Transmission is often region-limited within a country (e.g. coastal vs highland zones) and varies by season.

Thailand (TH) requires every traveller to submit the Thailand TM6 Digital Arrival/Departure Card for entry — best done a few days before departure rather than in the airport queue.

Thailand (TH) restricts or bans the import of: codeine, psychotropic substances, some sleeping pills. The risk is real — travellers have been detained at customs for over-the-counter products that are routine elsewhere. If you take any prescription medication, look up the active ingredient against the restricted list above before booking. Always carry the prescription bottle plus a doctor's letter naming the medication and the condition it treats. Adding your medications to your profile (optional) lets us tell you specifically which of yours match. Thailand FDA approval needed for some medications; carry prescription.

Thailand requires 20,000 THB or equivalent per person Have a recent bank statement, a credit card with available limit, or a sponsor letter ready — the goal is to have a documented answer the officer can check in 30 seconds, not a debate.
