Suanprung Psychiatric Hospital is the third oldest Psychiatric hospital in Thailand. The hospital was first established on December 17, 1938 in the nearby Lampang province. In 1947, the hospital was moved to Chiang Mai Province and became one of the 21 Psychiatric Hospitals operated by Thailand’s Department of Mental Health. Today, Suanprung Hospital serves its community with nearly 60,000 outpatient visits annually and caring for up to 700 Psychiatric inpatients daily. Suanprung Hospital works hard to serve a large community that encompasses the majority of Northern Thailand. The region includes thirteen provinces with a population of nearly ten million people. Suanprung’s efforts go beyond acute care; the Huay Din Dum rehabilitation center located in the Hang Dong district reintegrates the chronically mentally ill to our community. With some 340,000 square meters, the innovative center prepares patients for returning to society by providing intensive vocational therapy.

Suanprung Psychiatric Hospital, which was established in 1947, is a 415-bed hospital under the supervision of the Department of Mental Health, Ministry of Public Health. It is located at 131 Changloe Road, Hai Ya Sub-district, Muang, Chiang Mai.
