When are you off? we are getting married there in June.
We have been to Thailand a few times, to various areas inclu Koh Samui and have never taken maleria tablets, Fine as lng as sticking to tourist areas. As for Jabs they are recommended- we have had Hep A, Typhoid and tetnus and polio should be up to date I think. Feel really guilty as DD (2) needs two jabs next week. Obviously it is a personal thing but I feel safer having jabs than not.

Went last year with DS's who are twins and were aged almost 4. No malaria but same jabs as above, have a great time!

I live in Asia and don't take anything.

Where in Koh Samui are you getting married? I hope it doesn't rain!

Have just been to doc's for DCs to be jabbed for Malaysia and Thailand. If they're up-to-date with all the usual jabs, then all they need is Hep A. Some areas of Thailand need malaria, but an arbitrary line around certain places on map. Touristy bits seemed to be OK.
