Do not rent tuk tuk&#8217;s for long distance trips or by the hour. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, just use tuk tuk&#8217;s for short journeys. As the tuk tuk is open-air so the family will be exposed to the fumes. There are also no seatbelts on a tuk-tuk, which still poses a safety threat. Even despite the slow pace that tuk tuk&#8217;s drive at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Sunblock_is_a_must-have\"><\/span>2. Sunblock is a must-have<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sun protection for young children is very important<\/strong> in the tropical sun. Be sure to apply sunscreen frequently in order to avoid sun damage. It is recommended that you keep your children in the shade. That means out of the direct sunlight between 10am and 4pm when the sun is strongest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_If_you_forget_anything_that_your_child_needs_during_your_holiday_do_not_panic\"><\/span>3. If you forget anything that your child needs during your holiday, do not panic!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of shops where you can purchase the things you forgot. There is a Robinson department store and a Central Festival Mall. Both has a wide range of goods you may need, and to international standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-phuket.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Sun-protection.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:745px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Still_be_prepared_and_pack_all_the_necessities\"><\/span>4. Still, be prepared and pack all the necessities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite there being such large department stores, <strong>there is a lack of Western baby supplies in Thailand in general.<\/strong> Canned baby food is not a common household product amongst Thai families, so this will seldom be found amongst the shelves. Although there is baby formula and disposable nappies available in the stores, it is recommended that you bring your own, as there may not be brands that you recognise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Pack_for_warm_and_sunny_weather\"><\/span>5. Pack for warm and sunny weather<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When packing,<strong> make sure to pack a lot of light cotton clothes<\/strong> in order to ensure maximum comfort in the tropical heat. Crocs and sandals are suitable for your children, and it would be best if your children wore their shoes whilst walking along the beach because there may be sharp seashells and hot sand. Pack light, as you will find that most of the time will be spent in swimwear. However, if you are on a long haul flight to Thailand, be sure to pack a jumper, as the plane cabin may get chilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-phuket.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Buddha-Statues.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:745px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Do_not_allow_your_children_to_climb_any_statues_of_the_Buddha\"><\/span>6. Do not allow your children to climb any statues of the Buddha.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The locals will find this offensive and disrespectful of their culture. If you intend to visit a temple, be sure to wear long sleeves and a long skirt or pants with closed shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Bring_your_own_beach_toys\"><\/span>7. Bring your own beach toys<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The selection of beach toys in Phuket is not that great, and will also tend to be very expensive along the beach. <strong>It is advised&nbsp;that you bring your own toys for your children.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Get_your_vaccines_updated\"><\/span>8. Get your vaccines updated<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult&nbsp;your family doctor about four to six weeks before your vacation to check on the types of vaccinations suitable for you and your family members. The following vaccinations are recommended by&nbsp;Phuket International Hospital: hepatitis A,&nbsp;hepatitis B,&nbsp;typhoid,&nbsp;tetanus-diphtheria booster (if required),&nbsp;measles booster (if required) and&nbsp;polio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Family_Health_Tips_in_Phuket\"><\/span>Family Health Tips in Phuket<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Phuket has many pharmacies, either attached to hospitals or scattered throughout the community, and these pharmacies stock an impressive range of medications. By law, all pharmacies should be under the supervision of a qualified pharmacist, and the importation and manufacturing of medications is regulated by the Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medical_Care\"><\/span>Medical Care<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phukethospital.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bangkok Hospital Phuket<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Address: 2\/1 Hongyok utis Rd, Phuket City<br>Contact: +66 (0)7 625 4421<br>website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phukethospital.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.phukethospital.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite possibly one of the most advanced and modern international hospitals in South East Asia, you are sure to be in safe hands.
