Overview

Bangkok Hospital Siriroj is Phuket's oldest private hospital, founded in 1982 by Dr Anuroj Tharasiriroj, a Phuket native educated in the United States. For decades it was known to expats and locals alike as Phuket International Hospital (in Thai, Siriroj Hospital). It joined the Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS) network in 2014 and later rebranded to its current name, Bangkok Hospital Siriroj — the rebrand kept the same management, clinical staff, location and pricing philosophy the hospital had already built its reputation on. It is a 196-bed, JCI-accredited hospital offering 30-plus specialties. BAANLYY is not affiliated with the hospital and takes no paid placement in this guide; confirm all figures directly with the hospital before relying on them.

Location & getting there

The hospital sits on the Chalermprakiat Ror 9 (Bypass) Road in Mueang Phuket district, just outside Phuket Town proper, between Central Festival shopping mall, Big C and Tesco Lotus — a well-known landmark cluster for orientation. Phuket has no rail transit, so residents and visitors reach the hospital by car, taxi, motorbike or ride-hailing app. It sits close to Bangkok Hospital Phuket, making Phuket Town a common base for residents who want proximity to multiple hospital options.
