Frequently asked questions
Is IV therapy safe?
Yes, when a qualified professional gives it after a proper health check. Our licensed nurses screen every client first, use sterile single-use equipment and stay with you the whole time. If a drip isn’t right for you, we’ll say so. Read more in is an IV drip safe?

Can I get a drip if I’m still drunk?
No. For your safety, we can’t treat anyone who is still heavily intoxicated. Sleep for a few hours first, then message us.
Who shouldn’t have an IV drip?
Tell us if you are pregnant, have heart or kidney problems, take regular medication or have allergies. The nurse will check this during the health screening.
Do you treat at clinics, hotels and on boats?
We come to private villas, hotels, hostels, resorts and retreat centres. For anywhere else, just ask.
Which drip should I choose?
Tell us how you feel and we’ll recommend one. As a guide: Hangover Recovery after a party, Hydration Boost after too much sun or training, Traveller’s Tummy for stomach bugs, and Energy & Recovery for jet lag or fatigue.
Can I book in advance?
Yes. You can book for a set time, which we recommend for party mornings and group bookings. Send us the date, time, location and number of people.
Does it hurt?
You’ll feel a quick pinch when the cannula goes in, then nothing. Most people read, nap or watch something while the drip runs.
Can I add extra vitamins to my drip?
Yes. Extra vitamin C, glutathione, B12 or an extra litre of fluids can be added to most drips. Ask your nurse.
Can I drink alcohol after a drip?
We recommend waiting at least a few hours and drinking plenty of water. Your nurse will give you aftercare advice.
How much does an IV drip cost?
Our drips start from ฿2,900 and include the nurse’s visit and all equipment. See all prices on our treatments page, or compare costs across the country in IV drip prices in Thailand.
Do hangover drips really work?
The fluids help you rehydrate quickly, especially when you can’t keep water down, and many people feel better within a few hours. The evidence for the added vitamins is limited. We explain it honestly in do hangover IV drips work?
When is the next Full Moon Party?
It’s held at Haad Rin once a month, around the full moon, with an extra New Year countdown party on 31 December. See the Full Moon Party dates for 2027, and pre-book your recovery drip the day before.
What if I need a hospital or a doctor?
We’re a mobile IV drip service, not a hospital. In an emergency, call 1669. Our guide to hospitals and medical help on Koh Phangan explains where to go.
Feeling rough? We’ll come to you.
