Overview

Pattaya Memorial Hospital opened in 1981 and is widely cited as the city's first private hospital, making it one of the longest-running private healthcare providers in Pattaya. It sits centrally on Central Pattaya Road, close to Central Festival Pattaya Beach, and operates across 18 departments covering general medicine, surgery, cardiology, orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics and round-the-clock emergency care. Unlike Bangkok Hospital Pattaya, it is not JCI-accredited and is not part of the BDMS network — it is positioned, and generally used by residents, as an accessible everyday and emergency-care option at gentler prices than the internationally marketed private hospitals. BAANLYY is not affiliated with Pattaya Memorial Hospital and takes no paid placement in this guide; confirm all figures directly with the hospital.

Specialties & departments

Pattaya Memorial Hospital lists 18 departments on its official site, including:

04

Expat & insurance services

Pattaya Memorial Hospital runs a dedicated Expat Care service line and publishes its site in English, Thai, Russian and Chinese. It lists direct-billing arrangements with major Thai and international insurers — AIA, Prudential, Viriyah, Allianz Ayudhya, Bangkok Insurance, Pacific Cross, AIG and AXA — which is useful for long-stay residents holding local or expat health policies. As a smaller, non-JCI hospital it does not run the large-scale international-patient coordination desks that Bangkok Hospital Pattaya offers; confirm English-language availability for your specific department when booking.

05

Location & transport

The hospital sits on Central Pattaya Road in Nong Prue, close to Central Festival Pattaya Beach — one of the most walkable, central parts of the city. Pattaya has no BTS, MRT or urban rail, so most patients arrive by Grab/Bolt ride-hailing, motorbike taxi, or the blue songthaews (shared "baht bus" trucks) that loop Beach Road and Second Road. The hospital is roughly 45 minutes from U-Tapao International Airport (UTP) and about 2 hours from Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) in Bangkok.

Nearest expat-heavy neighbourhood: Central Pattaya. See the area's full guide for transport, schools and condo pricing.
