Hospital

Pattaya Memorial Hospital

Pattaya Memorial Hospital is one of the city's most central general hospitals, sitting right on Central Pattaya Road (Pattaya Klang) in Nong Prue — the busy east–west road that links Beach Road to Sukhumvit, walkable or a short ride from most central hotels and the Soi Buakhao area. According to the hospital, it was founded in 1981 as Pattaya's first private hospital, and that long track record is a big part of its appeal to the resident expat community. It is a mid-sized general hospital: the hospital lists around 80 inpatient beds, a 24-hour emergency department, an intensive care unit, operating theatres, and outpatient departments spanning internal medicine, general surgery, orthopaedics, cardiology, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, ENT, ophthalmology, dermatology, urology and dental care, backed by radiology, laboratory, pharmacy and physiotherapy. It positions itself as a value option — private-hospital speed, comfort and English-language help at prices it describes as reasonable — and it is used to international patients, offering language support and help with documentation such as medical certificates for visa extensions. As with all private care in Thailand, it costs more than a government hospital, and for the most serious or complex cases some residents still prefer the larger, JCI-accredited Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. But for central, everyday care and straightforward emergencies, Pattaya Memorial is a practical, long-trusted choice. Travel insurance is strongly advised for any visitor.

About

Pattaya Memorial Hospital is the central general hospital many long-term residents mention first, largely because it has simply been here the longest — the hospital says it opened in 1981 as Pattaya’s first private hospital. It stands on Central Pattaya Road (Pattaya Klang), the busy road that runs inland from Beach Road past Second Road and Soi Buakhao toward Sukhumvit, which makes it one of the more convenient hospitals to reach from the tourist core.

It is a mid-sized general hospital rather than a flagship medical-tourism centre, and it leans into that: private-hospital comfort and English-language help at prices it describes as reasonable. For a lot of everyday medicine — the fevers, infections, minor injuries and check-ups of ordinary life and travel — that combination of central location, long experience and fair pricing is exactly what people want.

What it’s good for

  • Central, round-the-clock care: the hospital lists a 24-hour emergency department and intensive care unit, close to central hotels and Soi Buakhao.
  • Everyday and family medicine: outpatient clinics spanning internal medicine, surgery, orthopaedics, cardiology, obstetrics, paediatrics, ENT, eyes, skin and dental care, per the hospital’s own listing.
  • Long-stay and visa admin: help for international patients including language support and medical certificates used for visa extensions.

Details

  • Address: 328/1 Moo 9, Central Pattaya Road (Pattaya Klang), Nong Prue, Bang Lamung
  • Hours: Emergency 24 hours; outpatient clinics roughly 08:00–20:00 daily (varies by department)
  • Facilities (per the hospital): ~80 beds, intensive care unit, operating theatres, radiology, laboratory, pharmacy, dental and physiotherapy
  • Founded: 1981 — described by the hospital as Pattaya’s first private hospital

Good to know

Arrange travel insurance before you travel — even at a value-focused private hospital, bills add up and uninsured patients are usually asked to pay on the day or leave a deposit. Keep your policy number, your insurer’s emergency line and your passport to hand. For the most serious or complex emergencies — major trauma, complex cardiac or neurosurgical cases — some residents prefer the larger, JCI-accredited Bangkok Hospital Pattaya at the Naklua end of the city. For central, everyday care and straightforward emergencies, Pattaya Memorial is a practical, long-established option. Confirm any specific treatment, specialist or price directly with the hospital.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Pattaya Memorial Hospital?

It is at 328/1 Moo 9 on Central Pattaya Road (Pattaya Klang) in Nong Prue — the main road connecting Beach Road with Second Road, Soi Buakhao and Sukhumvit. That makes it one of the easiest hospitals to reach from central Pattaya hotels, by foot, baht bus or Grab.

Is Pattaya Memorial Hospital open 24 hours?

Yes — the hospital states it runs a 24-hour emergency department alongside its outpatient clinics, which keep daytime-into-evening hours that vary by department. In a life-threatening emergency you can also call Thailand's emergency number 1669 for an ambulance.

Does it treat international patients and speak English?

Yes. The hospital says it welcomes international patients with multilingual staff and language support, and helps with documentation such as medical certificates used for visa extensions. Bring your passport and, if you have it, your insurance details.

How does it compare to Bangkok Hospital Pattaya?

Pattaya Memorial is older — it says it was Pattaya's first private hospital, opened in 1981 — more central and pitched as better value for everyday care. Bangkok Hospital Pattaya, at the Naklua end, is a larger JCI-accredited tertiary hospital better equipped for the most serious or complex cases. Many residents use Memorial for routine care and reserve the bigger hospital for major emergencies.

Is it expensive, and can I pay by card?

As a private hospital it charges more than Thailand's government hospitals, but it markets itself on reasonable pricing and is generally cheaper than the city's largest private hospital. Cards are accepted; uninsured patients should expect to pay on the day or leave a deposit, so travel insurance is strongly recommended.

Do I need an appointment?

Not for the emergency department — just go. For outpatient and specialist clinics it is best to book by phone, though walk-ins are usually possible and may involve a wait for popular specialists.

Pattaya International Hospital

Pattaya International Hospital is a long-established private hospital in the heart of the tourist strip, tucked into Soi 4 (Soi Pattaya 4) between Beach Road and Second Road — a five-minute walk from the central Beach Road hotels. That central position is its biggest draw: when a stomach bug, a scooter graze, an infection or a fever strikes in the middle of a holiday, it is the closest full hospital for most visitors staying in central Pattaya. According to the hospital's own information, it runs a 24-hour emergency department with its own ambulance fleet, an intensive care unit and around 80 inpatient beds, two fully equipped operating theatres, and outpatient clinics across the usual specialties — internal medicine, general surgery, orthopaedics, ENT, obstetrics, dermatology and cosmetic treatment, plus x-ray, laboratory, pharmacy and a dental clinic. It is popular with expats and tourists partly because many staff speak good English and partly because, as a mid-sized private hospital, its bills tend to sit below the city's largest tertiary hospital while still being well above Thailand's government hospitals. For a genuinely major or complex emergency — a serious cardiac event, major trauma, neurosurgery — many residents still head for the larger Bangkok Hospital Pattaya; for everyday holiday medicine in the centre of town, Pattaya International is convenient, quick and used to foreign patients. As with any private care in Thailand, travel insurance is strongly advised.
