Child Sick in Nakhon Pathom? Public and Private Hospitals That Treat Kids
Hospitals in Nakhon Pathom that treat children, public and private, with locations, the children's services each hospital publishes, phone numbers where a source confirms them, and a checklist for when to go straight to the ER.

So we gathered the hospitals in Nakhon Pathom that treat children into one page, public and private, with locations and services as stated by the hospitals themselves or other reliable sources. This page does not rank the quality of medical care. It is just information to help you pick the place that is close and fits your child’s coverage. Save it before the day you need it.
Go straight to the emergency room if…
Quick Answer: For any of the following, do not wait for a clinic. Go to the nearest emergency room or call 1669 straight away.
- Fast breathing, struggling to breathe, blue colour, or the skin pulling in between the ribs
- Very drowsy, hard to wake, or having a seizure
- A baby under 3 months with a fever of 38°C or higher (read more in Fever in babies under 3 months)
- Vomiting or diarrhoea so bad there has been no pee for more than 6 to 8 hours
- A rash of blood spots that does not fade when pressed
- An accident, a hard knock to the head, or swallowing something they should not
Public vs private hospitals for children: what is the difference?
Quick Answer: Public hospitals accept Universal Coverage or Social Security according to your registered unit, cost less but usually mean longer waits. Private hospitals have shorter waits, but you pay yourself or use insurance.
- Public hospitals on this list: Nakhon Pathom Hospital, Golden Jubilee Medical Center and Metta Pracharak (Wat Rai Khing) Hospital
- Private hospitals: Bangkok Hospital Sanamchan, Synphaet Hospital Nakhon Pathom, Bangkok Christian Nakhon Pathom Hospital and Thepakorn Hospital
- If your child has Universal Coverage, check which unit they are registered with first, so you do not end up paying when you do not need to.

Where can my child get vaccines in Nakhon Pathom?
Quick Answer: Routine vaccines are free under your child’s coverage at sub-district health promoting hospitals, community hospitals or public hospitals. Optional vaccines are available at both public and private hospitals and cost extra.
See the first-year schedule in Baby’s first-year vaccine schedule and bring the pink handbook every time. If you choose a private hospital, ask for the total including doctor’s and service fees, because package prices on websites often do not include everything.
What to keep in your bag
Quick Answer: A parent’s ID card, the birth certificate, the pink handbook, drug allergy history, your child’s current medicines and their insurance card if they have one.
Take photos of all the documents and keep them on your phone too. On the day you rush out at night, at least you will have the information with you.
Check before you go
Quick Answer: Clinic times, doctor schedules and package prices change. Always call the hospital first, except in an emergency, when you should just go.
