While not mandatory, high-quality travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, evacuation, trip interruptions, lost baggage, and activity-related incidents is highly recommended.
Recommended vaccinations include: routine jabs (MMR, tetanus/diphtheria, polio, varicella), plus Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid, Rabies, and Yellow Fever only if arriving from or transiting through endemic areas.
Prevent mosquito-borne diseases like dengue: use repellents, especially during the wet season (May–October). Avoid drinking tap water; bring a filtered refillable bottle or rely on bottled water and purified ice.
