The clinic serving the Bali Hai Pier area

Boats to Koh Larn — the island most visitors know as Coral Island — load up at Bali Hai Pier, at the far southern end of Pattaya Bay, and the streets behind the terminal hold some of South Pattaya’s busiest hotels. When something goes wrong with your health here, a hospital is rarely necessary. Our clinic sits a few minutes up South Pattaya Road and handles the full range of complaints that interrupt a beach holiday: fevers, ear pain, stomach trouble, rashes, and cuts that need proper wound dressing before they turn nasty in the tropical heat.

Being close matters most around boat departures. Crossings to the island run through the morning, and plenty of travellers discover a problem — a queasy stomach, an angry rash, a dressing that needs changing — an hour before they are due on the water. Because we take walk-ins at any hour, you can be examined, treated, and back at the terminal without rearranging your day. The same applies in reverse: step off the last boat feeling rough, and our doors are still open.

What visitors walk in for before and after Koh Larn

Before a crossing, the most frequent request is help with motion sickness. A brief consultation lets the doctor assess you and provide suitable medication along with practical advice, so the ride out feels much calmer. After a day on the island, the pattern shifts: strong sun and salt water leave people burnt, overheated, and low on fluids. Where dehydration has set in, IV drip therapy at the clinic restores fluids and electrolytes considerably faster than drinking alone.

Feet cut on coral or rocky shallows, shins scraped on boat ladders, and jellyfish stings all benefit from careful cleaning the same day — small wounds infect quickly in warm, humid weather when they are left sandy and untreated. Upset stomachs are common too, whether from unfamiliar food or an accidental mouthful of seawater; our page on diarrhea treatment explains how we approach it. Most consultations are finished within the hour, and results for many common tests come back the same day.

Finding us from the pier

Leave the pier area and follow the coast road north to the junction where Walking Street meets South Pattaya Road, then continue straight up the main road — the clinic is at number 9. A metered taxi, Grab, or shared baht bus covers the distance in roughly 15–20 minutes, though evening congestion near Walking Street can add a little time. If you are genuinely too unwell to travel, a doctor can visit your hotel instead — but most guests around the pier find the short ride to the clinic quicker.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Takecare Medical Clinic from Bali Hai Pier?

The clinic is at 9 South Pattaya Road, between two and four kilometres from the ferry terminal depending on where you start. A taxi or baht bus normally takes 15 to 20 minutes; evening traffic around Walking Street can stretch that slightly.

Do I need an appointment to be seen?

No. We are a walk-in clinic, open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Come in whenever suits you — before an early ferry, between boats, or late at night after the last crossing has returned.

Can you help with seasickness before my boat to Koh Larn?

Yes. Visit the clinic before you head to the pier and a doctor can assess you and provide suitable motion sickness medication together with practical advice for the crossing. A short consultation before departure is usually all it takes.

What problems do you treat after a day on Coral Island?

Sunburn, heat exhaustion, dehydration, cuts from coral or rocks, jellyfish stings, insect bites, and upset stomachs are the most frequent. We clean and dress wounds, give IV fluids where needed, and run any necessary tests on site.

Do the doctors speak English?

Yes. Consultations are held in clear English, and we prepare English-language receipts and medical reports that you can submit to your travel insurer if you plan to claim.

Is the clinic open at night?

Always. The clinic never closes — we run 24/7 through weekends and public holidays, so late-returning boat passengers are as welcome as daytime walk-ins.
