Chikungunya

29 December 2025
Spread by mosquito bites

There's a vaccine for this

Daytime mosquitoes spread it, so repellent and covering up matter; a vaccine suits some travellers.

Dengue

04 December 2025
Spread by mosquito bites

As of 31 October 2025, a total of 51,795 dengue cases and 46 deaths have been reported in Thailand during 2025.

There's a vaccine for this

Carried by mosquitoes that bite in the daytime. Cover up, use a DEET repellent and pick rooms with screens or air-conditioning.

Severe fever with thrombocytopaenia syndrome

14 October 2025
How to lower your risk while travelling

In June 2025, two laboratory-confirmed cases of severe fever with thrombocytopaenia syndrome (SFTS) were reported in Wang Pong District, Phetchabun Province in Thailand.

No vaccine — how to stay safe

Follow sensible food, water and bite precautions, and have a word with our pharmacist about protecting yourself.

Rabies

11 September 2025
Spread by animal bites or scratches

On 9 September 2025, a rabies alert was announced for several areas in Bangkok. People have been advised to avoid contact with stray animals and seek prompt medical advice if bitten or scratched.

There's a vaccine for this

Don't pet or feed animals (dogs, monkeys, bats). If you're bitten or scratched, rinse it under running water for several minutes and get help quickly — a pre-travel course makes treatment simpler.

Zika

09 July 2025
Spread by mosquito bites

As of 5 July 2025, seven cases of Zika virus disease have been reported since the start of 2025. The following provinces have reported cases: Nakhon Ratchasima, Buriram, Chaiyaphum and Surin.

No vaccine — how to stay safe

Steer clear of daytime mosquito bites. If you're pregnant or hoping to be, have a chat with us before you book, and use condoms as Zika can pass on sexually.
