Please consult your doctors for further medical advice.Also plan to bring mosquito repellent. Wearing long-sleeved shirts and slacksfrom dusk onward and avoiding perfume is also recommended. In addition to anample supply of any prescription drugs you are taking (and a prescription whichcan be filled in case your pills go missing) bring medicines for: Headaches,diarrhea, constipation, insect bites, sore throats, eye drops, cuts, etc.Medical standards outside Hanoi and Saigon, Siemreap and Luangprabang are lowerthat those found in western countries.
