In Thailand, medical services for foreigners are “private” – we have to pay. So buying medical insurance may be wise.
If you get sick, ask at Reception in your hotel for directions to the nearest pharmacy.
The pharmacy near your tourist hotel will have an English-speaking employee. You will be sold treatment or advised to go to the nearest doctor or hospital, as appropriate. Your taxi driver will be given instructions if necessary.
The hospitals in popular tourist areas are far superior to our sad NHS ones.
Ambulance services are provided by sundry independent private companies, which have to be paid separately.
I have written an 8-page newbies guide to the Bangkok red light district. You may find something interesting in it. Let me know if you would like a copy.
