All tourism destinations and provincial capitals have hospitals and clinics staffed by well-trained doctors and nurses. In the case of an emergency, an ambulance can be summoned from any private hospital. Be aware that private hospitals in Thailand are very expensive.

As in most other countries, visitors do not require vaccinations unless coming from or passing through a designated contaminated area.
