How many English-speaking doctors are there in Thailand?

We list 45, in 4 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.

Is English unusual for doctors in Thailand?

79% of the 57 doctors we hold in Thailand are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.

This page lists every city in Thailand where a source says an English-speaking doctor works. If you know a provider that belongs here, tell us and include where the language is stated.

Where these came from

These English-speaking doctors come from 10 sources, led by the UK Foreign Office's travel advice (30), a German diplomatic mission (7) and samitivejhospitals.com (1).

38 of the 45 sit on an official list; the rest rest on the provider saying so or on a directory listing, which is a weaker claim and is labelled on each card.
