jamescollister Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 thanks to all for the replies. ive booked us all in for the local travel clinic for whatever we may need. and water yes!! probably buy many many bottles from ubon lotus before we depart. There is a tecos in Det Udon now, no need to take water from Ubon now. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgato Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 "in november i'm taking my one year old daughter for her first trip to Thailand to meet her other family in Ubon. im concerned about how she will cope with the heat, different food and particularly the insects and obviously the mozzies. i dont really want to have to give her malaria tablets but on the other hand malaria isnt much fun. her mum had dengue fever when she was young so supposedly my daughter will have those antibodies. am i worrying over nothing?" I would seek the advice of a competent physician regarding vaccinations for your child as well as yourself (you don't need to carry something back with you to potentially pass on to her). In regard to dealing with the heat and food, common sense should prevail - i.e. shade for the heat and mai phet for the food. Malaria tablets are known to cause more problems with long term usage than the obvious benefits of preventing malaria. To give you something else to think about - Don't forget about dengue fever. Have a happy visit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
