Koh Kood Information and FAQs – Hospitals, Police, Money, Internet, Shops

To help you with those practical requirements of your holiday, we have pulled together useful Koh Kood information and FAQs on hospitals, police, post, phones, money, internet and shopping.

In brief, the island does have a central local hospital with a central main police station nearby. It also now has a bank and three ATMs, as well as currency exchanges.

Mobile phone and internet coverage is very good, both in connections and speeds.


Is there a hospital on Koh Kood?

Koh Kood Hospital

Koh Kood has a small hospital on the main inland road near Ao Tapao Beach (Hin Dam), north from Klong Chao Beach. This can deal adequately with the usual day to day problems.

More serious cases will involve transfer to Trat on the mainland – (paid) speedboats are available for this purpose if needed – where there are two options, the public hospital or the private one, Bangkok Trat.

Although the area has not 100% eradicated malaria, cases are extremely rare and anti-malarials should not be required. The local hospital carries rabies shots and will give them as a precaution if bitten by a dog.

There is a good pharmacy in Klong Chao, around the corner from from the bridge heading north, with a 2nd one in the central Hin Dam area, soon after the Italian Pizza and Pasta restaurant.

***We strongly advise you to take out health insurance before travel. If you take medication daily, bring it with you – and a back-up supply extra just in case – do not assume the island will have it.***
