Thailand’s health ministry has sent out a warning to tourists to be on the lookout for dengue fever. Two people have just recently died of the deadly disease.

On Monday, the Health Ministry of Thailand issued a warning to remind both locals and travelers to be aware of a dengue fever explosion. The number of people contracting this tropical disease has risen by 75% compared to the same time last year.

Seventy-six Thai provinces have already been declared to be affected by the disease. Meanwhile the Thai government is enforcing that major sanitization process should be performed at local hospitals.

None of the news reports I've seen are very specific but I think it's down south at present. However, Bangkok is worried about migrating workers & is taking precautions -- let's hope Hua Hin does as well!
