- Avoid swimming or wading in untreated freshwater, and avoid floodwater, mud, and soil after heavy rain because of risks including schistosomiasis and melioidosis. Cover cuts and wounds. (
- Prefer bottled or reliably filtered water, and use care with food from street and beach vendors, especially later in the day. Comprehensive travel insurance is advisable because private medical care can be expensive. (
