    Hi,

    myself and my mate are going to Thailand in 3 weeks. We are flying to Bankok-and going straight to Kopanang and Phuket and Phi Phi. For the last 2 days we're flying back to Bankok. One person has told me that there is no need for any injections for where I'm going - however alot of people have said the opposite.

    What would be the general consensus?

    Cheers

    Ask your GP for advice. I would ask the question why would you not get them?... apart from the cost. Suppose it depends on how risk adverse you are.

    I was in Bangkok, Chiang Mai (up North) and Koh Samui. If I was going again I wouldn't bother.

    They reckon as you get close to Laos and in rural parts of the North there is defo a need
