Wandr's recommendations

  • Thailand is generally safe for travelers, but it does come with some health considerations.

  • The CDC recommends routine vaccinations along with hepatitis A/B, typhoid, and sometimes Japanese encephalitis for rural travel.

  • Mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue and malaria can occur in certain areas, so strong insect precautions are important.

  • Healthcare in major cities is excellent, though rural care may be limited.

  • Food and water safety should be a priority, especially when eating street food.
