This post written with the consultation of Dr Felicity Nicholson
People new to exotic travel often worry about tropical diseases, but it is accidents that are most likely to carry you off. Road accidents are very common in Bangladesh so be aware and do what you can to reduce risks: try to travel during daylight hours, always wear a seatbelt and refuse to be driven by anyone who has been drinking. Listen to local advice about areas where violent crime is rife. Traveling around the major cities after 22.00, especially Dhaka and Chittagong, is best done in private transport. Noise pollution is another major problem in Dhaka and Chittagong, so if you have sensitive ears bring a pair of earplugs. Sound-blocking earphones and a music device are even smarter for when you’re stuck in traffic.
