Samitivej International Children's Hospital
Specialist hospital · Suan Luang
Thailand's only private hospital built entirely for children, opened in March 2025 on the Samitivej Srinakarin campus. Eight floors and 111 beds, with private PICU and NICU rooms, a hybrid operating theatre for minimally invasive surgery, and separate air handling for infectious and non-infectious zones. The paediatric emergency department runs 24 hours with its own paediatricians rather than adult emergency doctors covering children, and there is a paediatric ground and air transport service. For a seriously ill child this is the most capable private facility in the city.
Worth knowing
The location is the catch and it is a real one. From most of the international school corridor this is a long drive, and in the wrong traffic it is a very long drive, which is worth thinking through now rather than in an emergency. The trade is simple: Sukhumvit for convenience and routine care, Srinakarin when it is serious. Families in Bang Na, On Nut and the eastern suburbs get the best of it.
