What bites in Pattaya?
I heard on TV that a tourist in Thailand contracted malaria, though I don’t know exactly where.
Are there any malarial mosquitoes in Pattaya, should I take mosquito repellents?
And in general, some kind of living creature that should be feared both at sea and on land.
Thanks

We do not recommend drinking tap water without boiling and washing fruits with this water. Use purified bottled water, which is provided free of charge in almost all hotels. It is advisable not to buy food from street and beach vendors, because. possible food poisoning.
Be careful when drinking very cold drinks (especially those with ice) on very hot days. Colds are possible. Pay attention to the quality of ice used for drinks. It is better to refuse to use it, because. is he

There can be jellyfish in the sea - they cause very large burns. And there are cases of malaria, take all measures for your safety.

I have not seen malarial mosquitoes in Thailand, but there is a small midge that bites and causes discomfort. Therefore, it is better to take a special mosquito repellent with you.

Water to drink only special. for drinking! Ice to buy at 7-11 - 2kg for 6 baht. I have not seen malarial mosquitoes, but midges have been tortured this year - they sell special ones from them. cream in small jars like "Asterisks" - it helps perfectly, it costs 30 baht. I have never seen jellyfish (that's why I go there). I almost forgot - eat spicy! - Definitely don't get sick. (verified)

Dear experts! The man asked "What bites in Pattaya?", What does the water have to do with it? I don’t know how it is now, but in the summer we didn’t observe any creeping and flying reptiles. There were geckos (small lizards, absolutely harmless) and small midges (but they were not interested in us, but in the fruits left on the table). If there was a real threat of malaria, then the tour operator would have already warned you.

And I saw one mosquito on the highway in a cafe! And so in Pattaya there are only midges, you don’t feel bites, so you shouldn’t take a mosquito repellent, but after the bites you can do something. Although the bites do not itch at all, just red dots and that's it. These are not our Russian midges, from which blisters swell. Even on Kwai there are no mosquitoes!
