IV drip FAQ

Message us on WhatsApp with your location (hotel name and room, or a map pin for boats) and how you are feeling. We will confirm the right drip, the price and an arrival time.

Usually within 30–60 minutes in Tonsai Village and Loh Dalum. Long Beach, Laem Tong and boats can take a little longer. We will give you an arrival time when you message us.

In your hotel room, bungalow, villa or on a boat. All you need is a comfortable place to sit or lie down.

Yes. We can bring several nurses for groups at the same location. Ask for a group rate when you book 3 or more drips.

Most drips take 30–60 minutes, plus about 10 minutes for the health check and setup.

Yes, our Hangover Recovery drip is designed for the morning after. For your safety we cannot treat anyone who is still heavily intoxicated.

Our Traveller’s Tummy drip rehydrates you and eases nausea. If you have a high fever, blood in your stool or can’t keep any fluids down for more than a day, please see a doctor.

Not usually. The fluids and vitamins don’t make you drowsy, but many guests relax and doze off while lying still for 30–60 minutes, especially after a rough night. Some anti-nausea medicines can cause drowsiness: if the nurse adds one, they will tell you, and you should rest rather than swim or dive straight afterwards. Read what a hangover drip can and can’t do, or see our hydration IV drip for a simple fluids-only option.

Cool down and drink first: most people recover within 30 minutes. A hydration drip can help afterwards if you feel washed out or can’t drink enough. Hot skin that has stopped sweating, confusion or collapse is heatstroke: call 1669. Our heat exhaustion guide explains the difference.

Yes, our Immunity Shield vitamin C drip, for when you feel run down. It won’t cure a cold, and if you have a fever we may advise seeing a doctor first, because in Thailand a fever can be dengue.

Tell us your symptoms and our nurse will recommend the most suitable drip. You can also add extras such as anti-nausea medication or a glutathione booster.

Yes, when it is given by a qualified professional. Every treatment is given by a licensed Thai nurse following doctor-approved protocols, with sterile single-use equipment and a health check before we start.

Tell your nurse if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have heart, kidney or liver conditions, take regular medication or have allergies. They may recommend seeing a doctor instead.

If you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, a head injury, confusion or severe pain, call 1669 (Thailand emergency medical services) or go to the nearest hospital immediately. An IV drip is not a substitute for emergency care.
