#1. Health Check: Primary concern

  • You are not at all allowed to buy medicines from Thai pharmacies without written advice from the doctor. 
  • Diseases like chikungunya, filariasis, dengue, and Japanese Encephalitis are quite common in Thailand. Save your way from these vectors.
  • There is a high chance of animals carrying rabies. So refrain from feeding animals in public places.
  • Pollution is high, and the adverse effects of pollution on health is quite known to all of you. 

 

#2. Laws that Bind You in Thailand 

  • Laws are severely tight in Thailand. So, keep a check on your tongue and actions.
  • Drug offences are prohibited, and you may get even the death penalty for that.
  • Unlike many countries which levy restrictions on the punishment of children, Thailand gives an equal duration of punishment to everyone including children below 18 years. 
  • If murder or rape is considered an adventure for you, then be ready for wearing bright metal handcuffs. The police people will not spare without the death penalty. Still, sounds adventurous?
