Bangkok Metropolitan Administration General Hospital, popularly known as Klang Hospital (Template:Lang-th; lit: Central Hospital) is a public tertiary hospital in Thailand located on corner of the Luang and Suea Pa Roads, Pom Prap Subdistrict, Pom Prap Sattru Phai District, Bangkok.

Klang Hospital is a public hospital under Medical Service Department, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), regarded as one of the oldest hospitals in Thailand.

The hospital was established in 1898 with the royal permission of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) for the aim of providing a number of services for prostitutes in this area (Chinatowan and Phlapphla Chai) in order to prevent epidemics. But when the building was finished with no budget, the Patrol Hospital (now Police Hospital) then asked for a place. Therefore, at the initial stage of service opening, therefore called Patrol Hospital to provide services to police officers and patients from various cases on July 7, 1900, with the addition of 36 beds for patients after opening service. It appears that not only the policemen and patients from various cases that have been treated, but still have civilians to receive treatment as well.[1]
