While ‘accreditation’ might be a big word for what the Bangkok Hospital Phuket has been doing, it looks like a move in the right direction.

The Bangkok Hospital Phuket has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with nine hotels in Phuket about working together in the field of medical tourism. This cooperation includes training for emergencies during the recovery period after the patients have left the hospital and checks to ensure that hotels provide the right facilities for medical tourists.

For anybody organizing a medical visit to Thailand it is sure helpful to get recommendations from a hospital about hotels that provide suitable accommodation, especially for those who do not use the services of a medical tourist agent. So, if you are considering treatment in Phuket and you need a place to stay, the list below might be of interest, even if you are not having your surgery at the Bangkok Hospital Phuket.

The nine hotels that have signed the MOU are: Mom Tri’s Boathouse, Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa, Holiday Inn Resort Phuket, The Merlin Beach Resort, Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort, Phuket Graceland Resort & Spa, Katathani Phuket Beach Resort, The Access Pool Resort & Spa and the Bundarika Wellness Resort.
