My mate lives in Chiang Rai and I will be visiting him there. He told me that the current way of thinking is to avoid mossies by applying plenty of spray etc.
I'm going for my first HEP B jab tomorrow and the nurse has told me if I want Malaria tablets I need a private prescription. Never had one before, but I ain't gonna pay a packet if it's not really required. I had malaria tablets years ago and bought them over the counter, as they were cheaper than the price of a bog standard prescription.
