Should you require medical assistance when you visit a Koh Samui resort, The Samui International Hospital caters for Thais and foreigners with all the needed facilities and services expected of an international hospital. Koh Chang has as many as seven clinics on the island of which the newest is at Baan Khlong Nonsi with two English speaking doctors. These clinics are small but well equipped and the personnel are well trained professionals. Even the relatively small Koh Phangan has a hospital in the town of Thong Sala, which is also the main entry point to the island and offers 24 hour emergency assistance. The hospital offers trauma and dental treatment and also has a family doctor on call. With more serious cases of illness or injury, the staff at Thong Sala hospital will arrange immediate transfer to Koh Samui International hospital.
