Overbrook Hospital was founded in 1903 under the Foundation of the Church of Christ in Thailand, making it one of the oldest continuously operating hospitals in northern Thailand -- more than 120 years serving Chiang Rai. It later became the first healthcare institution in the province to achieve Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, the leading global quality-assurance standard for hospitals. Locals long distinguished it from the public Chiangrai Prachanukroh Hospital nearby by the nickname 'Hong Ya Farang' ('foreigner hospital'), reflecting its mission-hospital origins serving all patients regardless of nationality or religion. BAANLYY is not affiliated with Overbrook Hospital and takes no paid placement in this guide; confirm all figures directly with the hospital.
Overbrook operates as a general private hospital covering medicine, surgery, maternity and outpatient care, with some English-speaking staff -- a common first stop for expats who want private-hospital comfort without travelling to Chiang Mai. Where BAANLYY could not independently verify a detailed department-by-department breakdown from the hospital's own materials, we have not invented one -- confirm specific specialties directly with the hospital.
Overbrook sits in Wiang subdistrict in the city centre, close to the public Chiangrai Prachanukroh Hospital. For a broader private option with a larger bed count, see Kasemrad Sriburin Hospital. See the Chiang Rai healthcare guide for full cost comparisons and insurance guidance.

No. They are two separate hospitals near each other in the city centre. Locals historically nicknamed Overbrook 'Hong Ya Farang' ('foreigner hospital') and the public Chiangrai Prachanukroh Hospital 'Hong Ya Thai' ('Thai hospital') to distinguish the private mission hospital from the government one.
