Hospitals in Chiang Mai for International Patients

Chiangmai Ram was the first hospital in northern Thailand to earn Joint Commission International accreditation. Part of the Ramkhamhaeng Group, it pairs around 350 inpatient beds with specialist heart, orthopaedic, neurology and cancer centres, a dedicated international patient department, and a city-centre location under ten minutes from the airport.

For anyone set on staying in the north rather than travelling to Bangkok for care, this is the option that avoids dropping down to a small clinic. It is the largest private hospital in the region and puts full-hospital backup behind you, overnight monitoring, on-site diagnostics, and emergency cover on hand the moment a case turns complicated, which a standalone facility cannot match.

Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai opened in 2014 as the 36th tertiary care hospital in the Bangkok Dusit Medical Services group, bringing the Bangkok Hospital brand to the north of Thailand. It is one of only two JCI-accredited private hospitals in Chiang Mai and has held that accreditation continuously since 2015. For international patients and expatriates in the region, it offers a private hospital with a full spread of specialist centres and English-speaking coordinators.

The clearest way to place this hospital is as the Bangkok Dusit Medical Services group's presence in the north, the closest thing Chiang Mai has to the Bangkok Hospital standard without travelling south. For international patients it works as a direct alternative to Chiangmai Ram, backed by a large national hospital network, four consecutive JCI accreditation cycles since 2015, and centres of excellence in cardiac, cancer, brain and orthopaedic care.
