Rabies remains a problem in Southeast Asia where large numbers of backpackers visit each year. During May-June 2008, a survey study was conducted of foreign backpackers in Bangkok, Thailand to assess their risk of rabies exposure. Eight hundred seventy (870) questionnaires were collected and analyzed. The median age of the backpackers was 25.5 years. Most of them were European (68.4%), followed by North American (13.2%). Although 80.7% had sought health information before traveling, only 55.6% had received information about rabies. Only 18.1% had completed pre-exposure rabies vaccination (3 shots) before travel, whereas 70.9% had not been vaccinated for rabies at all. In this study, the incidence of being licked was 3.56%, and of being bitten 0.69%, on average stays of 30.06 days in Southeast Asia. More than a half (54%) of exposures occurred in the first 10 days after arrival in Southeast Asia.
在东南亚，每年都有大量背包客来访，狂犬病仍然是一个问题。2008 年 5 月至 6 月，在泰国曼谷对外国背包客进行了一项调查研究，以评估他们接触狂犬病的风险。共收集并分析了 870 份问卷。背包客的中位数年龄为 25.5 岁。他们大多数是欧洲人（68.4%），其次是北美人（13.2%）。尽管 80.7%的人在旅行前寻求过健康信息，但只有 55.6%的人收到了有关狂犬病的信息。只有 18.1%的人在旅行前完成了狂犬病暴露前疫苗接种（3 针），而 70.9%的人根本没有接种过狂犬病疫苗。在这项研究中，被舔的平均发生率为 3.56%，被咬伤的平均发生率为 0.69%，在东南亚的平均停留时间为 30.06 天。超过一半（54%）的暴露发生在抵达东南亚后的头 10 天内。
