“Patong never really sleeps, and neither does our clinic here. The busiest hours are often late at night and early in the morning: people who have been sick after a night out, scooter falls on the hill roads, urgent questions after unprotected sex, and food poisoning that started in the small hours. Many patients are embarrassed to come in. They should not be. We see these problems every day, and early treatment is almost always simpler.” Dr. Ponlawat Pitsuwan

How to find us
The clinic is on Prachanukroh Road in Patong, a short ride from Patong Beach, Bangla Road and the Jungceylon shopping area. Patong’s one-way streets can be confusing, especially at night, so the easiest way to arrive is to open our Google Maps pin for Takecare Patong and show it to your taxi, tuk-tuk or Grab driver.
Our Google Business Profile has photos of the clinic, more than a thousand patient reviews and our live opening status. If you cannot get here, message us and a doctor will come to your hotel.
What we treat at the Patong clinic
Our Patong branch offers every Takecare service. Walk in at any hour to see a walk-in doctor in Phuket for fevers, sore throats, infections, rashes and injuries, and leave with your diagnosis, medicine from our pharmacy and an English report for your insurer. If you need a medical certificate in Phuket for missed work, a cancelled trip or an insurance claim, our doctor issues it after examining you.
Nightlife brings its own problems. Severe vomiting and dehydration after a night out often respond well to fluids and anti-nausea medicine given by hangover IV drip, and our main IV therapy in Phuket page explains honestly what drips can and cannot do. Blurred vision, confusion or severe breathing problems after drinking are different: they can be signs of alcohol or methanol poisoning, and need a hospital immediately. Stomach illness from food is also common here, and our food poisoning treatment page explains when to see a doctor.
Scooters are the fastest way around Patong and also the most common cause of injuries we treat, from road rash on the hill roads to wrist and ankle injuries. Our motorbike accident care page explains wound cleaning, when an X-ray is needed and what your travel insurance may ask for. Bites from street dogs and the monkeys on the roads around Patong need the rabies vaccine in Phuket, which we can start the same day.
Sexual health is a large part of our work in Patong, and every visit is confidential. Walk in for STD testing in Phuket or a rapid HIV test in Phuket. If you may have been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours, through a broken condom, unprotected sex or sexual assault, come immediately for PEP treatment in Phuket, day or night. The sooner PEP starts, the better it works.
Hotel visits in Patong

Insurance, payment and paperwork
We offer direct billing with most travel insurers. Send your insurer’s name and policy number on WhatsApp and we will check your cover before you come. If you pay first, you receive an itemised receipt and an English medical report for your claim, and we confirm the price of your visit before you arrive. Call the clinic on 081-718-9080 at any time.
