Thailand is gradually turning into a real tourist mecca. A decent level of relaxation, combined with affordable prices, makes the Kingdom of Smiles more and more popular. However, this country is not completely safe, so a number of measures must be taken to avoid getting sick on vacation.
Necessary
- - antiseptic gel;
- - bottled water;
- - sunscreen;
- - medicines;
- - Thai balm;
- - repellents;
- - means of intimate protection.
Instructions
Step 1
Carry a tube of antiseptic gel or similar wipes with you wherever you go. Treat your hands with it several times a day. It will protect you from harmful bacteria much better than washing your hands with local water. Sanitary gel containers can be found in large shopping malls and restaurants.
Step 2
Do not use tap water in Thailand; it is for external use only. Brushing your teeth, washing fruit, and even more so drinking it is strictly prohibited. Purchase bottled water in trusted places, for example, in the 7/11 and Family Mart stores, which are found in any major city in this country literally at every step. At street vendors, the bottles can be opened, and tap water is poured into them.
Step 3
Be sure to stock up on the necessary medications before you travel. Due to the abundance of exotic foods, there is a high risk of allergies or intestinal upset. Always try new things with caution, and for minor itching or rashes, take an antihistamine and see your doctor.
Step 4
Protect yourself from the sun as it is very tricky in Thailand. Even in the shade, you can get burned so badly that you will spend your next vacation in bed. Use hats and sunscreen with a good filter.
Step 5
Beware of sexually transmitted diseases. Unfortunately, this country is flourishing "sex tourism", and the rates of AIDS and other dangerous diseases are very high. Avoid casual connections and always use reliable protective equipment.
Step 6
Use locally proven disease prevention methods. The famous Thai green balm with essential oils and herbs will strengthen the body's resistance to various infections. Hot spices in moderation have a certain disinfecting effect, helping to prevent intestinal diseases. Thai repellents are strong enough to repel harmful insects. Buy local remedies in large pharmacies and feel free to use them for their intended purpose.
