Overview

Wattanapat Hospital Ao Nang is a newer branch of the long-established Wattanapat Hospital group -- a private hospital network with more than 56 years of history, headquartered in Trang province. In 2017, the group became the first private hospital operator in southern Thailand to list on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, and used the listing to fund expansion, including opening Wattanapat Hospital Ao Nang and developing a sister facility, Wattanapat Hospital Samui, as part of a wider push into southern Thailand's major tourist areas. Wattanapat Hospital Ao Nang sits directly in Ao Nang itself, giving residents and visitors based along the Ao Nang beach strip a full-service private hospital without a trip into Krabi Town. BAANLYY is not affiliated with Wattanapat Hospital Ao Nang and takes no paid placement in this guide; confirm all figures directly with the hospital.
