Thailand is considered one of the most prominent and beautiful tourist destinations, so the number of trips to this wonderful country is always increasing, due to its increasing fame as a destination worth visiting, but going to Thailand imposes many precautions that must be taken into consideration so that the trip is unforgettable without being exposed to anything possible. That spoils the fun of your travel there. Therefore, follow this article with us to learn about the most important tips that you should follow when traveling to Thailand.
Pollination
There are some diseases that are present in Thailand and you must be vaccinated against them, the most important of which are malaria, yellow fever, hepatitis A, rabies and typhoid. You can find out which diseases you should be vaccinated against from the CDC's list of recommended vaccines for visitors to Thailand.
documents
It is advisable to take some documents proving your identity in addition to your passport, and make sure to take copies of them, if you rent anything, as we do not advise you to give your passport to anyone.
Bring locks
Make sure to bring locks with you to secure the closure of your bags or anything containing your personal contents, or also to ensure that your room in the hostel is locked.
Traditions and sanctities of the country
Taking pictures of Buddha is not recommended, as they are considered sacred, and artifacts representing Buddha or souvenirs of Buddha require permits to leave the country.
Insects
To avoid mosquito bites, we advise you to bring a mosquito repellent to always use as long as you are there. We also advise you to wear clothing that covers the entire body to ensure that you stay away from mosquitoes.
Street food
Stay away as much as possible from buying food from the street, such as the stalls that exist there, because most of them do not respect hygiene rules, thus threatening the safety of the consumer’s health.
Referral
You should always be aware of scams that happen to tourists, such as selling antiques at ridiculous prices or taking a taxi that does not have a meter in order to take a fare higher than what is usual.
water
Tap water in Thailand is considered unsafe to drink and may cause some diseases, so you must buy mineral water bottles, making sure they are tightly sealed.
Weather temperature
Thailand's weather is tropical, meaning it will be very hot during this period. Therefore, we advise you to use sunscreen on all exposed areas of the body.
Pickpocketing
In order to avoid your luggage being stolen while you are walking around, always make sure to wear a cross-body bag that contains your belongings, because it will be more difficult to pick them up.
Using or driving motorcycles
Motorcycles are known to be the most common means of transportation there, but avoid driving them as most of Thailand's roads are considered dangerous.
