Dengue in Krabi Town?

[Don Chance]

I am thinking of going to Krabi town n the first week of October, but i was reading about the dengue outbreak or is that in jungle of the Krabi province? What about Ao Nang? Also do you think there will be a lot of rain in the first week of October? I could put the trip off until November.

I have no idea about the rain but Dengue is endemic across the whole of Thailand

I think you will be ok,try to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes specifically in the daytime.

As for the weather no idea.

Take a chance Don.

I imagine in Krabi town they spray so it would be not much risk.

I lived in Aonang for many years and I got bitten a million times by mozzies in town, in the national parks, rubber/palm farms, everywhere I went and I never got sick, not even a common cold.

If I were you and was worried about it enough to post a forum about it, I wouldn't go just stay at home lock the doors and windows and hide under the blankets.

But if you do go, just use some common sense, like use lots of sketoline, long sleeves and pants when in the national parks, ask for "Ya Chit Yung" when you go to the restaurants and the pub.

I would be more worried about catching a nasty STD from one of the many migrating,transient ladies of the night.

Don't worry be happy
