Koh Chang Hospital is the island's only government hospital, on the east coast at Dan Mai, about a 15-minute drive south of the ferry piers -- the opposite side of the island from the private hospital at White Sand Beach. Run under Thailand's Ministry of Public Health, it treats both Thai nationals and tourists at standard public-hospital rates, a fraction of what the private hospital charges for the same kind of visit. Facilities are more basic and waits are typically longer than at the private branch, and English is spoken but less consistently -- a genuine trade-off between cost and convenience rather than a lesser option outright. For anything beyond routine care, both hospitals on the island ultimately refer serious or specialist cases to Bangkok Hospital Trat on the mainland.

Koh Chang Hospital is significantly cheaper than Koh Chang International Hospital, but generally has more basic facilities and longer waits. It's a genuine option for routine, non-urgent care, especially for residents on a budget.
