A pathologist, while an MD, is trained in additional skills that allow a proper cause of death to be termined. A GP or a surgeon, or dermatologist, or an ER physician may be competent in their field, but they are not qualified to render the same assessments as a pathologist. Surat Thani is the closest facility with advanced laboratory equipment and the expertise required to provide a detailed and comprehensive opinion. Surat Thani has a medical school and is a designated regional centre of excellence. Phuket does not have the same facilities for the simple reason that they would have been underused. Not enough dead bodies are in Phuket. It's why bodies get shipped to Bangkok from towns and villages 6 hours away and its why Surat thani is used. In the south Hat Yai is the designated centre. Trust this answers your concern.
Not enough dead bodies in Phuket to warrant such a facility ?
