Hospitals in Hua Hin: direct lines

For a serious medical problem you can call 1669 for a public ambulance, or call a hospital’s emergency line directly. Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin’s own head of emergency medicine advises calling either 1669 or the hospital’s emergency department. Hua Hin has two private hospitals with 24-hour emergency care, plus the public Hua Hin Hospital. See how they compare in our hospital comparison.

HospitalEmergency / main numberAddress
Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin (private)032-616-888 — Trauma & Emergency Center, 24 hours
032-616-800 — hospital call centre		888 Phetkasem Road
San Paolo Hospital Hua Hin (private)032-532-576 — hospital main line222 Phetkasem Road
Hua Hin Hospital (public)032-523-000 — hospital main number (not an emergency line)30/2 Phetkasem Road

For Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin the numbers come from the hospital itself. The public Hua Hin Hospital’s main number is the one Thai hospital directories consistently list. It is a switchboard, so in an emergency call 1669 first.

What to tell the dispatcher

  • Where you are: a landmark, the road name, or your address in Thai (see saving your address).
  • What happened, and the patient’s gender, age and symptoms.
  • How many people are hurt.
  • Your name and a phone number where the team can reach you.

Stay on the line and follow the instructions you are given. Do not move someone who may have a neck or spinal injury, and wait for the rescue team to collect them. Make sure your health insurance details are easy to find, since private hospitals will ask for them.

Thai words that help in an emergency

EnglishThaiSay it like
Help!ช่วยด้วยchuay duay
Ambulanceรถพยาบาลrot pha-ya-ban
Policeตำรวจtam-ruat
Hospitalโรงพยาบาลrong pha-ya-ban
Fireไฟไหม้fai mai

A few words go a long way when a call-taker or taxi driver does not speak English. For more, see learning basic Thai.

Prepare an emergency plan before you need it

A little preparation can save time when something goes wrong. Decide which hospital you would normally use and know the route. Save your full address, a map pin, building or village name and a nearby landmark on your phone; keeping the address in Thai script can make it easier to share your location with a dispatcher, taxi driver or Thai-speaking helper.

  • Keep your passport copy, insurance card and policy details somewhere easy to find.
  • If you take regular medication or have important allergies or medical conditions, keep a short current medical summary on your phone or in your wallet.
  • Make sure a spouse, friend, neighbour or other trusted contact knows where your emergency information is stored.
  • For urgent but non-life-threatening problems, contact the hospital or clinic you normally use and ask where they want you to attend. For a medical emergency, call 1669.

How to save and share these numbers

  • Add each number to your phone contacts with a clear name, for example “EMERGENCY – Ambulance 1669”.
  • Save the direct line of the hospital you would choose, and register there before you need it.
  • Keep a photo of your passport page, visa and insurance card on your phone.
  • Share the list with family, neighbours and your landlord or housing office.
  • Your whole household should know where the nearest hospital is and how to describe your address.
