Part of the Bangkok Dusit Medical Services group, this is the hospital most insured visitors end up in: about 180 beds on Thongyai Road in the middle of Udon Thani, a 24-hour emergency and trauma centre with mobile-ICU ambulances, and a national network behind it for anything that has to move to Bangkok. It describes itself as a medical hub for the north-east and for patients arriving from Laos.
What it is known for
Being the BDMS hospital in the region, with what that implies: a 24-hour emergency and trauma centre staffed by emergency physicians and surgeons, mobile-ICU ambulances, and specialist cover across internal medicine, heart, orthopaedics, general surgery, women’s and children’s health and rehabilitation. The group behind it runs the largest private hospital network in Thailand, so a case that outgrows Udon Thani can be moved inside one organisation rather than negotiated between strangers. The hospital states that it aims to serve the upper north-east and patients travelling from Laos, and it lists Lao among the languages its doctors speak.
Who it suits
Anyone with travel insurance, anyone with a serious illness or injury, and anyone who wants to be treated in English without a long wait. It is also the sensible choice if you might need to be transferred to the capital, because the transfer stays inside the same group. Families use it for paediatrics and the city’s long-stay foreign residents use it for check-ups and surgery. For a minor complaint it is more hospital, and more money, than you need.
Cost and insurance
The most expensive hospital in Udon Thani, priced like a private hospital rather than a Thai public one, though below the group’s Bangkok flagships. Cashless direct billing exists only for insurers the hospital holds a contract with; everyone else pays up front or leaves a deposit on admission, so ring your insurer’s assistance line before you go if the situation allows. Ask for a written estimate before any procedure, and keep the itemised receipt and the discharge summary, because a claim needs both.
Getting there
On Thongyai Road in the middle of Udon Thani, a few minutes from Central Udon and UD Town and around fifteen minutes from Udon Thani International Airport. Grab and Bolt both cover the city, and the hospital sits on a main road with its own forecourt, so a car can pull up at the door. In an emergency call the trauma centre directly on +66 42 188 888, or 1719 from a Thai phone, rather than driving yourself across town.
Details checked against the hospital’s own website, September 2026. Call before a non-urgent visit; in an emergency call 1669 or the hospital’s own emergency line above. Travel information, not medical advice.
