Thonburi Rajyindee Hospital

Thonburi Rajyindee Hospital (โรงพยาบาลธนบุรี ราษฎร์ยินดี) is a private general hospital on Rajyindee Road (number 119) in Hat Yai, the main city of Songkhla province, southern Thailand. Patients and local sources also call it Rajyindee Hospital. The hospital describes itself as a family hospital that aims to care for every patient as it would for a relative, and its website lists departments in internal medicine, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, kidney care, neurology, cardiology, ear, nose and throat, spine care, laparoscopic surgery and diagnostic radiology, among others.

It is not a cosmetic surgery hospital. Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is a small part of what it offers: the doctor directory lists a plastic surgery department (แผนกศัลยกรรมตกแต่ง) staffed by three part-time doctors, and a wound care clinic that includes plastic surgeons.

The hospital's own website supports these facts:

• Type: private general hospital
• Address: 119 Rajyindee Road, Hat Yai District, Songkhla 90110
• Phone: 074-200200 and 074-200201
• Plastic surgery department: three part-time surgeons, each with one weekly session
• Wound care clinic: Saturday 09:00 to 12:00

Its site gives no opening year, bed count, accreditation, overseas patient desk or cosmetic procedure list, so none is stated here. To see a plastic surgeon, send a consultation request and our team will check the slot with the hospital.

The hospital's website does not publish a service menu for cosmetic surgery. What it does publish is the department listing and each surgeon's clinic hours. That tells you a plastic surgery outpatient service exists; it does not tell you which procedures the hospital performs or how often.

The hospital's clinics page also describes a wound care clinic, run by plastic surgeons, vascular surgeons, specialist wound-care nurses and a foot-orthotics specialist, for wounds and chronic ulcers. That is reconstructive rather than cosmetic care, but it shows the plastic surgery department's role in the hospital.

What this means for a cosmetic patient. A general hospital can be a sensible setting for surgery because it has an emergency service, an intensive care service and other specialists on site. The hospital's own pages do not confirm every such facility, so ask. When you enquire, name the exact procedure you are considering and ask whether the surgeon performs it here, in which theatre, and under what anaesthesia. If the answer is that your procedure is not offered, our team can suggest other options in Hat Yai and elsewhere.

Because the surgeons are part-time, availability is limited to the weekly sessions below. Plan consultations around those slots and ask how follow-up visits would work if you are travelling from abroad.

The hospital's doctor directory names three part-time doctors in the plastic surgery department. Qualifications below are as the hospital publishes them; we have not independently confirmed them.

Dr. Niti Tawaranurak (Thai name นพ.นิติ ถาวรานุรักษ์, licence ว.32572 as listed). Listed as a plastic surgeon. The hospital lists an MD from Prince of Songkla University, a general-surgery specialist certificate from that university and a plastic-surgery diploma awarded at Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University. Clinic hours: Saturday 13:00 to 16:00. See his profile.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Atthawit Mongkornwong (ผศ.นพ.อรรถวิท มังกรวงษ์; licence ว.42623 as listed). Described as a plastic surgeon focused on wound care. Qualifications listed: an MD from Prince of Songkla University, a surgery specialist certificate from that university and a Siriraj Hospital plastic-surgery diploma. Clinic hours: Saturday 09:00 to 12:00. See his profile.

Dr. Pimpika Korantimanon (พญ.พิมพิกา ขออันติมานนท์; licence ว.46851 as listed). Listed as a plastic surgeon. The hospital lists an MD from Prince of Songkla University and a specialist certificate (plastic and reconstructive surgery) obtained at Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University. Clinic hours: Thursday 17:00 to 19:00. See her profile.

The hospital describes all three as part-time. Bangkok Hospital Hat Yai also lists Dr. Niti. Before booking, search each name on the national doctor register and ask who performs your procedure.

No procedure is attached to this hospital on our site, because its pages do not list any. Rather than guess, we suggest patients bring a specific question.

• If you want a cosmetic operation such as rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty or liposuction, ask whether the named surgeon performs it at this hospital. A plastic surgery certificate shows general training; it does not prove experience with one operation.
• If you need reconstruction or wound care, the Saturday morning wound care clinic and Dr. Atthawit Mongkornwong's listed focus are the relevant starting points.
• If you are unsure what you need, start with a consultation and a clear written question, then compare the answer with other providers.

In general, patients commonly ask how many procedures of the same type a surgeon performs each year, what happens if a revision is needed and who will see them for follow-up after they fly home. These are general questions that apply to any provider and are not statements about this hospital.

The hospital's site names no accreditor, whether Thailand's HA scheme or the international JCI programme. A missing statement does not prove the hospital lacks one; it means we could not confirm it from the hospital's own site, so we do not claim it.

What you can do:

• Ask the hospital in writing whether it holds a current accreditation, which body issued it and when it expires.
• Check any answer with the accrediting body's own database.
• Ask for the licence details of your surgeon and verify them on the doctor register.
• Ask what facilities are available if you need overnight care after a procedure.

The hospital's site shows no overseas patient desk, interpreters, airport transfer or foreign-language pages, and the pages we read are in Thai. Non-Thai speakers should ask beforehand whether the surgeon consults in English and whether an interpreter can attend.

Hat Yai is the main city of southern Thailand and has an international airport (HDY) with flights from Bangkok and some regional connections. Many visitors from Malaysia and Singapore also reach it by road or rail. Because the plastic surgery doctors see patients on a single day each week, build your trip around their sessions and allow extra days for any follow-up visit before you travel home.

Find it at 119 Rajyindee Road in Hat Yai District (postcode 90110). The contact page lists the phone numbers 074-200200 and 074-200201 and social channels under the name Thonburi Rajyindee Hospital. Plastic surgery clinic days are Thursday evening (17:00 to 19:00) and Saturday (09:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 16:00), according to the doctor pages. Confirm hours before travelling, because part-time sessions can change.

Requests go through our platform, but the hospital has the final say: nothing is booked instantly and we collect no payment.

1. Send a request on our booking form, naming the procedure or problem and your preferred dates.
2. Our team replies to clarify details and asks the hospital whether the surgeon can see you in a weekly session.
3. You receive the confirmed slot and a reference number.
4. Follow progress on the status page with your reference and email.

Ask the hospital for a written quote that spells out the procedure, surgeon, anaesthesia and inclusions. Prices are not shown here because the hospital publishes none we can verify.

• Photographs of the area in question, taken in natural light from the front and each side.
• Your medical history: past operations, allergies, medicines, smoking and any history of blood clots or bleeding.
• Your question: a single sentence on what you hope to treat or change, so the surgeon can tell quickly if it fits their practice.
• Previous treatment records, especially for wounds, scars or revision surgery.
• Your travel dates, including the Thursday or Saturday sessions you could attend.
