A thermally-sensitive recording medium having a protecting layer formed on a thermally-sensitive recording layer containing a colorless or pale-colored electron-donating leuco dye and electron-accepting color-developing agent. The thermally-sensitive recording layer is formed on a substrate, and the protecting layer contains a resin that contains a carboxyl group, epichlorohydrin resin and modified polyamine/amide resin, and the thermally-sensitive recording medium exhibits sufficient resistant against water such as rain or humidity, and further is excellent in printing run-ability (head debris and sticking) and sensitivity.
