Overview

Phaholpolphayuhasena Hospital is Kanchanaburi province's main government hospital, a large public facility on the bank of the Kwai Noi river in the city centre. Named after Field Marshal Phahonphonphayuhasena, it operates as a regional hospital under Thailand's Ministry of Public Health, reported at around 200 beds with roughly 100 doctors -- by far the largest hospital in the province. It runs a 24/7 emergency department and serves as the principal public referral centre for Kanchanaburi, with provincial public bed occupancy reported around 97%, a sign that demand for public beds is real and non-emergency waits can run longer than at a private facility. As the province's main public option, it offers substantially lower costs than Kanchanaburi's private hospitals such as Synphaet Hospital Kanchanaburi, at the trade-off of longer waits and more limited English-language support outside emergencies.
