to Bangkok.

Cost and insurance

Private pricing, though a good deal gentler than the same group’s hospitals in Bangkok or Phuket. Cashless direct billing is available to insurers the group has a contract with; everyone else pays up front or leaves a deposit on admission, so ring your policy’s assistance line before you travel if the situation allows. Ask for a written estimate before any procedure, and keep every receipt and the discharge summary. The hospital does not publish an international accreditation, so do not assume one when your insurer asks.

Getting there

On Phra Ong Dam Road at the Khok Matum five-way junction, in the middle of Phitsanulok and under a kilometre from the railway station; the airport is about ten minutes further south. From Sukhothai allow an hour on Highway 12. In an emergency call the hospital’s own ambulance on +66 55 051 700 rather than driving yourself. Tell the driver “rong phayaban Krungthep Phitsanulok” or simply “ha yaek Khok Matum”, the junction it stands on, which every driver in the city uses as a landmark.
