Takua Pa Hospital is a public district hospital in Bang Nai Si Subdistrict, Takua Pa District -- the nearest hospital of any kind to Khao Lak, Phang Nga province's main long-stay hub, roughly 30 minutes away by road. It reports 177 beds, around 40 doctors, a 6-bed intensive care unit, 4 operating rooms and on-site radiology and laboratory services, operating a 24-hour emergency department under Thailand's Ministry of Public Health. For everyday and emergency care it is the practical first stop for Khao Lak residents; for scheduled procedures, specialist consultations or JCI-accredited private-hospital standards, most long-stay residents plan on the roughly hour-long drive to Bangkok Hospital Phuket or Bangkok Hospital Siriroj instead. BAANLYY is not affiliated with Takua Pa Hospital and takes no paid placement in this guide; confirm all figures directly with the hospital.
As a Thai public district hospital, Takua Pa is oriented primarily toward the general Thai population, with more limited English-language support than Phuket's JCI-accredited private international hospitals -- expect a public-hospital experience (longer waits, much lower cost) and confirm current services directly with the hospital.
The hospital sits on Phet Kasem Road in Bang Nai Si Subdistrict, Takua Pa District, about 30 minutes by road from central Khao Lak. Phang Nga province has no rail transit; most patients arrive by car, motorbike or Grab, and a genuine emergency should always go through 1669 rather than self-transport.
