A first aid kit is one of those things that make you feel safe, even when you\u2019re in the middle of nowhere in southeast Asia, and especially when you are with kids. When you always have one in your bag, you can be as spontaneous as you like and still be a \u2018responsible adult\u2019. It\u2019s important, though, to never forget it in your room because that will be the one time you actually need it. Yes\u2026 I learned that the hard way :-).<\/p>\n
Things I recommend taking:<\/strong><\/p>\n In addition, it\u2019s best if you give your kids a few basic safety rules. Whatever seems important to you. For example, my kids know to beware of certain plants that irritate the skin- you just need to point it out to them and tell them to be careful. They also know not to touch shoe soles or anything off the floor, or to come close to a motorbike\u2019s exhaust pipe (in southeast Asia there are more bikes than cars)<\/p>\n You can buy a ready-made first aid kit and just buy a few more things that are important specifically for a trip in southeast Asia with kids. That\u2019s what I did to begin with, but as time went on the bag got ripped and ruined so I bought a camera bag. A square bag, waterproof, opening from the top and divided to several compartments. I chose the size that fits comfortably in the bottom of our bag that still goes everywhere with us, and put everything in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A first aid kit is one of those things that make you feel safe, even when you\u2019re in the middle of nowhere in southeast Asia, and especially when you are with kids.
