About this experience

Pharmacies in Phi Phi Don are small, independent shops located along the main walking street and near the pier, serving both residents and tourists. They stock common Thai medications, first-aid supplies, and personal care items, with staff able to provide basic advice on minor ailments. These outlets operate daily, typically from 9am to 9pm, and are the primary source for prescription refills and over-the-counter drugs on the island.

What to expect

Shops carry paracetamol, ibuprofen, antihistamines, oral rehydration salts, and motion-sickness tablets, all sold without a prescription.
Staff can dispense antibiotics and other prescription-only medicines if you present a valid prescription from a Thai or international doctor.
Each pharmacy has a small refrigerated section for insulin, vaccines, and other temperature-sensitive medications, with backup power during island outages.
You can buy basic wound care items, including sterile gauze, antiseptic solution, and elastic bandages, for treating cuts from snorkelling or rock climbing.
Pharmacies also sell sunscreen with SPF 50, insect repellent with DEET, and after-bite lotions, suited for beach and jungle activities.
Most shops accept cash only, with a few taking credit cards for purchases over 500 baht, and they close for 30 minutes during afternoon prayer on Fridays.
