dengue and chikungunya

[Lazinonthebeach]

Coming back to my Samui home after several months away.  Anyone know the current situation on dengue or chikungunya on the island?

As throughout Thailand and SE Asia both diseases are here. Had one friend with Chikungunya a month or so, best advise is to wear repellent and to practice mosquito safety.

We had a few cases of chikungunya up here in Plai Laem last month. Nothing recently though. Not heard of any dengue here but it is widespread throughout Thailand at the moment. Wear light colours and repellents.

Thanks.  What part of the island is your friend living?  Everything I heard is that Chikungunya is up in the Plai Laem area.

Talking to my hairdresser yesterday and her daughter currently has chikungunya. They are in Choengmon.
