Hatyai Hospital is a regional government hospital operated by Thailand's Ministry of Public Health, founded in 1957 and located in central Hat Yai. With a nominal capacity of 640 beds, it is one of two main MOPH hospitals in Songkhla province — the other being Songkhla Hospital — and serves as the principal referral centre for community hospitals across Songkhla and parts of neighbouring Pattani and Satun provinces. As with most regional MOPH facilities, it routinely runs over capacity. It offers dramatically lower costs than Hat Yai's private hospital, at the trade-off of longer waits and more limited English-language support. BAANLYY is not affiliated with Hatyai Hospital and takes no paid placement in this guide; confirm all figures directly with the hospital.
As a Thai public hospital, Hatyai Hospital is oriented primarily toward the general Thai population rather than international patients, with more limited English-language support than Bangkok Hospital Hat Yai — expect a public-hospital experience (longer waits, much lower cost) and confirm current services directly with the hospital.
The hospital sits on Ratkarani Road in central Hat Yai. Hat Yai has no rail transit within the city; most patients arrive by car, motorbike taxi, songthaew or Grab.
