Bangkok Pattaya Hospital is providing a special Health Family Summer
2008 package for residents and tourists until the end of April.

Bangkok Hospital administrators announce the summer health package.
The initiative was launched on March 31 in the lobby of Building B at Bangkok
Pattaya Hospital, with Dr Kritawit Lertutsahakul, head of administration for the
Bangkok Hospital Eastern Group presiding.
Dr Kritawit said the scheme was launched with the long Songkran holiday in mind.
This is a time when many people are on the move, visiting their families, and
health checks and medical treatment are particularly important during this
period.
There are three separate programs available, and there is a buy-one-get-one free
option. The packages start at 599 baht. Purchasing is easy, with vouchers for
sale at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, the Royal Garden Plaza, Central Festival, and
at the Carrefour Central Pattaya Branch. For more information please call 1719.
