Health care in krabi is generally good, with the quality and quantity of hospitals and clinics being exceptionally high, mainly due to the large influx of visitors, many of whom come for cheaper treatment than they can receive in their own countries. The Thais are exceptionally talented at nursing, though specialist knowledge may not be quite as extensive here. Tropical diseases are found here, although cases are small. Most Western tourists, and indeed ex-pats living here, ensure they keep their inoculations up to date. Your local doctor at home will be able to give you a list of advisable injections required before you travel, and most countries’ health ministries produce a ‘health brief’ for visiting foreign countries.

Never drink tap water, and don’t even gargle with it. Always use bottled water, which is readily available and inexpensive, particularly if you choose a local brand.

The sun is strong, even during the rainy season and when there is cloud cover, so use a good sunscreen and limit your exposure time. Malaria is no threat, but mosquito bites can be a major irritant.

Seafood is mostly caught locally and is of high quality, but given the spicy ingredients to almost any meal, the occasional upset stomach is possibility.

The most likely way of slowing down your vacation is by having an accident, so watch your step when crossing the road, even (or especially) at traffic light and pedestrian crossings.
