Thailand with Kids

Thais dote on kids, so chances are you'll get extra help and attention when traveling with them, and the experience should be relatively problem free. Powdered and pasteurized milk are readily available. Stomach bugs and infections thrive in the tropical climate. Basic cleanliness—washing hands frequently and making sure any cuts are treated with antibacterial ointment and covered—is the best protection against bacteria. Don't let children play with or touch street animals; they may have rabies. Be careful while walking along sidewalks, where open manhole covers and people riding motorbikes can be hazardous.
