Is Piyavate good enough for serious surgery?

Yes for most general surgery, orthopaedics, gastroenterology and fertility cases. For very complex cardiac surgery, transplants or proton-level oncology, Bangkok Hospital or Bumrungrad remain the stronger choice.

Do they take international health insurance?

Yes — Piyavate direct-bills most major international insurers including Cigna, Allianz, AIA, BUPA and Aetna. Confirm with their international desk before admission.

How does pricing compare to Bumrungrad?

Piyavate typically charges 20-40% less than Bumrungrad for equivalent treatment while still offering English service. It is one of the better value-for-money private hospitals in central Bangkok.
