Kathie,
we went to the public health office. They listed the items/ immunizations, and let us choose. I chose it, becuaseo it is like the flu for them. So, it was my choice.
simpsonc510 how can we plan it? I don't know where my friend will take us. As soon as I know anything, I'll post here.

12345, you were offered no information or advice about travel health issues? "I chose it, becuaseo it is like the flu for them." Yipes! Take a look at www.cdc.gov/travel and read the sections on Thailand and the section on malaria.

12345 some of us travel here without any shots at all. I know, some say that is risky. I have never (knock on wood) in 30 trips to BKK had any issues whatsoever. I do have strange allergies, which is my #1 reason for refusing most meds. One of the sickest times in my life was right after a flu shot. I was hospitalized for several days as a result.
I'm sure you will be fine! Do be careful what/where you eat, and drink only bottled water. Avoid ice on the street. Dishes at street stalls are not washed properly, and they are re-used multiple times during the day.

Hello!!!
We are still in BKK an maybe I will do a brief version of a travel report after returning home. I have avoided ice, and we are trying to only drink Evian.
Simpsonc510~ So, today is the Jim Thompson House and the Four Season's TEA after 3pm. Do you want to join us? Not sure how to meet. Not sure if you'll have a sign or if we should.
Simpsonc510, 30+ trips??? No diversity? What brings you here so much? lol! We'll check this email around 2:30 today to see if you respond. Otherwise, if you are able to make it, please come. My friend from UWP will join us too.
