Minor Surgery in Koh Samui
A wet pool deck, one wrong step, and now there is a deep cut on your foot that will not stop bleeding. Or maybe a broken bottle in the sand at Lamai found you first. Either way, you can see it needs more than a plaster, and you are hoping stitches on a Thai island will not turn into a drama.
It will not. Our Minor Surgery in Koh Samui service handles stitches, wound repair, abscess drainage, and removal of cysts, splinters, and fish hooks under local anaesthetic. Our doctors do these small procedures every day, in clean treatment rooms, at three clinics that never close.
Minor Surgery in Koh Samui — What We Treat
Our doctors stitch cuts from glass, coral, kitchen knives, and scooter falls, and they repair wounds so they heal with as little scarring as possible. We drain abscesses and infected cysts, remove foreign objects like splinters, sea urchin spines, and glass, and take off small lumps and skin tags. Everything is done under local anaesthetic, so the area goes numb and you stay awake and comfortable. Most procedures take under an hour from start to finish.
Timing matters with cuts. A wound is easiest to close cleanly within the first hours, so come in as soon as you can, day or night. We clean the wound properly, check whether you need a tetanus booster, and give you clear aftercare steps. Because our clinics in Chaweng, Lamai, and Bangrak are open 24/7, there is always a doctor ready to help.

How Much Does Minor Surgery Cost in Koh Samui?
Before any procedure, the doctor examines the wound, explains what needs to be done, and gives you the full price. Nothing starts until you agree, and there are no hidden fees. Minor surgery in Koh Samui at a clinic costs far less than the same stitches at a private hospital. We bill major travel insurers directly and provide itemized receipts and medical reports.

When to See a Doctor
Do not wait it out if symptoms are severe or getting worse. Seek medical care promptly if you have a high fever above 39°C, difficulty breathing, chest pain, severe or spreading pain, signs of dehydration, confusion, or any symptom that concerns you. In the tropics, small problems can become serious quickly — early treatment is faster, cheaper and safer.
Our clinics are open 24 hours a day. When in doubt, walk in, call us, or message us on WhatsApp and describe your symptoms — a doctor will tell you what to do next.
Minor Surgery in Koh Samui — FAQ
The questions travellers and residents actually ask us, answered by our doctors.
How much do stitches cost in Koh Samui?
It depends on the size and depth of the cut, so we cannot give one number for everyone. You always get the exact price before we start, with no hidden fees, and stitches at our clinics cost far less than at a private hospital. Send us a photo of the wound on WhatsApp for a free quote.
Can I walk in with a cut, or do I need to book?
Just walk in. All three clinics are open 24/7 and cuts are treated as a priority, so you will not sit bleeding in a waiting room for long. Keep gentle pressure on the wound with a clean cloth on the way. Bring your passport and insurance details if you have them.
Are your doctors qualified to do minor surgery?
Yes. All procedures are done by licensed Thai doctors who handle stitches, drainage, and removals daily, and who explain everything in clear English. Our clinics hold 4.7 stars on Google from more than 400 reviews, many from travellers who came in for exactly this kind of treatment.
Will getting stitches hurt?
The only real sting is the local anaesthetic injection, which takes a few seconds. After that the area goes numb and you should feel pressure but no pain. Tell the doctor right away if you feel anything sharp, and more anaesthetic can be given. Most people say it was far easier than they feared.
I cut my foot on coral. Is that worse than a normal cut?
Coral cuts need extra care. Tiny fragments often stay in the wound, and warm sea water carries bacteria that love broken skin. We clean coral cuts thoroughly, remove any fragments, and close the wound only when it is safe to do so. Come in even for small coral cuts, because they get infected easily here.
Can I swim after minor surgery in Koh Samui?
Not right away. Stitched wounds need to stay dry, and pools and sea water both raise the infection risk. The doctor will tell you exactly how many days to wait based on your wound. We can also fit waterproof dressings for showering, and we check the wound at your follow-up visits.
