Health and safety in Thailand
When traveling to Thailand, it's important to be mindful of your health and safety. From the food and water you consume to the medical care available, knowing a few key tips can help ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. Here are some essential health and safety guidelines to keep in mind during your visit.
Health and Safety Tips in Thailand
For safety reasons, it's advisable to avoid eating raw vegetables and unpeeled fruits during your trip to Thailand. Ice cubes in restaurants are commercially made and safe, but it's best not to ask for ice at street vendors as they might not be hygienic. It’s better to buy cold drinks kept directly in a fridge.
Most importantly, do not drink tap water. While tap water can be used for brushing your teeth and showering, it is not safe to drink. Always opt for bottled or boiled water. Additionally, TropiGo Travel ensures that your accommodations meet the highest standards of quality and hygiene.
Medicine in Thailand
It's recommended to bring a small first-aid kit for your trip to Thailand. In addition to your regular daily medications, consider packing remedies for headaches, digestive issues, nausea, cold, and sore throat.
The risk of malaria in Thailand is low, but it’s still a good idea to bring antimalarial medication in case of emergency symptoms. Most major tourist destinations are considered malaria-free.
In large cities, medical assistance is excellent, especially in international hospitals, and pharmacies are widely available. However, in rural or mountainous areas, medical services might not be as readily available.
