Walk-In Clinic in Koh Phi Phi
No appointment needed. See an English-speaking doctor at any hour, day or night.
Doctors on the island itself, awake at every hour, so a burn at two in the morning or a fever at dawn does not have to wait for the first boat. Walk-in, English-speaking, with an on-site laboratory — minutes from Tonsai Village, Loh Dalum Bay and Long Beach.
Message us with what has happened and we will tell you honestly whether to come in, wait until morning, or take a boat to Krabi Town — and roughly what it will cost.
Open every hour, every day

High fever with body aches in Krabi needs a dengue test before any painkiller.

A fever over 38C in the tropics is checked properly, not just medicated.
Swab and treat strep throat, or confirm it is viral and save the antibiotics.
Facial pressure and blocked nose after flying or diving, treated properly.
Swimmer's ear is the commonest diving complaint here. Painful ears seen the same day.

Severe and blistering sunburn cooled, dressed and assessed for burn depth.
Cooling and IV fluids after the viewpoint climb — and the signs of heat stroke.

Correct first aid, pain control and watching for a serious reaction.

No appointment, no referral, and no Thai residency requirement — at either branch, at any hour.
Both branches are staffed around the clock. There is no appointment system and no closing time to work around, which on an island with no hospital is the whole point.
Prices are given before treatment rather than after. Payment at the end of the visit, cash or card, with an itemised receipt and an English medical report.
Blood tests, including dengue and full blood counts, are run here and read the same visit rather than sent to the mainland and waited on.
A doctor walks to accommodation across Tonsai Village and Loh Dalum, usually within about half an hour. Long Beach and the eastern bays take longer.
Where the mainland is needed we stabilise you, call the receiving hospital ahead, and arrange the boat and the ambulance so the two connect.
The receipt and English report are the two documents almost every travel insurer asks for. Ask at the start of the visit, not after you have flown home.
Walk in without an appointment at any hour of the day or night — there is no wrong time to come, and nobody here minds being woken. If you cannot walk, ask for a doctor hotel visit. For anything the island cannot handle, see evacuation and hospital transfer.
Part of the Takecare Clinic group network in Krabi and Phuket. The two clinics share doctors, records and treatment plans, so care started here continues on the mainland without repetition.
