Is it mandatory to have someone stay with you overnight in a Thai hospital, especially if you don't know anyone?

I was in a international private hospital in Ao Nang Krabi and I had to have someone with me the whole time I had to stay in the ICU until someone came and than I was moved to a private room and that person had to stay with me until I was discharged.

That's absolutely not true at all.

You need "something" at night not someone...😂😂

I have been hospitalized numerous times at CM Ram....and NEVER EVER was I told that I needed to have someone stay with me.....where are you getting your information from ...Fakebook?🇺🇦

My wife's stays when I'm in hospital and I stay when she has been it's not required but in most private hospitals it's allowed and catered for with a lounge in the rooms

Why are you asking this??? If you are that afraid of covid don't go in first place man. 🙈🙈

A bit of experience paying for hospital stay for staff or their kids.

A family member MAY stay , not required ! Culturally a family member or 2 usually stays with patient.

2 were government hospitals.

No, not true, except maybe in a very local hospital? I've had surgery alone in an international hospital, no issue whatsoever. I was in a private room.

I stayed in hospital and I was never required to have someone stay with me!

Who told you this nonsense?

In state hospital you do

I stayed alone in hospital alone on Ko Phangan, I've never heard this idea before...

Call your favorite bar, ask for your favorite girl. Pay for long time and grab.....problem over.

I stayed alone twice . This is a rumor

My sister had to stay with me for 6 days while I was in wattarapat hospital in Ao Nang ...

A friend who was in and out of the hospital had to have someone stay with him because of his condition but it wasn’t a requirement by the hospital. He paid people that do that kind of thing 1000 baht a day/night.

They all speak English I my experience.

I stayed in a hospital alone for several nights - nobody suggested that was an issue and the room only had my bed and a tiny sofa so I doubt anyone could've joined anyway.

This is false. Many hospitals now, because of covid, won't even let family visit them in the hospital. My wife just had surgery last month, and even fully vaccinated I couldn't visit.

maybe in some public hospitals, definitely not in private hospitals

Really?

Is the nurse young or old?

I have stayed in Samitivej hospital twice after ops. Both times on my own. Private room with folding bed if I’d wanted someone to stay over.

You do not HAVE to have someone stay with you. I've been in a few times on my own as an adult.

Bangkok hospital has a VIP ward..usually take care of foreigners there..staff there are fluent in several languages including English

I stayed overnight in Bangkok Hospital Bangkok and my wife stayed too, although I didn’t think it was compulsory? Private room was THB, that was midrange but was nice.

You don't need anyone to stay with you if you can still communicate under your own power

This is only for goverment hospital.

In a privat hospiral you will have everything you need.

This situation of having somebody else being in the room only applies to single patient rooms. If there are more patients, then this does not apply.

A nurse is paid by the hour, expect in a government hospital to pay something like 50 or more Baht/hour.

The reason for this is, that a) people have been doing silly things, when left alone and b) they might need help, which requires somebody to at least call for help.

Banglamung hospital is not recommendable. Try Sri Racha, or university hospital in Chonburi, but be aware that Covid has restricted many hospitals in taking in "other" patients.

Good luck.

I had to stay with my son but he was a minor

No one stayed with me when I got kept in

I know banglamung hospital expect someone to stay with you if you’re in a private room, if there is nobody to stay with you then you have to be put in the public ward. At least that is the experience I had when a friend was there a few years ago.

I've stayed alone at a private hospital.

I believe if you are in intensive care and get released to a regular room that may be true but that is to avoid them having a nurse stay with you and having to pay.

Otherwise you don’t need.

Stayed at Maharaj (public hospital) for three days, def did not need someone with me (they wouldn't even allow visitors...) Have had multiple friends stay at hospitals here for up to a week, they've never required accompaniment.

If you go to state hospital, maybe required

Not necessary for a private hospital on thailand

100% do not need someone to stay with you

Not a requirement but many Thai's will have a family member that wants to stay with them.

You don't need anyone to stay with you...🤷‍♀️

My husband stayed alone at Ram.

First ive heard of that
