Bumrungrad Hospital in pictures

It feels like we’ve been making a tour of hospitals this year. Six months ago we spent a lot of time in St Luke’s Hospital in Manila (also considered a 5-star medical tourism hospital). I had the baby there while Keith had a series of cardiac checkups and screenings. We all had dental work done there too. Now, Keith was evacuated to Bangkok’s Bumrungrad because of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. What a year. Well.. here is Bumrungrad in pictures. Compared to hospitals back home in NYC this looks like a nice hotel.

Lobby area of the old building, where the patient rooms are.

Reception area in the new building, where outpatient services for package checkups start.

Reception area of outpatient services, for package consultations. This is the 10th floor of the new building. There is a Starbucks, a cafeteria and a Bookazine with an awesome selection of kids’ books.

The pediatric lounge, complete with a play gym. This waiting area is absolutely spacious.

The 10th floor of the old building where Keith’s private room is. They have these cars for kids stationed all around the hospital departments.

Keith’s hotel room -err, his hospital room. The movies, sitcoms and music are fairly recent. There’s also a built-in internet for people who didn’t bring their gadgets.

The couch was large, more than comfortable for an adult staying with the patient, given that it *is* a hospital room. You can also request a cot, which was 200baht/night. This was all convenient for me and the two kids.
