Receipts, all evidencing rights of like
tenor with respect to the Deposited
Securities, and all issued or to be issued
upon the terms and subject to the
conditions herein provided, which shall
govern the continuing arrangement by
the Depositary with respect to initial
deposits as well as the rights of holders
and Owners of Receipts subsequent to
such deposits.
The issuer of the
Receipts is deemed to be the legal entity
resulting from the agreement herein
provided for.
The issuance of Receipts
against deposits generally may be
suspended, or the issuance of Receipts
against the deposit of particular Shares
may be withheld, if such action is
deemed necessary or advisable by the
Depositary at any time and from time to
time because of any requirements of any
government or governmental body or
commission or for any other reason.
The Depositary assumes no liability
with respect to the validity or worth of
the Deposited Securities.
2. TRANSFER OF
RECEIPTS.
Until the surrender of
this Receipt in accordance with the
terms hereof, the Depositary will
maintain an office in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, for
the registration of Receipts and transfers
of Receipts where the Owners of the
Receipts may, during regular business
hours, inspect the transfer books
maintained by the Depositary that list
the Owners of the Receipts. The
transfer of this Receipt is registrable on
the books of the Depositary at its
Corporate Trust Office by the holder
hereof in person or by duly authorized
attorney, upon surrender of this Receipt
properly endorsed for transfer or
accompanied by proper instruments of
transfer and funds sufficient to pay any
applicable transfer taxes, and the fees
and expenses of the Depositary and
upon compliance with such regulations,
if any, as the Depositary may establish
for such purpose. This Receipt may be
split into other such Receipts, or may be
combined with other such Receipts into
one Receipt, representing the same
aggregate number of American
Depositary Shares as the Receipt or
Receipts surrendered. Upon such split
or combination not involving a transfer,
a charge will be made as provided
herein. The Depositary may close the
transfer books at any time or from time
to time when deemed expedient by it in
connection with the performance of its
duties hereunder.
3. PROOF OF
CITIZENSHIP OR RESIDENCE.
The Depositary may
require any holder or Owner of
Receipts, or any person presenting
securities for deposit against the
issuance of Receipts, from time to time,
to file such proof of citizenship or
residence and to furnish such other
information, by affidavit or otherwise,
and to execute such certificates and
other instruments as may be necessary
or proper to comply with any laws or
regulations relating to the issuance or
transfer of Receipts, the receipt or
distribution of dividends or other
property, or the taxation thereof or of
receipts or deposited securities, and the
Depositary may withhold the issuance or
registration of transfer of any Receipt or
payment of such dividends or delivery
of such property from any holder,
Owner or other person, as the case may
be, who shall fail to file such proofs,
certificates or other instruments.
4. TRANSFERABILITY
RECORDOWNERSHIP.
It is a condition of this
Receipt and every successive holder and
Owner of this Receipt by accepting or
holding the same consents and agrees,
that title to this Receipt, when properly
endorsed or accompanied by proper
instruments of transfer, is transferable
by delivery with the same effect as in
the case of a negotiable instrument
provided, however, that prior to the due
presentation of this Receipt for
registration of transfer as above
provided, and subject to the provisions
of Article 9 below, the Depositary,
notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary, may treat the person in whose
name this Receipt is registered on the
books of the Depositary as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of
determining the person entitled to
distribution of dividends and for any
other purpose.
5. TAX LIABILITY.
The Depositary shall not
be liable for any taxes or governmental
or other assessments or charges that may
become payable in respect of the
Deposited Securities, but a ratable part
of any and all of the same, whether such
tax, assessment or charge becomes
payable by reason of any present or
future law, statute, charter provision,
bylaw, regulation or otherwise, shall be
payable by the Owner hereof to the
Depositary at any time on request.
Upon the failure of the holder or Owner
of this Receipt to pay any such amount,
the Depositary may sell for account of
such Owner an amount of the Deposited
Securities equal to all or any part of the
amount represented by this Receipt, and
may apply the proceeds in payment of
such obligations, the Owner hereof
remaining liable for any deficiency.
6. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES.
Every person presenting
Shares for deposit shall be deemed
thereby to represent and warrant that
such Shares and each certificate, if any,
therefor are validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable, that such Shares
were not issued in violation of any
preemptive or similar rights of the
holders of any securities and that the
person making such deposit is duly
authorized so to do. Every such person
shall also be deemed to represent that
the deposit of such securities and the
sale of American Depositary Shares
representing such Shares by that person
in the United States are not restricted
under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended the Securities Act of 1933.
Such representations and warranties
shall survive the deposit of such
securities and issuance of Receipts.
This Receipt is issued
subject, and all rights of the holder or
Owner hereof are expressly subject, to
the terms and conditions set forth on
both sides of this Receipt, all of which
form a part of the agreement evidenced
in this Receipt and to all of which the
holder or Owner hereof by accepting
this Receipt consents.
7. REPORTS OF ISSUER
OF DEPOSITED SECURITIES
VOTING RIGHTS.
As of the date of the
establishment of the program for
issuance of Receipts by the Depositary,
the Depositary believed, based on
limited investigation, that the issuer of
the Deposited Securities either i
furnished the Securities and Exchange
Commission the Commission with
certain public reports and documents
required by foreign law or otherwise or
ii published information in English on
its Internet website at
http//www.bangkokhospital.com or
another electronic information delivery
system generally available to the public
in its primary trading market, in either
case in compliance with Rule 12g32b
under the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934 as in effect and applicable to
that issuer at that time. However, the
Depositary does not assume any duty to
determine if the issuer of the Deposited
Securities is complying with the current
requirements of Rule 12g32b or to take
any action if that issuer is not complying
with those requirements.
The Depositary shall be
under no obligation to give notice to the
holder or Owner of this Receipt of any
meeting of shareholders or of any report
of or communication from the issuer of
the Deposited Securities, or of any other
matter concerning the affairs of such
issuer, except as herein expressly
provided. The Depositary undertakes to
make available for inspection by holders
and Owners of the Receipts at its
Corporate Trust Office, any reports and
communication received from the issuer
of the Deposited Securities that are both
i received by the Depositary as the
holder of the Deposited Securities and ii
made generally available to the holders
of the Deposited Securities by the issuer
thereof. Such reports and
communications will be available in the
language in which they were received
by the Depositary from the issuer of the
Deposited Securities, except to the
extent, if any, that the Depositary in its
sole discretion elects to both i translate
into English any of such reports or
communications that were not in
English when received by the
Depositary and ii make such
translations, if any, available for
inspection by holders and Owners of the
Receipts. The Depositary has no
obligation of any kind to translate any of
such reports or communications or to
make such translation, if any, available
for such inspection.
The Depositary may, in
its discretion, exercise, in any manner,
or not exercise, any and all voting rights
that may exist in respect of the
Deposited Securities. The Depositary
may, but assumes no obligation to,
notify Owners of an upcoming meeting
of holders of Deposited Securities or
solicit instructions from Owners as to
the exercise of any voting rights with
respect to the Deposited Securities.
Upon the written request of the Owner
of this Receipt and payment to it of any
expense involved, the Depositary may,
in its sole discretion, but assumes no
obligation to, exercise any voting rights
with respect to the amount of the
Deposited Securities represented by the
American Depositary Shares evidenced
by this Receipt in accordance with that
request.
8. DISTRIBUTIONS.
Until the surrender of
this Receipt, the Depositary a shall
distribute or otherwise make available to
the Owner hereof, at a time and in such
manner as it shall determine, any
distributions of cash, Shares or other
securities or property other than
subscription or other rights and b may
distribute or otherwise make available to
the Owner hereof, at a time and in such
manner as it shall determine, any
distributions of subscription or other
rights, in each case received with respect
to the amount of Deposited Securities
represented hereby, after deduction, or
upon payment of the fees and expenses
of the Depositary described in Article 13
below, and the withholding of any taxes
in respect thereof provided, however,
that the Depositary shall not make any
distribution for which it has not received
satisfactory assurances, which may be
an opinion of United States counsel, that
the distribution is registered under, or is
exempt from or not subject to the
registration requirements of, the
Securities Act of 1933 or any other
applicable law. If the Depositary is not
obligated, under the preceding sentence,
to distribute or make available a
distribution under the preceding
sentence, the Depositary may sell such
Shares, other securities, subscription or
other rights, securities or other property,
and the Depositary shall distribute the
net proceeds of a sale of that kind to the
Owners entitled to them, after deduction
or upon payment of the fees and
expenses of the Depositary described in
Article 13 below and the withholding of
any taxes in respect thereof. In lieu of
distributing fractional American
Depositary Shares for distributed Shares
or other fractional securities, the
Depositary may, in its discretion, sell
the amount of securities or property
equal to the aggregate of those fractions.
In the case of subscription or other
rights, the Depositary may, in its
discretion, issue warrants for such
subscription or other rights and/or seek
instructions from the Owner of this
Receipt as to the disposition to be made
of such subscription or other rights. If
the Depositary does not distribute or
make available to Owners or sell
distributed subscription or other rights,
the Depositary shall allow those rights
to lapse. Sales of subscription or other
rights, securities or other property by the
Depositary shall be made at such time
and in such manner as the Depositary
may deem advisable.
If the Depositary shall
find in its opinion that any cash
distribution is not convertible in its
entirety or with respect to the Owners of
a portion of the Receipts, on a
reasonable basis into U.S. Dollars
available to it in the City of New York,
or if any required approval or license of
any government or agency for such
conversion is denied or is not obtainable
within a reasonable period, the
Depositary may in its discretion make
such conversion and distribution in U.S.
Dollars to the extent possible, at such
time and rates of conversion as the
Depositary shall deem appropriate, to
the Owners entitled thereto and shall
with respect to any such currency not
converted or convertible either
i distribute such foreign currency to the
holders entitled thereto or ii hold such
currency for the respective accounts of
such Owners uninvested and without
liability for interest thereon, in which
case the Depositary may distribute
appropriate warrants or other
instruments evidencing rights to receive
such foreign currency.
9. RECORD DATES
ESTABLISHED BY DEPOSITARY.
Whenever any cash
dividend or other cash distribution shall
become payable or any distribution
other than cash shall be made, or
whenever rights shall be offered, with
respect to Deposited Securities, or
whenever the Depositary shall receive
notice of any meeting of Owners of
Deposited Securities, or whenever it is
necessary or desirable to determine the
Owners of Receipts, the Depositary will
fix a record date for the determination of
the Owners generally or the Owners of
Receipts who shall be entitled to receive
such dividend, distribution or rights, or
the net proceeds of the sale thereof, to
give instructions for the exercise of
voting rights at any such meeting or
responsible for any other purpose for
which the record date was set.

Deposited Securities to the Owners of
Receipts, provided that in the case of

Deposited Securities, the Depositary

determine an equivalent number of
American Depositary Shares to be

redemption only to the Owners of
Receipts evidencing those American
Depositary Shares. The sole right of the
Owners of Receipts evidencing

not made available to Owners or
holders, v for any special, consequential
or punitive damages for any breach of

OF THIS RECEIPT.

of the amount of the Deposited
Securities represented hereby upon the
same terms and conditions, and upon
