There are no public medical facilities or physicians at U.S. Embassy Bangkok or Consulate General Chiang Mai.
Americans in need of medical assistance in Thailand must utilize local Thai hospitals and clinics. Most healthcare services in Thailand are first world, and many doctors have received training in the United States or other Western countries. Many private hospitals have foreign language interpreters. Most public and private hospitals have medical centers with doctors practicing a wide variety of specialties. Hospitals outside of the capital may not be able to offer a wide range of English services.
