Are
there any health and safety issues I should know about before traveling
to Thailand?
There is a couple of vaccination injections required before you travel.
These can vary according to your destination choice. Your General Practitioner
should advise you of these. Obviously, the change in diet may have some
effect on you but generally, the food is clean and delicious. Once in Thailand,
it is important that you only drink bottled water and don’t forget your
sunscreen because it does get hot. Apart from that, there are not any extra
precautions you need to take.
As far as safety is concerned, you are visiting a politically stable country
with a relatively low crime rate. But as with any country, you will always
get your pick pockets and thieves. To be on the safe side, take copies of
all your travel documents before you travel and leave them with a friend
or relative. Also, leave behind your expensive jewelry and don’t carry all
your money together in the same place. |

What
are Thai people like?
Thai people are very much happy go lucky characters. If you ask anyone
who has been to Thailand what it was that they liked most about the country,
the answer is usually the people. Thai’s are polite, respectful and conservative,
with a reputation for smiling a lot. They are a warm, welcoming, hospitable
people. They take great pleasure in any foreigner who displays an interest
in Thai culture, heritage and their way of life. The Thai people who you
will meet along your journey will grab the opportunity to practice their
English with you. You will notice quickly that the Thais have a great
sense of humor and have infectious laughs.
Oh, and their whole attitude to life can be summed up in one phrase, which
you will hear a lot - “Mai Pen Rai”. This means “Never Mind”. Thais are
the greatest of pacifists.
Make sure that on your journey you interact with as many local Thais as
you can. They are great company, have fascinating stories, will really
make you laugh and educate you as to the cultures and traditions of Thailand.
