Whilst on holiday there is always the risk of children getting ill and not feeling well. Below is important information on Koh Lanta medical centres for you to use. If it is an emergency just go to your reception desk and they will help you.
Koh Lanta Clinics and Hospital
There are 4 very good medical centers based on the Island and also one hospital. The medical centers are in Saladan, Phra Ae or Long Beach and also Khlong Nin. The hospital is located in the old town and from many places it is at least a 30 minute drive away. The hospital and the Siam Clinic in Long Beach are the only places which open 24hrs a day but because its an Island you will find not all emergency procedures can be done here and you may be required to go to Trang, Krabi or Phuket where they have larger hospitals. There are also many pharmacies dotted around the island which will help with smaller aches and pains but for any emergency seeking the right help is very important. If you are in your hotel just go straight to reception they will normally drive you to the clinics or hospital.
