You're covered - just make sure that you're up to date on tetanus and polio. With regards to the malaria tablets, they're not required if you're going to be in major cities or coastal areas. However, if you are planning on jungle trekking or similar, do take them. But watch out - they can make you sick to your stomach. Don't do what I did and take them just before you go on a flight!

That's all you need. I was born in Thailand and lived there for 8 years, malaria is not common in some parts but Dengue fever is very common all over, there's 2 strains of the virus one you can die from the other is just like having a bad stint of flu. The fatal strain is a blood related strain and makes u bleed all over Hence the name Dengue fever which means Blood fever in English.
The mosquito's that pass this virus only come out in the afternoon and are grey and black striped although that is not easy to see.
There's no vaccine but i thought id warn you =) =) =)

Actually all you need is anti-malaria tablets. Thailand is pretty ok and you need not all those vaccinations. It is not third world anymore, as many still believe.

good suggestion from different already. you're able to take out commute insurance that's in simple terms as significant as jabs. See your nearby GP and that they provides you with expenses something from ninety - one hundred thirty GBP I had Jabs whilst Jungle hiking close to Chiang Mai yet as quickly as I pass to Chiang Mai or different universal vacationer places i've got not got boosters yet this is my selection. Have a good trip

Jungle fever, but that's only required if you are going in to the jungle for long periods of time.

I also got Yellow Fever. I didn't take maleria tablets there. I was under the impression that they'd almost got rid of that.

None required by law. I entered 2 days ago and they did not check my YELLOW CARD at all.

The NHS http://www.fitfortravel.scot.nhs.uk/ gives reasonably accurate info on vaccinations you need. MASTA http://www.masta.org/ also give info on local diseases and vaccincations but also gives safety info. NHS is free; MASTA will cost £3.49 for every 10 countries you want info on.
