IV Drip in Thong Sala – We Come to You

Need an IV drip in Thong Sala? Skip the waiting room. A licensed nurse comes to your hotel, condo or villa in town, and you rest in your own room while the drip runs. It suits travellers who have just arrived, anyone flattened by the heat, and anyone with a stomach bug who doesn’t want to sit in a queue.

IV drip in Thong Sala: we come to you

Thong Sala is Koh Phangan’s main town, on the west and south-west coast. It has the island’s main ferry pier, the food and night market, shops, banks, pharmacies and clinics. It is a handy base, with everything close by.

Our typical arrival time is about 45 minutes, anywhere from 30 to 60 depending on where you are and how busy we are. Send a location pin on WhatsApp with your hotel or condo name and room number. If you are in a condo block, tell us the building and floor too.

Arriving tired at Thong Sala pier

Most visitors reach Koh Phangan by ferry, and the main pier is in Thong Sala. By the time you step off the boat, you may have had a long-haul flight, a connection and a hot transfer behind you. Many people arrive dehydrated, short on sleep and out of sync with the time zone.

If that sounds like you, our Energy & Recovery drip is a Myers’-style blend of B12 and B-complex, magnesium and calcium, and vitamin C. It costs from ฿4,200 and takes 45–60 minutes. Read more about the Myers’ cocktail on Koh Phangan and jet lag. Evidence for vitamins in drips is limited, so be realistic: rest, water and daylight still matter most for jet lag. If you mainly feel dried out, the hydration drip below may suit you better.

Heat, the night market and a bad stomach

Town days are hot. Walking between the pier, shops and market in the midday sun, with little shade, can leave you drained and headachy. Our hydration IV drip, the Hydration Boost, contains 1L balanced electrolytes, magnesium and vitamin C. It costs from ฿2,900 and takes 30–45 minutes.

The night market is one of the best places on the island to eat, but a new diet and the heat can upset your stomach. If you can’t keep fluids down, the Traveller’s Tummy drip (from ฿3,900, 60 min) adds anti-nausea medicine and stomach protection to 1L electrolyte fluids. See our food poisoning IV drip for details. Medicines are given only if the nurse’s health check shows they suit you.

What happens when the nurse arrives

The nurse asks a few health questions, checks your blood pressure and heart rate, and places a small cannula using sterile, single-use equipment. They stay with you the whole time, then remove the cannula and take all waste away. Prices include the visit and all equipment. Our how it works page explains each step.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, or have heart or kidney disease, tell us when you book; the nurse may refer you to a doctor.

We work every day from 8:00 to 22:00. Message us with your location in Thong Sala and how you feel, and we will tell you when the nurse can reach you.
