General Advice
Mosquito bites are annoying enough in themselves, but on top of that, some tropical diseases are insect borne, so applying mosquito repellent after sunset is a must.
Gastro enteric problems are among the most common ailments visitors to Thailand complain about. These are generally the result of consuming contaminated food or water, so be careful about where and what you eat.
A funny stomach can also be related to the change of climate. Remember, Thailand is a tropical country and the extreme heat and humidity can affect your overall well-being. In order to avoid dehydration, make sure you drink plenty of water. You'll see that the locals love their drinks with ice, even beer! - no wonder, it's always hot here - but most visitors tend to avoid ice cubes or crushed ice, and stick with bottled drinks, which are available in most places. Alternatively carry your own.
You'll also find that there is an abundance of food at all times both at day and night. If you eat at any of the roadside stalls check that your food is freshly prepared in front of you, and you hopefully won't have any problems.

Be a Quitter
Stop smoking, drinking, or binge eating with these three alternative therapies.
1. Clinical Hypnotherapy
What: Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnotism as a form of healing. And if you’re scared that you might be tricked into doing the chicken dance, one of our editors has undergone this treatment with no *cluck* side *cluck* effects *cluck*.
How: It is all about getting you to feel relaxed, allowing you to properly open up and letting the hypnotherapist deal directly with your subconscious. The therapist gets you into a calm and peaceful frame of mind through a relaxing voice and breathing techniques. Once you’ve entered this trance-like state, they can then tackle your concerns, fears, addictions, or whatever other issues you may have.
2. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
What: EFT is an emotional form of acupuncture. EFT considers addiction, depression or even something physical like a bad back to be disruptions in the flow of energy around your body. EFT, commonly known as “tapping,” is about unblocking that disruption and restoring the balance of energy in your body.
How: Like Chinese acupuncture, EFT tackles your issues by targeting the different meridians, or points in your body, that correspond with different illnesses or concerns. But, unlike the Chinese treatment, the points are not treated with needles, but through rhythmic tapping with the tips of your fingers. At the same time you will be vocalizing the fears and concerns related to your specific problem. By doing this, you can unblock the disruption and restore your body’s balance.
3. Laughter Therapy
What: Hahaha. No, we’re not joking. This therapy technique encourages you to laugh as loud, as long and as hard as possible. You may appear a little bit insane but that’s the whole point, it’s all about letting go and having a good chuckle.
How: Laughter improves your circulation, which in turn benefits many bodily functions such as digestion. It also relieves stress.

Hangover Cures for the First Day of 2009!!!
1. Hair of the dogGetting plastered AGAIN actually works, well, for a little while. Hangovers are caused by the liver trying to process the toxic ethanol and methanol in booze. Methanol is the really nasty one so by feeding a perpetual stream of booze to your liver, you keep it busy processing the ethanol sparing you from the effects of the methanol.
2. Spicy food
Like booze, spicy food can keep your body from getting to the methanol as it busies itself with that somtam pla raa you just shoveled into your mouth. Yes, once again you’re only delaying the inevitable.
3. Tylenol before bed
Water + anti-inflammatory = less pain when you wake up. Don’t ask us, it just works.
4. Throw Up
It’s not big, it’s not clever but you’ll feel so much better afterwards.
5. Alka seltzer
It’s too late, you’re in pain. You need aspirin and lots and lots of water.
