This may not be the right platform but do any of you know whether it is better to get the recommended vaccines before you come to Thailand or get them at a clinic or hospital after arrival? I’m hoping that it is much cheaper than the prices I’ve received in the US.
File it under Everything else, Boss: How do y'all deal with jetlag in Thailand? It is 12 hours time difference between the East Coast and Thailand. On average, it takes me two weeks to finally adjust to BKK time after I arrive. A full month to adjust back to EST when I return. I hear people load up on Red Bull energy drinks ( guess that's how it become hugely successful) to adjust. I go there for the Nightlife. Take a siesta from 6 pm to 12 am everynight then wake up and go out and meet the hot femininas from Issan.Then sleep two hours in the early morning.
Hello! My husband and I will be visiting Thailand for 3 months starting January. Just wondering what vaccines, if any, you would recommend? Hepatitis A, Japanese Encephalitis, Rabies or?? We will be travelling to different areas of the country. Thank you!
First time my family and I will be vacationing in Thailand. What vaccinations should we have done prior to visiting? We will be spending times in both the north and south areas.
I’m hoping by this comes under the ‘everything else’ category! Myself and a group of friends have just returned from a fantastic three week trip to Phuket and the surrounding islands. During the last week there about half the group were bitten/stung. We are trying to identify what it could be. None of us saw or felt what bit us. The first time you are aware you have been bitten is when you notice a small blister. The blister grows in size over a few days and is incredibly painful until it pops. Some of us have been put on antibiotics as the bites got infected. Also seems to cause an upset stomach but this might just be a coincidence. The bite is not itchy - so not likely to be a mosquito or sand fly I think. Does this sound familiar to anyone??
