The excursion will take place in Krabi, Satun and northern Malaysia. All these places are generally very safe but normal safety precautions and attention to personal security are recommended. Covid is present but is not a serious threat-vaccination is recommended. Mosquito-borne diseases are possible so a good insect repellent and long sleeves and trousers are recommended. Sun screen and lomatil (or imodium) are also useful.

​

For entrance to Malaysia and Thailand a six-month validity on your passport is required. For participants planning to join the whole fieldtrip (both in southern Thailand and northern Malaysia), a visa to enter Thailand and Malaysia might be required. A single or multiple-entry visa to Thailand is also recommended if the participant wants return to Thailand during the end of the field trip.
