Hua Chiew Hospital
โรงพยาบาลหัวเฉียว
The Poh Teck Tung foundation's social-enterprise hospital — and Thailand's flagship traditional-Chinese-medicine clinic, in Chinatown where it belongs.
The Chinese-foundation hospital on Yaowarat's edge — charity roots, Mandarin-friendly, and mid-century Bangkok's communal medicine still working.

If you need care
- Emergency number in Thailand is 1669, free from any phone.
- Bangkok's international hospitals run 24-hour emergency departments with English-speaking staff and interpreter desks for other languages.
- Bring your passport and insurance details; direct billing with major international insurers is common but has to be arranged at admission.
- Walk-in outpatient care is normal here — an appointment is usually not required.
