Injuries we treat at the clinic

Motorbike accidents cause more holiday injuries in Pattaya than anything else. Even a slow-speed slide leaves scrapes and road rash that pick up grit, sand and bacteria from the tarmac, and skin wounds in a tropical climate become infected far more easily than they would at home. Proper cleaning in the first few hours is the single biggest factor in how well a wound heals, so professional wound cleaning and dressing is worth a short visit even for injuries that look manageable.

Beyond road injuries, our doctors regularly treat cuts and lacerations that need closing, sprained ankles and wrists from stairs, pools and uneven pavements, minor burns from exhaust pipes and kitchens, coral and rock injuries from the beach, and bites or scratches from street dogs and cats. Animal wounds carry an extra consideration in Thailand: rabies exists here, so any bite or scratch that breaks the skin should be assessed the same day — we provide rabies vaccination at the clinic when it is indicated.

What happens when you walk in

A doctor examines you first and checks for anything beyond the obvious injury — reduced movement, numbness, signs of a deeper wound or a possible fracture. Simple wounds are then irrigated and cleaned thoroughly under local anaesthetic where needed. Depending on the size, depth and location of a cut, we close it with sutures, adhesive strips or medical glue; deeper wounds that need exploration are handled as minor surgery on site. We also review your tetanus status and give a booster during the same visit if you need one.

You leave with a properly dressed wound, clear aftercare instructions in plain English and an honest plan for review. Most simple injuries are treated within the hour. Dressings are usually changed every one to two days, and when the wound has healed we take the stitches out too — our suture removal service also covers wounds that were stitched elsewhere.

When to go straight to a hospital

A walk-in clinic is the right place for most everyday injuries, but not for major trauma. Go directly to a hospital emergency department — or call for an ambulance — if there has been any loss of consciousness, a severe blow to the head, chest or abdominal injury, bleeding that does not stop with firm pressure, an obviously deformed or unusable limb, or any difficulty breathing. If you are not sure how serious an injury is, contact us or come in: our urgent care team will assess you at any hour and arrange hospital transfer immediately if you need a higher level of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment for injury treatment at your Pattaya clinic?

No. We are a walk-in clinic and we are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Come straight to 9 South Pattaya Road whenever the injury happens and a doctor will see you — no booking and no referral needed.

Can you stitch a cut at the clinic?

Yes. Our doctors suture suitable cuts and lacerations on site, usually under local anaesthetic. Wounds close best within hours of the injury, so come in promptly. Very deep, heavily contaminated or complex wounds may need hospital care, and we will tell you honestly if that is the case.

What should I do about road rash after a motorbike accident?

Rinse the area with clean water as soon as you can, then come to the clinic. Road rash traps grit and bacteria under the skin, and thorough professional cleaning in the first hours makes infection and scarring much less likely. We clean, dress and review the wound until it has healed.

Will I need a tetanus shot?

It depends on the wound and on when you were last vaccinated. The doctor will ask about your vaccination history and advise you; if a tetanus booster is needed, it can be given at the clinic during the same visit.

When should I go to a hospital emergency room instead of the clinic?

Go directly to a hospital emergency department for any loss of consciousness, a severe head injury, chest or abdominal trauma, bleeding that will not stop with pressure, an obviously deformed limb or difficulty breathing. If you are unsure, contact us or walk in — we will assess you and arrange hospital transfer if you need it.

Do you provide follow-up care after an injury?

Yes. Most wounds need dressing changes every one to two days, and stitches are usually removed after roughly five to fourteen days depending on the part of the body. You can walk in for every follow-up visit or plan them around your travel schedule.
