Chonburi Hospital is the main hospital of Chonburi Province and is classified by the Ministry of Public Health as a regional hospital -- the senior public referral hospital for the province, distinct from Pattaya's own district and municipal hospitals. It was first established in 1919, and in 1940 plans began to relocate it to its present site next to Sukhumvit Road in Ban Suan after regular flooding damaged the original buildings; construction finished in 1948 and the hospital officially reopened there on 18 November of that year under Ministry of Public Health management. Today it also hosts a CPIRD Medical Education Center, training doctors for Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Medicine -- reflecting its role as a teaching hospital as well as a provincial referral centre. Chonburi city sits north of Pattaya along the same coastal corridor, making this hospital a relevant option for residents of northern Chonburi province weighing public-hospital care alongside Pattaya's own facilities.
