Bandon International Hospital, in Bophut on Koh Samui's north coast, holds the distinction of being the island's first private hospital, in continuous operation since 1987 -- nearly four decades of serving residents, long-stayers and visitors before most of Samui's other private hospitals existed. It runs on a smaller scale than the island's newer BDMS-network facility, with a capacity generally cited at around 25 to 30 inpatient beds, but offers 24-hour emergency care and departments spanning cardiology, neurology, general surgery and gynecology. BAANLYY is not affiliated with Bandon International Hospital and takes no paid placement in this guide; confirm all figures directly with the hospital.
As one of Samui's longest-running private hospitals, Bandon International Hospital has decades of experience treating the island's expat, long-stay and tourist populations alongside Thai residents. Confirm current English-language support, insurance billing arrangements and available specialists directly with the hospital before a planned procedure.
The hospital sits on the Samui Ring Road in Bophut, on the island's north coast near Fisherman's Village and within reach of Maenam and Bang Rak. Koh Samui has no rail or mass-transit system; most patients arrive by taxi, Grab, rented car or motorbike.
BAANLYY's Koh Samui healthcare guide refers to this hospital informally as "Thai International Hospital (Bandon)" because of overlapping naming used locally; its verified official/trading name is Bandon International Hospital, and this page uses that name throughout.
It is Koh Samui's first private hospital, opened in 1987 in Bophut -- making it one of the island's longest-serving medical facilities, with more than three decades of continuous operation.
Sources cite a capacity of roughly 25 to 30 inpatient beds -- a mid-sized facility by island standards, smaller than Bangkok Hospital Samui but long established with the local and expat community.
No confirmed JCI accreditation was found for this hospital as of this writing; it is best understood as a solid, long-established mid-tier private option rather than an internationally accredited flagship facility. Confirm current accreditation status directly with the hospital.
