Si tes parents ont peut que tu sois malade, c'est qu'ils ne connaissent pas le pays, ou mal.
De quoi ont-ils peur ? Intestins, palu, dengue, hépatite, .. ?
Pour le palu, à Bali, il n'y en a pas officiellement.
Pour les intestins et autres touristas, peu de risque avec des mesures élémentaires :
- top prévention : pas épicé, que de l'eau minérale, pas de crudités, pas de glaces et glaçons si tu n'es pas certain qu'ils ne sont pas industriels, lavage des dents à l'eau minérale, se laver les mains très souvent, laver les verres utilisés ou ne pas en utiliser
- prévention normale : que de l'eau minérale, pas de crudités, pas de glaces et glaçons si tu n'es pas certain qu'ils ne sont pas industriels, se laver les mains souvent
Franchement, dis leur que pour la turista, y'a largement plus de chance de la choper au Maroc, donc tout près, qu'à Bali.
On peut être vacciné contre les hépatites A et C, donc le faire pour se rassurer.
On a beaucoup voyagé dans des pays bien plus craignos sanitairement, et jamais malades, idem pour nos filles qui ont commencé à voyager en asie du sud est à l'age de 4 ans.
Ils te payent une assurance voyage rapatriement si ça les rassure, et qu'ils te laissent partir ! Tu pourras même leur envoyer multiples mails si besoin pour les rassurer, tant internet est répandu la-bas.

Lombok est plus pauvre, et surtout on peut rencontrer un moustique transmetteur du palu.
On a renoncé à y aller, histoire de ne pas être obligé de prendre un traitement pour seulement 3 jours dans l'île.

N'ecoutez pas vos parents foncez le vrai risque c'est de tellement aimer qu'il va falloir y retourner😏
je suis rentre hier d'un séjour a bali aucun problème de sécurité nulle part autant le dire tout de suite. jamais je ne me suis senti en insécurité . Bien au contraire les balinais sont d'un gentillesse et d'une courtoisie rare réellement sincère. je tiens absolument à le souligner. Un pays merveilleux
Cela dit certaines régions sont effectivement déconseillées(aceh a sumatra, sulawesi central, papouasie (irian jaya j en reviens) mais bali et java lombok aucun probleme. Faire attention aussi aux transports publics ou les conducteurs sont payes au trajet parce qu'alors c'est des fois vraiment plus que sportif. Mais bali il y a tellement de circulation que le risque est minime. En taxi pas de probleme. Louer un chauffeur et un guide pour environ 40 a 50 euros (tout compris) par jour est une bonne solution. A bali on circule à l'anglaise c'est à dire à gauche donc c'est pas évident pour un francais le guide chauffeur est alors bien utile d'autant plus que les indications routieres sont assez succintes.
cela dit des problèmes existent partout une attitude attentive et respectueuse et non provocante reste naturellement de mise. (se promener avec une rolex dans un quartier défavorisé de jakarta par exemple . Mais le feriez vous dans les quartiers nord de Marseille ?). C'est simplement une question de bon sens. pareil il y a eu des attentats à Bali mais n oubliez pas ceux à Paris ou à new york le risque nulle n'existe pas. c'est loin c'est sur prenez une assurance frais médicaux et rapatriement en cas de besoin avec europ assistance qui vous aidera en cas de reel besoin (c'est pas cher) mais je pense que c'est utile c'est ce que j'avais fait et heureusement pas eu besoin. A bali les restaurants ne posent en général pas de problème au pire une tourista due au changement de climat prévoyer imodium et antibio de réserve au cas ou. Attention à la climatisation réglée trop froide risque d'angine carabinée. Sinon pas de risque sanitaire particulier pas de malaria à bali (lombok prévoir antipaludéen) et une règle ne jamais caresser ou toucher animaux (chien , chat, singes etc (rage) )
Bali est une ile extraordinaire dans tous les sens du terme
Juste une précision, les vaccins contre les hépatites existent contre la A et la B. Il n'y a pas de vaccin contre l'hépatite C. (qu'il n'y a aucune raison particulière de craindre à Bali), c'est juste une remarque de précision médicale.
Et pour avoir été à Bali l'année passée, je rejoins tout à fait les autres avis, il n'y a pas plus de risque d'avoir des problèmes digestifs qu'au Mahgreb, la malaria n'est un risque que si vous allez aux Gili et à Lombok, le risque de dengue existe, mais les répulsifs anti moustiques aussi. Je mentionnerais juste le risque de rage, pour conseiller d'éviter les contacts avec les animaux- ne pas caresser les chiens ou les chats, faire bien attention aux singes, et de consulter sans tarder en cas de morsure ou de griffure, et même si un animal vous lèche.
oui, la rage se transmet par la salive. Le virus peut pénétrer par léchage si la peau n'est pas intacte, par ex une éraflure préexistante. C'est pour cela qu'il est plus prudent d'éviter tout contact avec les animaux dans les zones d'endémie de rage . La rage un fois déclarée étant mortelle à 100% c'est pour cela qu'on recommande d'être prudent et de vacciner après toute possible exposition.
Tout à fait d'accord avec tout ce qui c'est dit .
Le palu est effectivement absent de Bali mais bien présent à Lombok .
Quant au traitement préventif , le débat reste ouvert . Personnellement, je ne l'encourage pas . D'après ce que j'ai pu constater, nombre de personnes qui l'ont pris en étaient finalement plus malades 🤪 avec ce traitement que sans .
La forme courante de la malaria ici ressemble à une bonne grippe, mal de crane en plus , mais n'entraine pas de pronostique vital . Je parle ici de généralités : on a tout de même déploré des décès il y a quelques années dus à une forme différente du palu dans l'est de Lombok .
A chacun de faire son choix.
Le moustique qui transmet la malaria est un moustique nocturne : donc nuit sous moustiquaire ou avec la clim et répulsif anti-moustique de rigueur ! On en trouve très facilement à Bali et Lombok : Off ou Autan pour ne citer que les plus courants .
En suivant ces conseils, les risques sont statistiquement faibles, voire inexistant - en 6 ans de résidence à Lombok, je ne l'ai eu qu'une seule fois 😛)
Coté sécurité, on commence à recenser une inquiétante augmentation d'agressions et de vol violents de touristes . C'est très localisé aux alentours de Kuta - à Lombok - uniquement . Il convient donc d'y être très prudent .
Tout le reste de l'île reste extrêmement sûr .
NOUS PARTONS A DEUX POUR BALI ET JE VOUDRAIS SAVOIR SI CEUX QUI ON DEJA ETE LA BAS ONT FAIT DES VACCINS ET SI OUI LESQUELS! eT POUR LA NOURRITURE QUE L'ON…
Nous avons planifié un voyage de 3 semaines cet été à Bali avec notre fille de 7 ans. Au programme Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, Ubud. Plus le temps…
Ma compagne désire aller à Bali. D'après ce que je lis sur internet, les moustiques sont abondants dans cette île, surtout au coucher du soleil. Ils propagent…
Je voudrais savoir si pour ces 3 destinations, le vaccin contre l'encéphalite japonaise et le traitement contre le paludisme sont fortement suggérés? Merci…

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
My current plan is to get my teeth treated in Cuba, especially for dental implants.
Has anyone here had experience and could refer me to a good, affordable dentist?
I’d really appreciate it if you could give me an idea of the price for one implant, since I need at least 6 done.
Thanks so much!
