I refuse to go anywhere else. I will only enter the other hospitals to visit sick friends these days. So yes, I wouldn't hesitate.thecolonel wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 3:03 pmGood to hear BB!Big Boy wrote:Yes, considerably cheaper, and in most cases better equipped.

Are they a private hospital as well as a Government one, just cheaper than BKK HH and San Paulo?
I've used all 3 in Hua Hin (including operations), and there's only one proper hospital in my opinion.
So bottom line is if you get the dreaded lurghy you'll happily let HHH take care of you.
Any ideas on basic cost per night(excl specific treatments of course) of being an inpatient there? Are you familiar with any previous threads on this subject?
That's if one even needs to be hospitalised, for this. I'm feeling that not 'every' case of CV19 will require in patient treatment, some may be sent home to isolate and take meds??
My wife has been on a high dependency ward a couple of times in the last 12 months, and the doctors and nurses have been fantastic - I've done a couple of 24 hour bedside vigils, and there is absolutely nothing to fear. I know NHS gets a lot of flak, but I put Hua Hin Hospital well ahead of NHS. The exception being the food - I could not eat the food.
I have no idea about treatment costs as they vary from condition to condition. However, for myself treatment for a condition at Bangkok Hospital it cost me about £6,000, with dozens of follow up visits. The condition returned last year, and Hua Hin Hospital cured me in 2 visits for <2,000฿.
The Hua Hin Hospital prices I can tell you about is private rooms - they come in 3 flavours. 1,800฿, 2,000฿ and 2,800฿. Even the cheapest room is probably double the size of a Bangkok Hospital room. May not be as luxurious, but had everything we needed and was clean.
As for Covid, the word is they are not treating patients in the main hospital, but in a unit away from the hospital. I have my suspicions it could be on the 10th floor of the new car park, but that is only a suspicion. Since the outbreak began, 2 lifts have been locked on the 10th floor, but that is me putting 2 + 2 and probably making 17.
