"Healthcare services in Koh Phangan, are relatively limited compared to larger cities in the country. The island has a few small clinics and pharmacies that can handle minor illnesses and injuries. For more serious medical issues, patients may need to travel to the nearby island of Koh Samui, which has better-equipped hospitals and a wider range of medical services. It is essential for visitors to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses, as the cost of treatment can be high. Additionally, it is recommended to bring any necessary prescription medications, as they may not be readily available on the island," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Koh Phangan, Thailand.
