Travelers to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand should consult healthcare providers 4–6 weeks before departure for personalized advice. Vaccinations like Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Rabies are recommended. Carry a basic medical kit and travel insurance. Food and water precautions are essential—drink bottled or purified water and eat freshly cooked meals. Mosquito repellent and modest clothing reduce risks. Verify health advisories and book your tour with Legend Travel Group for guided support.
Routine Vaccinations: Ensure MMR, Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis, Varicella, Polio, and annual Flu shots are up to date.
Recommended Vaccinations:
Hepatitis A: Spread through contaminated food/water; essential for all three countries.
Typhoid: Foodborne; advised for street food lovers in Vietnam’s Hanoi or Cambodia’s Siem Reap.
Hepatitis B: Bloodborne/sexual transmission; recommended for longer stays or medical procedures.
Rabies: Pre-exposure vaccine for animal contact (e.g., Thailand’s monkey temples or Vietnam’s rural areas).
Japanese Encephalitis: Mosquito-borne; advised for rural travel in Cambodia’s Tonle Sap or Vietnam’s Mekong Delta during wet season.
Malaria Prevention: Low risk in urban areas; antimalarials (e.g., Doxycycline) for rural Cambodia or Thailand’s borders. Use DEET repellent and sleep under nets.
Tip: Consult a travel clinic; carry vaccination records. Legend Travel Group includes health briefings in all tours.
Water: Drink only bottled, boiled, or purified water. Use reusable bottles with filters on Vietnam Tours, Cambodia Tours, or Thailand Tours to reduce plastic waste.
Food: Eat freshly cooked, hot meals; avoid raw salads or undercooked meat. Street food in Bangkok, Phnom Penh night markets, or Hanoi is safe if busy and freshly prepared.
Ice and Fruits: Safe in reputable venues; peel fruits yourself.
Tip: Carry hand sanitizer and oral rehydration salts. Legend Travel Group selects hygienic dining spots.

Start refreshed on Vietnam Tours (Source: Internet)Cultural awareness supports health during Vietnam Travel, Cambodia Travel, and Thailand Travel. Here’s your guide:
Greetings: Use “xin chào” (Vietnam), “sua sdei” (Cambodia), “sawasdee” (Thailand) with a smile or bow; avoid physical contact if unwell.
Dress: Modest clothing reduces sun exposure and respects temple norms; lightweight, breathable fabrics prevent heatstroke.
Behaviour: Remove shoes in homes/temples; wash hands before meals; avoid touching food with left hand in Thailand/Cambodia. A guest shared: “Following local hygiene made our trip safer and richer.”
Customs: Accept offered water/food politely but verify safety; tipping healthcare staff ($1–$2 or 30,000 VND/10,000 KHR/30 THB) is appreciated.
Tip: Say “cảm ơn”/“arkun”/“khob khun” (thank you); use eco-friendly practices like reusable bottles. Tony Bùi notes: “In 20 years guiding, I’ve seen healthy, respectful travelers thrive across Southeast Asia.”
General Tips:
Language: Carry a phrase card ($1–$2 or 25,000 VND/4,000 KHR/30 THB) for health phrases; English works in clinics.
