Should I buy a ready made travel first aid kit?

Pre-packed first aid kits can be bought from travel health clinics and pharmacies and have most things you will need for travelling abroad and backpacking, but you can also put together your own first aid kit depending on where you are planning on travelling to.

If you are heading for more remote or less developed destinations (such as parts of Africa, Asia and South America) you should consider purchasing a more comprehensive first aid kit to include sterile needles, syringes, etc., which are not so necessary for a short break to Thailand.
