What are some affordable hotel options near Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok for someone needing hip replacement surgery?
Sam ******
I believe you can short-term rent apartments at building next to Bumrungrad (Polen Chit Garden or something like that).

The Best Western is another option - but it may be a bit more pricey.
