Lerdsin Hospital
โรงพยาบาลเลิดสิน
The 500-bed public teaching hospital on Silom renowned for orthopedics — the public counterweight to the private towers around it.
The public trauma-and-orthopedics specialist on Silom — government prices, serious surgeons, central address. The pragmatic choice for broken bones.

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.
Check departments, doctor schedules and which insurers are billed directly when you arrive — we have no verified official site for this one.
