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.

The hospital is around 800 metres from Rama 9 MRT, putting it within easy reach of the Asoke / Ratchada / Phrom Phong expat belt.

Tips for Foreign Patients

Take the MRT to Rama 9 (exit 1) — it's a 10-minute walk or a 60-baht motorcycle taxi to the hospital.
Self-pay prices are usually 20-30% below Bumrungrad for the same procedure — ask for a written quote up front.
The international desk is on the ground floor near the main entrance; bring your passport on every visit.
Outpatient appointments can run late on weekday evenings; mornings are quicker.
