Are there mosquitoes in Thailand
Mosquitoes really are and sometimes very annoying. And what you are closer to nature, so mosquitoes or mosquitoes, much more. AT you may not know much about their existence, but Islands, when you live in a bungalow, sometimes without the means can not do. Although I personally do not like such things and do not use them. But it is not advice, as in Thailand you can catch Dengue fever, which during treatment is not fatal, but is tolerated so-so. Just case, read in advance its symptoms to know how her define because it starts like a common cold or flu. And, accordingly, if there is suspicion, blow immediately to to the doctor.
In Thailand, mosquito repellents are sold on any 7/11, as well as You can buy all sorts of spirals and fumitox. I also noticed that often during the day mosquitoes are not active and it seems that their No, but in the evening, Mama Do not Cry. Therefore, when you rent a house, apartments (flat), guesthouse, see if there are mosquitoes nets on the windows, a very useful thing.

Are there any snakes in Thailand
In fact, not everything is so scary. In the same suburbs live a huge number of vipers, however, in the summer all regularly go swim and sunbathe on the river. Similarly in Thailand, all this there are animals, but it is not at all a fact that you will meet her. By experience I can say that the serpent saw only transmitted on asphalt, but scorpions only in dried form (although they did not eat them, but I tried grasshoppers), and even climbed the jungle.

Angioedema
There is still such an unpleasant thing as angioedema. Arises like allergic to something, whether it is an insect bite or eaten product. Edema appears very quickly and grows in size, can last from hours to several days. Most dangerous in areas of the larynx, then you can suffocate. Therefore, the ambulance immediately need to call as soon as it began. I had something like that the truth is not in Thailand, but in the Vladimir region, was bitten by some kind midge in the lip and after 15 minutes I was better than Angelina Jolie. I’m nothing though I didn’t do this, and after about two hours everything became okay
If you suffer from allergies, please specify in advance which health insurance includes help with allergies, angioedema, chronic diseases and so on.

What else to expect in the house and near
My conclusion about dangerous insects is: the worst that can to occur, this is dengue fever. Moreover, according to statistics, it is not often get sick, especially with a fatal outcome. The rest is any insect bites or poisonous snake attacks, even more rare phenomenon. Yes, the story is full, especially about how the snake bit, but how many tourists in Thailand, and how many bites — among my acquaintances, hibernating or living in Thailand, only two were sick with dengue, and with snake bites or scorpions no one came across. By the way, not all scorpions are dangerous, bite some like bees.
Smoothly moving from the dangers to the usual troubles. The the paragraph concerns those who are simply in panic afraid of all living things and wondered if she would be in his house (don’t forget my advice on renting a house and reading). So the answer is: depending on what kind of housing you will find and in which region you will live. I noticed that in the north, the living creatures are much smaller than in the south, and the house is always more than in the apartment.
- Mosquitoes will be almost everywhere where there are no mosquito nets. Than south and wetter (island), the more mosquitoes. In Bangkok, for example, I have them I do not remember at all, and also in Pai in the very north.
- Ants will be everywhere where food is left, especially sweet. So put everything in the fridge.
- Snakes worth the wait on the lawns around the house if the house is not in city and in the countryside. Look under your feet, snakes usually do it themselves. dumped.
- Ticks can only be found in the forest, in some national park. With them, everything is the same as at home, you can pick up encephalitis, borreliosis and other things.
- Hecons come to everyone and everywhere. For me, very cute creatures, love them and glad them.
- Large flying “cockroaches” come through large crevices, but most often they can be found just on the street, usually at night.
- Any other living creature can enter the house if there are gaps (under door, windows, walls). Look for tight-fitting homes or settle in an apartment, preferably above the floor.
- In the sea, the greatest trouble is delivered by sea urchins, but on beaches where there are a lot of people should not be. Just jellyfish can sting, so if there are too many of them in the water, you probably shouldn’t bathe.
