Police General Hospital
โรงพยาบาลตำรวจ
The full-scale public hospital sitting improbably in the Ratchaprasong shopping core — the ER beside the Erawan Shrine.
The public hospital at Ratchaprasong — trauma care behind the Erawan shrine, and the forensic institute of newspaper fame. Central Bangkok's safety net.

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.
