Thailand is like a second home to me, actually lived there for 3 months last year and travel there on average 1 trip per month.

You need to get the Hep A shots as the water quality is not of drinking standard or even teeth washing standard unless you are staying at top 5 star hotels and even then it is always bottled water in your rooms. Also you need to remember that ice is most likely normal water frozen, not bottled water frozen.

having said all that I have survived going there for the past 4 years but I make sure local water is off the agenda.

My wife also got a Hep B shot as well as another one, I will check tonight and let you know. My son also got whatever vacs he was allowed to at the time as he was only 11 months. I will post the details tomorrow when I find out what they had.
