Our clinic was founded in 1966. Sukhumvit Veterinarians is the oldest small animal veterinary practice in Bangkok.
Sukhumvit Veterinarians
Dr. Somkid founded the hospital and at that time, it was also called the Sukhumvit Veterinarians operating as a hospital for small animals. It was a full service hospital offering house call, pet taxi service, all grooming and pet needs. Dr. Somkid, Dr. Nareewan and Dr.Kanita operated the practice until 1977, at which time Dr.Nareewan and Dr. Nachayan Yimsamroay took over the practice. They have owned and operated the hospital since 1977. The hospital then moved across the street to locate on main Sukhumvit road between Sukhumvit soi 53 and 55 which has been in this same location until September 2011 when they moved to a new facility 80 meters from the old building. Along with renovations and more usable space the staff has continued to grow into a hard working and dedicated group of individuals. Sukhumvit Veterinarians Clinic quickly became a well known hospital. We are proud of the high standards of care our hospital has provided to our clients thus far and are committed to many more years of outstanding service.
Our new location is 10 Soi Chong Lom (Sukhumvit 51), Khlongtan-nua, Wathana, Bangkok 10110
