To Retchapruek Hospital Management / Staff
I want to formally thank you for the exemplary care that you delivered to me during my hospital stay. From the beginning of the admission on January 20 until discharge, every interaction has been where my wife and I feel satisfied that we are truly being cared for with compassion.
We also feel we were being treated as a person, from the heart! As a nurse of more than 34 years, I know what it takes and when the hospital management or staff don't care! Unfortunately, many healthcare institutions are only a business, cold and calculated. You really stand out from the rest!
We are more than satisfied and would recommend anyone without hesitation.
We connected with some staff and hope our friendship continues... people like Gregory and Ting.
They were warm, compassionate, and helpful.
We also loved all the nursing staff. Great job!!!! Five stars to all!!
Also, I would like to thank my doctor personally Dr. Pichet for his good nature, attention to detail,
and his commitment to excellence! I can feel his care, and he really lives up to his name!
From myself and my wife,
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts !!!
We love you all,
Lamont and Jin L


Gregory S. 78y Surgery - Remove Kidney stones blocking the urethra
Surgery - Remove Kidney stones in the bladder
"Like many older men, I had a few aches and pains that I self-treated with Tylenol or tried to completely ignore, saying it would probably be gone tomorrow. Then, last year, I finally went to Ratchaphruek Hospital for a complete physical check-up, my first in 7 years.
Such a simple but thorough process with results the following day. The issues identified were alarming. Unlike my home country, where an appointment with a specialist may take weeks or months, the hospital had me booked for the following day.
Just 3 days later I was in surgery to remove a large stone in the bladder followed days later by a second surgery unblocking the urethra, which could cause serious kidney issues.
My deepest appreciation goes to Dr. Tosapol and the fantastic nursing team in Ward 12, with only 4 nights in the hospital and 10 days to normal activities. I have a new outlook on my health especially on the importance of early detection."

Definitely my hospital of choice.
Thank you x "

"I would like to take this opportunity to give a shout-out and a huge thank you to Rachaphruek Hospital in Khon Kaen, Thailand. From my checkup to my required procedure, I was treated very professionally with a hefty dose of personal care.
THE NEW INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM provided my wife and I with two personal advocates to eliminate any miscommunication or understanding a special thank you to Gregory and Ting for supporting us during my entire medical process.
An exceptional hospital for expats, with fair pricing."

Respiration issue
"I recently moved to Khon Kaen after living in Bangkok for 20 years, and I must say, my experience at this hospital was exceptionally welcoming. From the moment I walked in, the staff made an outstanding effort to communicate with me in English, which made me feel incredibly comfortable and well cared for. The dedication to ensuring that I could understand everything clearly was remarkable. I truly felt valued and respected throughout my visit. This hospital sets a high standard for patient care, and I am grateful for their attentive and inclusive approach."
Paul H 59y Intestinal Issue
"Just like to say it's been exceptional service and care we received at Ratchaphruek Hospital. The facility was very clean, and both the nurses and doctors were clear and thorough in their explanations. We felt genuinely cared for during our visit. Thank you to the entire team, especially Ting and Gregory Charles Sharpe for looking after us so well. Your professionalism and kindness truly stood out."
Stanley J.W. 77y Chronic Sinus Issue

“I have just had another operation and happy to say everybody from the doctor to cleaners were very helpful and cheerful.
However I did have a query re the account and luckily I had met the international crew Ting and Gregory at a previous appointment. Thought I would ring them to help with the query. They wasted no time in turning up and explaining things to me. They were very helpful and one regret is that they weren't available when I had my last operation a couple of years ago.”
John M.M. 81y Knee Replacement
Before my knee replacement surgery, I was thoroughly impressed with the admission process and the detailed consultation provided by Dr. Kamolsak. I felt completely informed and prepared for my surgery, which eased a lot of my apprehension. The nurses' professionalism further enhanced my experience, ensuring that both my wife and I felt fully supported throughout my stay. We were especially amazed by the dedication of the advocacy team, who visited just hours after my surgery and again the next day to ensure everything was progressing well. I was initially referred to this hospital by fellow expatriates online, and I'm pleased to say that their recommendation was spot on. I am incredibly grateful for the high standard of care and support received”
Scott P. 43y Urology
"The Hospital is clean and inviting. Each time I visit, the nurse rep, Ting, and sometimes Gregory, have always been there to introduce themselves and were always on hand if any issues arose. They even visited me in my hospital room, which makes it good.
All staff on Ward 12 were excellent. Although we sometimes had to use Google Translate, we all understood what was needed or what was happening.
For me, it is 100% the best hospital in the KK area and one of the best I have been to in Thailand.
Big thanks to Ting and Greg, all staff on ward 12 and my urology doctor who spoke perfect English and understood me and explained things I could appreciate…. 10/10"
