Piyavate Hospital , a private hospital, is located on Rama IX Road in West-Central Bangkok , approximately 1 km. from the The Mass Communication Organization of Thailand Intersection, on more than 3 acres of land. The hospital is a modern 27-story building with over 500 indoor parking spaces, which can be accessed conveniently from the International Airport and all points in Bangkok.

The Piyavate Hospital Project was originated by the Hoontrakul Family, founders of the Imperial Group of Hotels. Other major original share holders included primary lenders that provided approximately 800 million Baths syndicated loan secured by the property. The construction of the hospital building was completed in 1993 and fully equipped with the latest modern medical and surgical equipment.

During Thailand 's financial crisis of 1996, the hospital suffered financially due to its huge capacity load and strong competition from other hospitals in the area, primarily Bangkok General and Rama IX. As a result the Hoontrakul Family brought in a new investor, the Yoowidhya Family, founders and owners of the highly successful energy drink franchise “Red Bull”. The Yoowidhya Family took a small stake in the hospital and then substantially increased their shareholding taking a 50% stake in the hospital in 2001.
