We advise, subject to consultation with your doctor, that you purchase high-performance mosquito repellent and apply this regularly during your holiday, including at bedtime. We would also suggest that you take with you a plug-in mosquito repellent device for your hotel room as an extra measure. These, along with DEET-based repellents, are available from most pharmacies.

It's a good idea to keep your arms and legs covered and you can also spray clothing with DEET-based products but they are less effective on clothing than on skin.

Dress code: In general, local people dress very conservatively, especially in areas away from the main towns and cities. When visiting temples and religious sites, you should cover your shoulders and knees out of respect. In some temples, you may be asked to remove your shoes before entering, so it's a good idea to take a pair of socks with you. Your Holiday Director or Local Guide will be able to offer further advice.
