Thailand's DDC urged caution about bird flu after a case in Cambodia, advising farm visitors to avoid sick animals. What should agro-tourism farms prepare?
Arokago reported on 20 February 2026 that the DDC urged caution about bird flu as the weather changed, after Cambodia reported a 30-year-old man in Kampot who had handled dead chickens; Thailand has had no human cases since 2009.
DDC chiefs Dr Montien Kanasawat and Dr Direk Khampaen advised avoiding sick or dead poultry, keeping raw and cooked food apart, frequent handwashing and extra care when visiting farms, zoos or agro-tourism sites.
Agro-tourism farms have children and older visitors feeding chickens, ducks and other animals daily, and the DDC named agro-tourism sites directly. Farms need handwashing points, wild-bird control, animal health checks and pen cleaning per livestock authority advice.

If buying equipment is not practical or the area is too large, use the World Health Disinfection disinfection service or ozone treatment service. The team wears full protective equipment, chooses products to suit the germ and surface, and reports after the job.
Q: Is it safe to visit farms during bird flu? A: The DDC rates Thai risk low to moderate; avoid sick animals, wash hands and see a doctor if fever follows animal contact.
Q: How long before the area can be used? A: After ULV fogging, areas are typically usable about 30 minutes later. For ozone treatment, no people or pets may be inside and the room must be ventilated before use.
Q: Can I get a tax invoice? A: Yes. Tax invoices are issued and 3% withholding tax is supported. Call 065-556-6294 or LINE @whd268.
Follow disease updates from Thailand's Department of Disease Control (hotline 1422) and the World Health Organization. Disinfection reduces germs in the environment and is not medical treatment; anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.
The DDC's warning shows agro-tourism sites must be ready. Farms with complete hygiene systems protect both visitors and animals.
