Hi - I'm also from Oz and went the Thailand in June. I had already had Hep A and Hep B (because I work in a hospital) but had Typhoid and a Tetanus/Diptheria/Whooping Cough booster, because it had been 10 years since I'd last had one.
I didn't bother with Malaria tabs - was just sensible and used Bushman insect repellant all the time.
You're sticking to main tourist places, so I wouldn't worry abt Japanese encephalitis either.
So I guess my answer would be Hep A, Hep B, Typhoid and Tetanus...but get to your doctor soon because you might not have enough time to finish them all before you go!

This is not a question for Yahoo Answers. This is a question for your doctor and ONLY your doctor. Sure anyone can give you "recommended" vaccinations, but don't take a persons word on here. Plus your leaving in 5 weeks, there are certain vaccinations that require a series of shots. Not just one and your done.
Why didn't you look into this sooner? This is very important when traveling to a foreign country regardless if you need them or not. You still should have consulted your doctor, unless you JUST booked these tickets.
Either way as one mentioned Hep. A & B. I always get them mixed up, but one does require a series of shots that you get one, then the other I think in like 6 months? Anyways again i'm not a doctor, so I'm not going to pretend to be one.
Just be safe and put a call into your doctor tomorrow ok.
Have a Great Trip in Thailand and be safe!

you do not favor any images for both Japan or Thailand. Vaccinations are purely necessary in case you flow to third international international places. Tokyo's airport(Narita) now appears like a significant US airport because of all its English signs and indications. Japan's prepare device also has bulletins in English, and many community eastern can communicate English extremely nicely, besides the undeniable fact that they could not trust utilizing it. purely in smaller, rural parts are there few English signs and indications, yet even then, purely the eldest can't communicate English. Thailand is even extra English orientated, and many eating places have their menu displayed in English.

Vaccination is not mandatory in Thailand.
Do NOT get vaccinated.
A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

I would say yes that you need certain vaccinations when travelling to anywhere that is new to you. There are so many air born diseases that you can catch it is necessary. I would talk to my doctor about this though.
