His official profile lists Thai psychiatry and family-medicine boards, Chiang Mai University medical training and Thai Medical License 18765 (doctor profile).

The English information page publishes daily hours 09:00–17:00, closed Saturday and Sunday, and lists online counselling, medicine delivery, medical reports, visa-extension and fit-to-fly certificates, general medical care, laboratory investigation and referral services. Ingjai is at 68/5 Sompoch Chiang Mai 700 Years Road, Tazala, Mueang Chiang Mai (English information). Sources checked: 7 September 2026.

Psychiatry and psychotherapy in one outpatient setting

The clinic's service pages describe direct psychiatric consultation as well as psychotherapy using cognitive behavioural therapy and insight-oriented approaches. It also publishes family-medicine services. This combination can be useful when a patient is unsure whether symptoms require medication, talking therapy, general medical investigation or referral. The appropriate route is decided through assessment, not from an online symptom list.

Dr Ngamwong Jarusuraisin is identified as the founder, psychiatrist and family physician. His profile lists Thai board credentials in psychiatry and family medicine, Chiang Mai University training and Thai Medical License 18765. Patients should still confirm who will conduct a particular appointment, especially when booking psychotherapy, online counselling or a medical certificate.

Preparing for a first appointment

Bring a current medicine list, allergy information, previous psychiatric reports and a brief timeline of symptoms. Mention sleep, alcohol or substance use, significant medical conditions and any recent medicine changes. Expats who need continuing prescriptions should ask which medicines are available in Thailand, what documentation is required and how monitoring or refills are handled.

The clinic lists English-speaking care with Thai and multilingual support. Confirm the language for the exact doctor or therapist and whether an interpreter is involved. For online counselling, ask which platform is used, how privacy is handled and whether the clinician can provide care when the patient is temporarily outside Thailand.

Ingjai also lists medicine delivery, laboratory investigation, referral, medical reports, visa-extension documents and fit-to-fly certificates. These are separate services with their own eligibility requirements. A certificate cannot be assumed before examination, and the patient should explain the authority, airline, employer or immigration purpose when booking.

Routine care and urgent situations

Published hours are 09:00–17:00, with Saturday and Sunday closed. Those hours make Ingjai a planned outpatient service, not a 24-hour crisis department. Anyone in immediate danger, experiencing a severe medical reaction or unable to remain safe should use an emergency service instead of waiting for a routine reply.

The clinic is at 68/5 Moo 1, Somphot Chiang Mai 700 Pi Road, Tha Sala, Mueang Chiang Mai 50000. Before attending, confirm the appointment type, fee, duration, language and whether the visit is in person or online. Ask about cancellation rules and the process for contacting the clinic between sessions.

For longer-term care, agree on the main goals and how progress will be reviewed. If medication and psychotherapy are both involved, clarify who coordinates them and how information is shared with consent. International patients who may leave Chiang Mai should request a concise treatment summary, diagnosis where appropriate, medicine details and a follow-up plan that another clinician can understand.
